considering he's in the new york phil and you aren't, i dont think he needs the music. He also most likely didn't spend long preparing this, hence using the music as a crutch
He could play it better than you. If you were using sheet music and had three years to prepare. Can it buddy. Memorisation is not required for a recital to be great.
By far the best and most musical performance of this familiar trombone classic! I am awestruck to enjoy what is usually a boring familiarity.
Fantastic broad sound and musicality as always Mr. Williams! Wonderful recording
Thank you so much. One of my favorite solos. Carole Paul Trombonist Toronto
I was live that day and what a show!!
Wonderful playing.
Great !!!
Awesome!
Did he use a trigger trill?
No, he used a lip trill
I played this as part of my recital for my master's degree and I had it memorized. A faculty member should be able to memorize it as well.

I memiruse every solo I play, but I always have the music there. Things happen and it is good to have. Carole
There are advantages to playing from memory and playing from sheet. Memory puts me in the moment while the sheet lets me see what is coming!
