Holy hell. When that trombone first comes in. It’s like something you’d expect to hear a shred guitarist do. I didn’t know you could play high notes like that on a trombone.
Bought the album "Woody Herman 1963" when I was in high school. Album blew my mind. Phil Wilson on bone. Sal Nistico, Bill Chase, lead trumpet . . . and many other greats on that band.
Chris Lacona Iowa State Jazz Ensemble, Watrous, Toad Stewart, Rosolino LIVE John Fedchock have same range, but not Everyone had Toad Stewart feeding them the greats, as I was fortunate to have. The tone in that register was so good compared to the aforementioned however. Was grateful to he able to play thosbwoth DSM Big Band before they retired it in memory of Toad.
Woody Herman's band was originally called the "Band that played the Blues." Here Big Band plays "Soul music." Woody got incredible talent and inspired his players to play exztraordinary music. Thank God they did, some of the best Big Band music ever came from the "Herds." Thank you for sharing this.
We played this song in High School jazz band, 1977....first time i have heard this song in over 40 years, I also played trombone, sure would like to shake Mr. Wilson's hand, amazing solo. I can't think of a more appropriate title for this song, it sounds and feels like a lonesome town from beginning to end!

That was fantastic, esp. the trombone solo! Looks like old Woody was impressed, too.
I met Woody in England in the eighties. A great guy, in no way a let-down. Maybe not the best clarinetist in the world, but a unique jazz icon.
Personally I love his clarinet playing..and he played it with a funky/ bluesy style
Great sound out of that band!
We miss you Toad Stewart.... second only to Phil himself.
I had no idea you could hit high notes on a t trumbone like that.

Very unique and smart trombone solo, definitely one of my favorites
I never knew how much i mis you
I want this played at my funeral
dang...
Wow. Really well-recorded.
I think this is from the Jazz Icons dvd series - Woody Herman Live in '64.
これぞギャング映画だね,パピリンピースですよ✌️❤️
Does anyone what this is from? Would love to see more of it.
Well! It did absolutely nothing for me.Just a load of exercises 4 me.
You mean the trombone solo? Phil Wilson was a brilliant player. To think this sounds like “excercises”? Have you ever heard excercises like this????
