Listening to this passively in my brass playlist, I always have to remind myself that it's two trombonists and not an ensemble at the beginning. Great performance by both players. 😁
Thak you, absolute Weltklasse. Was will man auch erwarten, wenn zwei der weltbesten Posaunisten zusammen musizieren. Vielen Dank für diesen Hochgenuss. Viele Grüße Martin
As a beginning trombonist, it's videos like these that drive me to get better and better. Truly, I thank you for giving me the motivation and inspiration to get better
As a high school bass trombonist (who also happens to live in the Netherlands), your videos are a huge inspiration. I'm even considering pursuing playing the bass as a full career.
Bravo!! Absolutely astounding performance by both of you, 2 amazing virtuosos! Intonation was so well locked in! So inspiring for both tenor & bass trombone players! And the video editing & mixing were done extremely well! I'm really enjoying both viewing and listening to this audio/video recording, and looking forward to the next long distance project! Thank you both for all the hard work!
I've always dreamt of hearing you both playing a duet and now it's done ! Thank you and Steven Verhelst for this amazing piece !!! And well done to the video editor, flawless !
Fab - thank you both for all your clips during this dreadful Covid period, your inspirational playing gets me back on my Edwards bass every time even though I have no rehearsals at present👍👍
It occurs to me as we enter Christmas week (must be almost there as I spent an hour and a half shoveling snow today) that I wish we had a control with which to send one comment to numerous artists on TH-cam, without whose artistry this chamber-pot of a year would have been unbearable. Artists like James Markey and Toby Oft of my favorite Symphony Orchestra (and my favorite instrument); Ricardo Molla Albero; Stephen Verhelst; Carol Jarvis; the Barclay Brass; Gelp99 for my DCI memories; Charles Frost, who I fear has left us, but whose videos live on; Chick Corea; Jorgen van Rijen Joseph Alessi; Ben van Dijk; the list goes on and on. How many days while being worried about this virus, or the dismal state of my country's political life, have I been lifted out of my dark places and brought to somewhere where music plays and great artists continue to make great art, although I can't go sit in Symphony Hall or Jordan Hall and lose myself for an evening. There are many things about TH-cam I detest. If I trip over one more conspiracy video, or one comment totally bereft of soul, and/or imagination, or empathy, I feel like I'm going to throw my laptop out the window. But by and large, for me it's outweighed by the humanity and artistry of folks like those I listed above, and I'm sure many more. Thank you for the hours of pleasure and more important, the peace, and the inspiration (even though listening to Markey and Oft make me want to met down my old Shires tenor at times). May all the best of this season flow back to you and your families. At least I didn't hunt down Mr Markey after the Brass Bash for an autograph this year (as I did in 2019). I guess something good came out of quarantine. Joy and Peace, and music, this holiday season, and sincere thanks. You folks are the best, and at a time when we (I) needed it the most.
Still amazed by how easy Alessi makes the high notes seem to be
Effortless isn't it?

He is a human air compressor!
They are easy. The only stipulation being that you have to spend years figuring out how to make them easy.

Two musical masters meeting is always extra special. We need to get beyond the technical admiration and focus on the musicality.
2:10 to 2:35 absolute control and sounds/looks so natural. Mindblowing.
Love Joe's high range. So much control and beauty.
Excellent Audio!
...and, of course, stunningly great playing.
Thanks, guys.

good luck in pursuing bass trombone
Hey, maybe someday we will meet, I live in the U.S, Mississippi specifically, but if we both make it, we could meet.
I have this on a Spotify Playlist I definitely always thought this was like 4 guys

Foto de Camaron, grande.
The bass player is awesome also he’s playing bass second and third!!!
Ben Van Dijn besides all the trombones also plays flamenco guitar!
So good! Would love to know what equipment Ben uses...
Thein Ben van dijk model and a thein mouthpiece I'm pretty sure
Great
every Verheelst Duet sounds like Devils Waltz
He has a very distinct style
You should do the excerpt from fountains of rome
King’s amazing
Bravi!!

He meant noise! Brass can be soft as well as loud; it all depends on the score!
What type of bass trombone is that
Most likely the Thein Ben Van Dijk model.
@@cartercantrell1024 Its a Thein trombone designed for Van Dijn.-
Sorry I mispelled his name; it's Van Dijk.- I don't know Dutch at all.-
magnificent !!!
