Andy Martin is an artistic blend of Bill Watrous’ extraordinary range, Carl Fontana’s tonguing and phrasing mastery, and Jiggs Whigham’s technique with his own extraordinary range and superb tongue technique making his playing look effortless and fluid! My favorite trombone player in town right now, who incidentally is also a member of the Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band in the Los Angeles area. Martin’s play “stays behind” [Fontana and Watrous were masters at “staying behind” while playing] thus not “buggalistic” like too many brass instrument players squeezed in the parameters of often too loud rhythm sections et al. not respectful of the delicate association of lips and a mouthpiece as opposed to guys banging their rhythm section gears without any restrain! I think that Andy Martin here is EXTRAORDINARY! Thanks for sharing this group of fine artists and musicians here on KZbin!

I absolutely love how Andy has developed his own sound and style over the years. In his earlier years, he was a Carl Fontana protege. He sounded just like Carl, only with a much better sound. Andy is an awesome trombone player, period!! That's why he is one of the busiest, if not the busiest trombonist in LA.

Andy is getting some extra attention as the trombone player behind the Pixar animated feature Soul. Maybe some kids will start to think, “That Jazz music is pretty cool!” Any way to introduce younger listeners is terrific!

That is an amazing solo by Andy Martin! Love his command of against the grain playing and fretting on the trombone. And just a natural bouncy BeBop feel with his tonguing on the horn ala Jimmy Knepper.

This is an amazing small group sample of his virtuosity, if you want to hear more in a big band setting, try his solo on Emily with Carl Saurnders Bebop Big Band. Amazing, on a chart originally intended for Carl Fontana.

Andy is one of the what I call "SuperPlayers"and he's on a very short list. There is so little he's not capable of doing such that it's not even worth mentioning. Add that to the fact that he can SWING his ass off...and you've got perfection.

Extremely fine playing from all four musicians. I just wish the trombone mic wasn't popping with every articulation. Andy Martin has such a wonderful sound and is an enormously tasty and musical player, and it's a shame to hear any distortion of that. Anyway, bone can be difficult to mic and this comment isn't intended to be anything but helpful for future reference. Fantastic playing on a great tune!
@davidtatro7457 Жыл бұрын
Absolutely agree. He's a fantastically musical player with a beautiful sound. It's a shame this mic did not really capture it.
