Deux Danses J.M.Defaye *First recording* 60' Gabriel Masson trombone

[@alanraph]

This was made in the early 50's. I studied with Masson in '56. He was very influential in my own playing. We became friends as well. Alan Raph

Alan Raph! I love your playing! You, Sir, are significant, and your playing bears further testimony to your mentor. Therefore your comment is high praise indeed.

[@alanraph9433]

@@philosophicallyspeaking6463 Thank you. I think Masson's playing of the 2 dances is definitive.

Truly breathtaking. I'm a trombonist just starting my freshman year of high school. I listen to this to inspire me, and to keep my ego in check. As I watch this video, I find myself in the presence of legendary composers and fellow performers. It never fails to amaze me

4:02 I think is a reference to Tommy Dorsey's "I'm getting sentimental over you" since it was likely a popular song at the time and in France, jazz was considered important music.

I enjoyed this. His interpretation can't be wrong since the composer's at the piano ;)

i play a bolero and love it!

[@trombonepenguin]

It sure is interesting to listen to the different interpretations of the (for lack of a better word) "gliss" markings at the beginning. They're not even played in this recording. Was that marking added later or something?

Funny splice at 0:56

[@nickgamer93]

best part is @ 0:57 (The high 'F')

[@thomasburtable]

... he plays a G at the end...wtf..

[@AtlantaRagtimeBand]

and makes it sound easy

[@dylanle8239]

@@AtlantaRagtimeBand but an f is written and b flat to G just sounds weird

[@AtlantaRagtimeBand]

@@dylanle8239 Understood. The composer didn't seem to mind.
