[@julianwyckoff7354]

No exaggeration, this video single handedly brought me to the choice of buying a bass trombone as a tuba player.

[@bengarcia90]

Seriously, if you’re not too busy winning a job, think about becoming a full time soloist 😎

[@tromboneman4517]

He won a one year position with the Atlanta Symphony! So… maybe he’ll still find time to do solo work and release some solos CDs still.

[@wusician]

No exaggeration, I think this is the best Fly or Die i've ever heard!

[@simonmitchell4800]

Agreed. A stunning rendition!

[@fshalor738]

Um... Actually this is really good. And its also pretty well recorded (which is HARD for recording engineers with bass trombone), but there's a bunch of sound engineering rough edges (the piano pedals, eg.) I actually broke out the headphone amp and studio cans for a second listen. Highlights of note are; the piano playing is awesome. And the slide work is awesome. This is a stitch on Fly or Die, but it's not the original version (as I'm aware) and it feels like musically it's missing bits. However, the synergy as a duet of piano and B-bone here is so good can't be mad. The audio glitches aside, the dynamics alone make this recording in this form absolute gold star level. I'd love to hear these two play the original. Even though I don't believe it has the same awesome piano part in some of those sections.

Those initial low notes were so tight!

[@capacityglobe2373]

You need to have a laser air stream fast enough to cut diamonds , a tongue with more muscles than your quads and lips stronger than steal to pull this shit off. Absolute beast.

[@LA-Brass]

Incredible!!!!! Good to see you at ITF Chance!

[@pstehly]

Chance, when you were a finalist with the West Point Band (as a Freshman!) and you played as well as you did, I knew you would be successful. This playing here is world class. And congrats on the Atlanta gig!

[@Eupher72120]

I'm just a bass trombone doubler, being mostly a euphoniumist, but this guy's flexibility, chops, and technique is right up there. Very impressed.

[@beckowdgoat]

you are honestly the best bass trombone player that i have ever heard, and i have heard this piece hundreds of times.

[@duckbread5845]

I tried looking for a good recording for Fly or Die and this is the best i had heard

[@thecarrotmae1714]

It’s done so well and its so clean that you have to wonder whether he put in hundreds of hours into making it like that or if it was just easy for him, both equally impressive imo

[@bambino100011]

Wow! I really enjoy how you made this song sing! Awesome job.

[@highmind3389]

As a bass trombonist currently trying to learn this, how do you get your high range so clean? And the cleanliness of switching ranges?? And not to mention the lip trills, I can’t even begin to figure those out 😭 I have so many questions but just like HOW???? 😭😭😭😭

Man I love this. I am a junior trombone player in high school, do you have any tips to get better besides practice? Love your content and playing.

[@carl_hardin]

Play Long tones and invest in an Arban book. Also record and listen to your practices. This can help you catch a lot of problems that you might not notice while you play. Good luck!!!

[@Stonebone-nu8dk]

@@carl_hardin thank you

ngl those high notes sound awesome, coming from a woodwind so idk how valid my claim is

What mouthpiece do you use? I’m very curious

Nice editing! Very convincing, but not the original version. But as such, excellent.

@@plunger9165 - What did I write in the very next sentence? Now, look at the original edition from Marc Reift. This is an edited version, both the bass bone part as well as the piano part. But that's ok, it's still convincing and still excellent playing.
