Frank Rosolino on Jazz Scene USA 1962

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Too good!!

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

Paul The T. What Y think of These Cats Frank Rosolino, Carl Fontana, Jay Jay, J, Kai Winding, Curtis Fuller ( and some scandinavians, like Åke Person, Frode Thingnes, swede and norwegian?

[@jeffreycraven8154]

Frank was the best! Never heard another trombonist with his technical skill, huge range, and melodic beauty. Thumbs up to you Paul The Trombonist from a past T-bone player that hasn't played since 2005 due to a bunch of physical crap. Well, I think I'm ready to try playing again; My restored 1935 Bach model 6 is lonesome in the case, and I have music inside of me that needs to get out.

[@jeffreycraven8154]

@@jangunnarolsen5946Rosolino was the best; Fontana and Winding were great, the others you mentioned had their moments. Other than Rosolino; Trummy Young , and Juan Tizol are the ones that rank above the rest for me.

@@bombaexplodeza1377 Joseph Alessi is an amazing musician but he couldn't do what Frank Rosolino did. I heard him try to do jazz improvisation and it sounded like dog shit. Alessi is primarily a classical musician.

[@tbonelee3629]

Rosolino was one fantastic trombonist, 4 sure and one my all-time favorites. but even with that in mind I wouldn't say he's the best to grace the earth. all of us will eventually hear someone who strikes us that way, but there are so many we'll never hear.

[@davidmaslow399]

Totally agree

[@Eupher6]

Frank had a very articulated, arpeggiated, almost "choppy" style, to be sure. But his lyricism didn't really come close to Carl Fontana's and Bill Watrous's IMHO. Watrous certainly gigged with Rosolino to good effect and certainly learned from him, but Watrous had a sweet, syrupy style that Rosolino did not have. Fontana also had a very doodly style that Watrous emulated. Definitely interesting how they all learned from each other. And how they're different at the same time.

[@marksanders6529]

All I can tell you is that when I was coming up in Los Angeles, Frank was everywhere and on almost every cool gig and session. Great player.

[@amtrakatsfnyc]

Jazz Scene USA was clearly the best format for presenting the jazz talents in our country. This program featuring Frank Rosolino shows what an outstanding musician he was. At this time of his career, he could be seen every evening on the Steve Allen Show as he was an integral of the band that was led by pianist Don Trenner. Frank also played some hilarious parts in the skits that were part of this program. He led a "commando attack" on the Hollywood Ranch Market which was across the street from Steve's studio.

[@holygroove2]

We all have to acknowledge this man's talent, at the very least. Even if you don't emulate him in your playing, you have to realize that this is STILL a very high-level of musicianship. Rossolino had an incredibly secure upper range.... it catches my ear by surprise because I'm so fixed on his dexterity and clarity on trombone!

[@harrisonreed8718]

Just don't emulate the way he "slayed" it

[@postatility9703]

​@@harrisonreed8718Sorry,but not that funny.

[@harrisonreed8718]

@@postatility9703 you mean shooting your two sons and then killing yourself? No, it's not funny. Guy straight up murdered his kid. So, maybe we shouldn't emulate him at all...

[@Lourens]

What strikes me also: the way he sings in 'Please don't bug me' is so similar to the way he plays in on the trombone (clear, fast articulation, bending notes etc). What a fenomenal trombone player and what a performer. He truly is my favorite jazz trombonist of all times.

[@desperatetimes5873]

Frank was simply the best. Genius.

When jazz was soulful & full alive! This man sings great also, and his scit-scat at the beginning are amazing.

I know I just dig it so that so much I love it

My favorite trombonist of all time. RIP Frank, but Frank'll still knock you off your chair.

[@Corekidbeenybunny]

Y’all might not know this but frank is my great uncle aka my dad’s uncle. My dad saw him live quite a few times and said he was so good live.

[@ajamu7465]

D B You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Rosolino’s murder suicide. Despite what he did he is still an amazing musician, one that should be respected for his contributions to the trombone.

[@lovelilly4428]

He was one who made a great impact on the music and Jazz community..... he had that natural born talent 💯💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@postatility9703]

Wow what a different world! This might explain why I am so attracted to b&w videos on KZbin. As for Frank Rosolino, I am always blown away whenever he blows.

[@JonathanRandazzo]

One of my all time favorite players… thank you for posting 🙏

[@JessWaid]

Okay, I don't expect you to listen to the entirety of the piece, but simply wanted to expose you to jazz trombone by one of the greatest. Yes, his life ended tragically, but not his music. This 1962 piece fits into the period of my novels, an era of great change in our country, obviously an on going process. Take time to enjoy a few bars.

[@fatheadthedog]

“Ongoing”

[@eugenejaceldo]

amazing footage!

[@analoghorn]

what a energy man... respect

[@Tatman1212]

Frank is the BEST there ever was on the trombone. He influenced so many other incredible players. You can hear a lot of his style in Bill Watrous’ work.

[@Hairless-Bear]

Thank you for this! Just awesome!

[@stevecrouse4984]

Always amazing to hear him

[@MrJazzologist1]

An impressive wild-man, this Rosolino. A superb talent.

[@marcellomentasimonsennico5670]

Hard to believe that this extroverted, high spirited performer would shoot himself to death as well as his children in 1978. Depression is a terrible disease.

[@robertgerard7055]

+Jorge Miranda I'm a sax/flute player myself, so wasn't aware of his specific technical skills. Thanks for letting me know. Although I' was always impressed with his melodic lines. His high notes are trilling. i.e at 2.59 in yesterdays.

[@gpapiosko4095]

Hi Robert.The man was out of this world.He was in Another level.I recommend a Cd of him Fond Memories with Van dyke trio 70's.Where he plays All the things you are and Autum leaves,My Funny Valentine.It just Outstanding.Also the lp Of Stan Levy Grand Stan.Cheers!

What was that Peak Note Mr.Rosilino hit in Yesterdays? a F,E,or G double prime over middle C? Man...What Chops..Fun..and Soul Frank Played and Sang with...I have Partial Hearing Loss so i cannot detect it but Looking at alternate Notes over Plus pr Minus THird and Fourth Position that IS the Hot Spot!!!

[@llkk9900]

This is a late reply but he played a double F. Specifically an F5. Top F of the treble clef staff.

Good evening everyone! I have a little question if somebody could help I really appreciate the answer. I been looking for the full lyrics of “ pennies from heaven “ by Frank Rosolino. Someone special to me is looking the solo lyrics but no where is the translation/transcription to learn the full song in my country! all the pages are blocked for COPYRIGHT or something. and we can't find the best part ever his SOLO ( scoobibobbbieee dubbie ...... ) Anybody knows where I could find it? anybody can helpme maybe Thanks for read, and greetings from Argentina.

Best to transcribe from the recording. But however I did notice this on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5Svg2OEr7SnpcU

Conn 6H or a small bore Olds I guess. He has become legendary on the 6H with the whole trombone section of the Stan Kenton Big Band which completely played the Conn 6H.

As far as the tenor trombone players in the Kenton Band is concerned.

[@angelduarte5569]

Despite his end, he’s a human being like us, his vains had blood, like ours do. Jesus teach us to love men as he loved us. I am sure God forgave him. And he’s probably in purgatory. (i’m catholic) Blessings y’all 🎺

[@jeffreycraven8154]

I'm not catholic, but I pray there is a purgatory because of his drug use. I'll always think his wife shot him and the boys and then gassed herself. No, I'll never believe Frank would shoot his sons.
