G. Langford - Rhapsody for Trombone - Joseph Alessi & Italian Brass Band

[@giuseppecangiamilla8138]

Alessi superlativo.... Ottimo il suono della Brass Band!!!

[@trombwv]

Uno dei più bei ricordi di sempre. È stato un grande onore e una soddisfazione musicale enorme poterlo dirigere e ricevere grandi e sinceri complimenti da uno dei miei idoli❤️

[@giovannicelestino5916]

Queste sono grandi soddisfazioni musicali

[@SoundofTears44]

When I first started learning good slide technique, I realized how much it will reflect in the performance and Mr. Alessi is an artist whose life work demonstrates it with ease, eloquence and passion. Here is the greatest trombone player that New York Schools ever saw. Technique is nothing without being able to sing through the horn, here is a master singer! God Bless you Joseph Alessi. 😎

Quite superb. Was like listening to Don Lusher!

[@explodingsausage6576]

... Have you actually ever listened to Don Lusher?

[@Xtroid]

My instructor has told me this piece was written for Don Lusher actually!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This music is comfortable to the ears and the mind

[@とうふ-c3j]

この曲大好き👶日本でも聞きたいな

[@davidryle1164]

Brilliant performance, but then there's the memory of Don Lusher performing this with Black Dyke brass band.

[@Arthur-hg7ny]

He’s using the Edwards horn not the Shires.

[@hudsonpedrotti7278]

This was 2016

[@evanling7570]

I couldn’t believe my ears, then I realized

[@harrychong2284]

He sounds much better on the edwards imo

[@moisesancietatasso]

Ejecuta virtuosamente el trombón,sinembargo el que tiene buen oído,cantaría una nota musical desafinada.sin ofender es mi opinión personal bendiciones

[@explodingsausage6576]

Utterly emotionless and classless. Bland.

[@tromboneguy65]

Ah yes, and you can do better than the recognized master of trombone playing. Where's your brilliant recording of this?

[@explodingsausage6576]

@@tromboneguy65 "THE" recognised master of trombone playing? Get a grip, listen to someone who isn't American for once.

[@tromboneguy65]

​@@explodingsausage6576My other favourites are Fabrice Millischer and Jörgen van Rijen, and I'm German born and bred as my mother was before me. Just because I call the highest honored, most awarded, and generally recognized trombone player by the International Trombone Association the "recognized master" doesn't mean I'm American. Get a life and stop making snobbish assumptions. Also, you have yet to prove you can do better.

[@explodingsausage6576]

@tromboneguy65 The fact you're even entertaining the idea of there being a "best trombone player" immediately disqualifies you from this discussion; there is no such thing, and using the ITA as evidence for this is also laughable. Joe is a great technical player, but he sounds like a midi file, there is no music in his playing whatsoever. Stop using the "post your playing" cop out, too. You don't need to ge a chef to determine if an omelette is undercooked.

[@tromboneguy65]

@@explodingsausage6576 I never called him the best. I personally hate the "joe-bots" that emulate him, and don't believe that he's the best, but he is great at what he does. All the players I listened to and took inspiration from were good at different things. Joe's symphonic sound, ease in the high range, and dominating power were the qualities I wished to emulate from him, but you can't beat Ian Bousfield or Michel Becquet for musicality, and I love early Christian Lindberg's soloistic sound. However, if you asked trombonists the question, "Who's the recognized master of trombone playing", the chances are relatively high a majority will say Joe. There's a reason Edwards and later Shires paraded Joe around, because he's the most famous trombone player out there and it gave them something to brag about. "Our instruments are so good, we got Joe!" Even though we all have different preferences, there's a certain prestige in being associated with him. His students, the aforementioned Joe-bots, usually go on to very notable positions, and even though you and I might hate it, we can't argue with results. If you're a trombone player, what wouldn't you do to have his technical facility? And I don't know where the hell you found midi files that sound even that good, but well done, because to my experience they all sound way way worse.
