George Roberts - Bass Trombone (Medley)

[@TheAbfromNJ]

his tone is so incredible, even on an old black n white film...

[@tubaSiBemolle]

..analogic sounds always really..

[@jazzman99000]

Back when bass bone had one valve and tenor had no valve even in the symphony.

[@melmartin6217]

jazzman99000 my school has an old ass bass trombone with only one trigger that I'm forced to play.

[@noname-yo6yn]

jazzman99000 IT is much better than the new ones with two ventiles. Got one with one too and a Tenor with no ventile. these Are much better because you learn playing really good on them

[@tubaSiBemolle]

..my Bb contrabass trombone have one ventile, because without wasn't available..

[@petergriffin680]

Trigger*

[@Hjaltland60]

The first medley is "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" and the second medley is "Next Time, Take The Train"

[@Chiroman1997]

George Roberts was my Bass Trombone coach while in the Jazz program at SDSU circa 1991. He was fantastic. One day short on practice rooms at our usual music shop, we did an entire lesson in a very small bathroom. Acoustics weren't bad...George was dedicated.

George Roberts IS Mr. Bass Trombone!

[@joachimrolink2476]

Unbelievable how relaxed and easy.

[@derekharter3895]

[@noahray7520]

Derekthe Boss77 wn what

[@SammyBoe]

Very cool

[@carlenger9707]

Wow, he really got that classic Conn sound out of his horn

[@CommanderTuba]

I believe he's actually on a Conn 72H, it sure looks like mine. The Remington mouthpiece would also lead me to believe as such.

[@STinOC]

@arniesarnies Actually that is a single trigger bass. I can say with very little doubt (since I had the privilege of studying with George for a little while) that it is probably a Conn 70h or maybe the Olds P-22 (I think that was the number) those were the horns George spent most of his time on. George played a single trigger for most of his career.

[@garywatson2964]

This is not a Conn 70H. I own one. The 70H tuning is in the slide.

[@Juan_Bone09]

@@garywatson2964 is a 72h

[@ConnArtist70H]

So I own both 1953 70H ( just as Meet Mr Roberts model ) and a 1967 72H. I often interchage the outer slides as using the rose brass 72H outer does lighten the blow a little so I think George most likely used this set up, also there is no large brace on the J bend, just three smaller one's exactly like my 70H. Just my thoughts......Al

[@KCJazzKeys]

Look at that embrochure! Perfect!

[@tubafrogger]

thanks for the video . RIP Mr. Roberts

[@Thebestbassclarinet]

Jazzy in the hall of the mountain king

[@doniedodo5690]

[@nmk537]

"Next time, drive a Dodge!"

[@tromuniapp]

Its tiem toa ge-downg an-a-ge funky

[@arniesarnies]

He's miming guy's, that's why his embrochure's perfect. Small bore, flared bell to 10.0 inch, frosted silver, single trigger closed wrap.... Old's. Cased closed.

[@seansutherland6270]

there are quite a few player who manage to have 0 movement outside of the mouthpiece it's very difficult though

[@walkerpercy8702]

Nobody in the band is "miming."

[@randomprimate]

yo lawrence welk! that show is the bomb!

[@nicrob77]

I would like to play like it in my dreams :)

[@jacklambert1169]

George had no problem hitting that low C on his single valve bass.

[@noahray1356]

[@aroundreality7290]

Nathan A. I think it was Ford

[@YT-gv5wy]

can i have a link to had the part of tb bass

[@boneuhfide]

wonder who sponsored this...

[@RamdomMan696]

fuck ya its fun

[@alexzioek9680]

His tone and sound is just fabulous despite the tune being quite an oldschool one. Have a question: owning an old trigger, Bb/F valve trombone, probably late 19-th century, how do I tell whether it is a tenor-bass or a single valve bass? The bell is 9,2 " and the bore 0,54 ". Thanks in advance.

[@Juan_Bone09]

Is a german-style tenor

[@alexzioek9680]

@@Juan_Bone09 Thank you though I` m still convinced it is one of the early trigger basses when the large G or F bass trombone was being essentialy replaced by the new concept of adding an attachement which later evolved became the modern symphonic tenor.

[@JawigginsH]

@hippieliberaldouche I think that they were using pencils actually

[@gibsonROCKS1000]

what song is that?

[@AlferioRispoli]

ahahahahha but I have to do a small correction...they beating on their bells, not slides because there are very sensitive. ;)

[@arniesarnies]

Single trigger? I wonder what make of Trombone he's playing? Some size bell, but a small shank. He's definately nailing it though, straight down the middle........

[@Juan_Bone09]

Is a single rotor bass

[@Cheesymac00]

What song

[@johnrandolph6121]

+Andy McLean Grieg, In the Hall of the Mountain King or at least that's what the first part is based on.

[@00bean00]

The second one seems to have a chorus based on Row, Row, Row Your Boat

[@geraldoberreither9357]

Battle of Jericho 😂

Actually, its just a gag. They are pretending to hit their trombones, maybe as if they were "unworthy." Haha. But in reality, its just the percussionist hitting something like a cymbal, some of his other equipment, or a brake drum.
