Greatest bass trombonist ever

[@michaelquillen2679]

Back in the day, George Roberts and Alan Raph were the only names I knew in bass trombone players. My goal was to play as well or better than them. I believe I accomplished this by 1975. However, by '75 there were many more bass trombone players out there (Dave Bargeron, Tony Studd, etc.). But, I could hang in there with them. Today, there are more bass trombone players out there than one can shake a stick at, and most are better than I ever was during my heyday. I'm so glad to see this "beast" of an instrument has progressed so much in the past 50+ years!

There is so much to hear and explore in bass trombone today. It is so exciting!

@@KitMillais Agreed!

I have the actual music for this as opposed to a transcription

[@KitMillais]

Yes, I transcribed this before I realised you could buy the original arrangement!
