Glad you like it! We have one playlist on the origins of Jazz, as taught by Phil Schaap (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ramtnGuDa7iFhM0) and one playlist with a series of artist interviews and oral histories (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3eUqpyilKqSqas)

The trombone in this channel has the most interesting titles

[@kaiserthegreat]

I link the clarinet and trombone in my head as two jazz instruments that fell out of favor, for whatever reason. I guess neither excelled at bebop styles.

[@baribone98]

Ooo boy I need you to look up some players those two instruments made bebop

[@kaiserthegreat]

@@baribone98 There's always exceptions to the rule, of course (J.J. Johnson, Buddy DeFranco) but I think of clarinet and trombone as more popular in the early days.

[@baribone98]

Well stop thinking that way and start watching the youth of today and get out of your big band catalog

[@TheBaconBasket1]

I highly suggest you listen to some Bob McChesney, and also the trombone has stayed very relevant even outside of jazz, James Brown's band leader was a trombonist himself, Frank wesley.
