the PHATTEST trombone solis

The two solis from Alan Baylock's "Torque", an incredible funky song with some killer solis in every section.
The recording used here is from the Alan Baylock Jazz Orchestra, mostly with Airmen of Note members.
• "Torque" Alan Baylock ...
Another great recording off the album "Prime Time"
• Torque by Alan Baylock

You can Also Play it on a tenor with f atactment sry for the bad spelling

​@@Rabot7913 You can't play a low B natural with an F trigger, it has to be tuned to E or you have to have a second Gb trigger

[@Rabot7913]

@@Avstinato you can its just out of tune

[@Avstinato]

@@Rabot7913 No you can't, no professional or even semi professional would play a B natural on a tenor because it's too out of tune to be considered a B

Yoo, I know the third trombone, Matt Niess. The man’s a legend

I’ve taken a lesson with him! He’s a great teacher.

I used to think that jazz musicians didn't know how to read music like symphonic musicians do. Today, after seeing this solo, I see that they know much more than symphonic musicians, that is, they play symphonic music, but symphonic musicians cannot play jazz.

[@gavinloeper9321]

I wouldn’t say symphonic musicians *cant* play jazz, but there’s definitely a lot of stylistic rules that go with each sub-genre of jazz that you would have to learn if you want to sound like a professional. Meanwhile, the vast majority of people at least start out in a more symphonic setting and have some experience with it. As for the jazz musicians not knowing how to read music, not exactly sure where you got that from. We read music, but sometimes charts just consist of a single lead sheet with the melody and the chords. That’s usually for smaller groups like quintets, not big bands like in this vid.

@@gavinloeper9321 You didn't quite understand what I meant. I used to think that jazz musicians couldn't read music like symphonic musicians. however, today, by listening to the orchestra of Marssalis I see that they read music perhaps better than many symphonists.

[@PumilateVFX]

Jazz musicians read way harder music than symphony musicians it’s almost all the time harder and higher.

This is dope. Did you transcribe it with perfect pitch or just some good relative pitch?

[@jaqthetrombone]

Relative pitch. Me and a bass trombone friend actually learned them by ear a while back, and I figured I might as well transcribe the whole thing with all four parts

[@jaqthetrombone]

The song is "Torque" by Alan Baylock. The full thing is available for purchase somewhere for around $80, not super hard to find. This video was more just to show off the song and what the parts are like.
