Sophisticated Lady - Duke Ellington

Post by BrianAn »

Here's a recording I did a while back of one of my favorite ballads, Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady". I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out and I hope you all are as well!

Lovely! Nice sound too! Would love to hear more btb players playing combo jazz. Such a unique color you don't hear often.

Wonderful! Fantastic! Great job, Brian. I'm a fan. :good: And I particularly loved the jazz you played on the bridge.

Ah man, that deserved much more than the 1/2 person clapping at the end of your solo.

Nice one, I'm your third subscriber :good: .

I noticed you have the "slipping glasses" problem, I also have it. Guess it's a low-notes problem for bass trombonists. It doesn't do that when I play tenor or trumpet.

Thanks everyone! Glad you all dig it! In regards to the glasses thing, I'm not sure if my glasses were actually slipping or if I just do it out of habit / as filler when leaving a lot of space. Maybe it is the low notes, who knows.
