Here's a cool clip of Brian Lynch's project with Eddie Palmieri. It features Conrad, Greg Tardy, Dafnis Prieto, and a few others. If you thought the previous clip of Conrad wasnt to your liking, you might like him playing a GREAT solo in an afro-cuban setting.

Here is a burning Conrad Solo, in a quite different setting

Obviously, he had one fan in the audience!

I very much like that second-line rhythm on both tunes but feel that Harry Connick, Jr. does ham it up a bit overmuch, obviously for the entertainment value. Still, he has done a lot for Swing music, New Orleans' music and more importantly for New Orleans and the recovery down there.

I like both Leroy Jones and Lucian Barbarin but have heard them in better settings.

The tune ‘Bourbon Street Parade’ is a great favourite of mine, probably due to its popularity back in the late fifties and early sixties during the trad boom in the UK. Even these days it is usually the final tune of the night for my band, the Southern Bay Stompers. It is guaranteed to get the audience a bit excited before they go home. I like to leave people with a bit of a glow to carry them on their journey.

I thought you might like to hear the tune played with a British accent; here with trombone player Chris Barber's band. I think the 1982 date is a bit early for Chris to be playing the horn that dj sold him. Dare I say I think this version is a bit more authentic than the Connick version, despite the presence of New Orleans’ musicians in Harry’s band?

No banjo jokes please.

Also, you will be please to hear I have almost entirely eradicated the Chris Barber influence from my playing. It only took forty years.

I prefer the Harry Connick version better. It has more life to it.

My wife, who was born in New Orleans, and who grew up 70 miles away also prefers the Connick version.

The rhythm seems more authentic to me.

The drummer in Barber's band (and I don't know where he is from) isn't quite feeling it.

A college professor of mine, who haled from Cuba, once stated that the native never speaks his language incorrectly. Makes a lot of sense to me.

The Barber version is a credible and adequate version though.

Never in my life have I ever seen a banjo player stay that still while playing. 

Sorry if I'm bringing this up, but I enjoy the technically ridiculous and super fast doodle solos.  Not because I am wowed by them, but because it gives me something to strive for technically.  Not even speaking of solos, but I doodle tongue and practice the technique because, if there is anything in the world that irks me more, is someone or something taunting me saying I CAN'T do something.  One of the things that I'm known for, is memorizing things quickly, and when I play with anyone, be it a big band, or a symphony, if I hear something cool, I automatically think how I can put it on trombone.  You know the out-front tenor thing on Ellingtons 'Perdido'?  I learned that, just because I saw something that I couldn't do right out of the gate.  Another thing that kills me, is when I can't play something someone slaps down in front of me.  It's not that I necessarily want to impress people with virtuosity, it's more I have this innate desire to just MAKE IT.  I want to do my instrument justice, I want to be able to use it in every possible possible way (musically, I'd never turn one of my horns I use into a lamp).

On another note... I don't dig mic players... 

P.S. Always remember, don't formulate an opinion about someone based on their playing.  Jon Fedchock, when I met him, was a pleasure to chill with, and very eager to teach.

Don't worry Zem, the drummer is just another bald-headed pommy much like me. You are probably right but we try hard to get that feel. 

How about this for authentic?

It's too easy to pigeon hole players by one or two videos/solos.  I've seen Slide swallow the mic, seen Fed kill acoustic....Hal Crook gets my vote for doodle sans mic chops while with Phil Woods.....

I don't dig the sound that a player gets when they play with the mic almost coming out their mouthpiece.  So I can generalize it and say I don't dig players who do that all the time.  I got respect for them, cause they make more money than me, and can sure as hell cut me, but I just don't enjoy listening to them.  We don't have to like Mr. Watrous in order to be part of this community do we?

Sure.

Watrous sounds great in a studio setting with that mic technique though.  Live, I agree with you, but it's a personal choice he and others have made despite whatever political baggage it has brought.

Cheers,

I understand what Ruckus is saying.  I love Watrous's playing, but I prefer my virtuosos in the Rosolino mold.

As Chip points out, it might be more accurate to talk about certain types of trombone sound or playing, instead of certain types of players.

Nope, I'm fine with talking about players and/or technique....both.  I just think we need to recognize certain choices players have made along the way as.....choices.  Big horn vs small horn..... close to mic or not.....doodle tongue variant bebop or ripping bonistic angularity......just choices that players have made to express themselves in the moment in what they thought was the best way possible.

One analogy might be a guitar player's choice of amps and effects.....does it get to the point that we're not even listening to the notes as we debate the choice of fender vs roland.....wet reverb vs dryer sound....one amp vs stereo amps....

Let's enjoy the variety......celebrate diversity......give peace a chance.....kumbaya.......do unto others....

OK, more spike in my morning coffee, I thinks.

It is really interesting to plot the progress of the Carlings with their videos through the years - watch Dad loosing his hair etc. Here is that young trombonist all grown up - also handling the vocal (not her best key BTW). And this one is nearly ten years ago.

Who is the trombonist with Armstrong on this clip?

That's Tyree Glenn who was on the last band Satch had. Dig his vibrato!

Anyone know if Tyree is still alive?

I think Tyree Glenn died in May or June  of 1974.Great player in that style.Interesting to listen to.

Nice one Zem!
Just played the weekend backing Nils with the NDR big band.
Not only is he a fantastic musician but a super nice guy too.
He definately deserves more recognition over your side of the pond.

Great playing by Andy too.......
