It doesn't have to be trombone players for inspiration on musicality.

There you go! If you get inspired by it to play better, then it's a great listening source for you.OldWetOneCanoli wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 2:45 pmThat would be my blues playlist on iTunes. Rock, Country, and Jazz.
What has inspired me recently is the hip-hop sax soloist featured on Saturday Night Live!
Also, my local jazz streaming station, which I donate to, has terrific contemporary jazz. They are usually the standard stock of older tunes, but done in a freshened-up way and I listen to how far they go sometimes before they return home. When I listen, I practice running the melody line through my head as they go off somewhere. Sometimes it's tough for me to stay on it. But it is inspiring and I think I can learn as much from concentrated listening as I can from actual playing.

Re: recommendations for listening requested
If Ludwig Nuss is on your list, you certainly want Andy Hunter, his WDR Big Band section mate to be on that list too !

One of my favs was Tyree Glenn. Yeah, he used the pixie mute and plunger probably to excess. But when he played straight, he had a fabulously rich sound.

James Markey!
Greg Spiridopoulos’ new album is pretty great. The whole thing is on youtube.
Brian Wendell’s album is great too.

Re: recommendations for listening requested
Randy was the man!
Unfortunately there isn’t much of his solo work, there are some bootlegs hanging around here and there.
He does have quite a bit of solid section work with Maynard through the years

Re: recommendations for listening requested
I'm surprised no on has added Urbie Green to the list. Also, on the classical side Toby Oft is missing, and Gordon Wolfe (Toronto Symphony principal) has a very fine solo CD.
Jim Markey was mentioned - worth checking out both his early album on tenor as well as his more recent bass trombone offerings.
Other great bass trombone solo stuff out there from Ben Van Djck, Doug Yeo, and Randall Hawes. Brian Hecht has some great YouTube content too.
Jim Scott

While you're talking about Randy Purcell, check out his son Sean Purcell who is an incredible jazz guitarist.

Re: recommendations for listening requested
Interesting! Who knew? Dr Purcell, no less. The acorn didn't fall far. I wonder if he has any master tapes of his dad playing.
When my instructor was an up and coming artist in the 412 scene, he had occasion to play along with and sometimes just listen to Randy. Apparently, Randy was a very strong player who was not afraid to experiment live. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. But reportedly, when he was on, he was terrific.

Re: recommendations for listening requested
Yup, Shawn is a great player, he's got a bunch of fantastic little videos of his practice room playing up on his facebook.
If I remember correctly Randy's brother is a piano player, and his uncle had a big band playing around Pittsburgh way back when, so yeah it was a family thing.
Randy did put together an album of miscellaneous live stuff, aptly titled "Bootlegs" since he didn't pay any publishing fees....
Here's Shawn's email:
[email protected]
Hit him up, he may not mind sharing

Re: recommendations for listening requested
Must add the name of Ian McDougall ! (former lead trombone of Boss Brass)
Ian has put out several solo CD's since he left the Boss Brass.
He's more on the 'Urbie Green' side for stylings and soloing, and has been quoted as saying that Urbie was his biggest influence and the true GOAT.
