Charlie Vernon.
Simply an amazing model of sound, whether you are a tenor or bass player. Heck, any instrumentalist can get something from his sound!

Listening to records for sound is good. Listening to a concert is even better. Sitting in a small room with someone playing in your face is best.

Orchestral tenor players -
Dudley Bright (LSO, previously in the Philharmonia Orchestra)
Derek James (Previously of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
Arthur Wilson (Dudley Bright's predecessor in the Philharmonia)
Henry Hardy (particularly while at the Royal Scottish National Orchestra)
Orchestral bass players -
Ray Premru, my personal favourite
Bob Hughes (LSO)
Jazz/commercial trombonists -
Frank Rosolino
Dick Nash
George Roberts
Being a fellow bass player, Ray Premru's playing has the most influence on me. However, there are aspects of others listed above that I draw on in other situations. For example, Henry Hardy and Derek James were terrifically exciting players, while Arthur Wilson always played with a lovely refinement and elegance. When playing jazz or lighter styles of music, I like Frank Rosolino's vibrato and Dick Nash's smoothness.
Just goes to show that it's nice to have a great sound AND know what to do with it, just like George Roberts said.
Yours,
Chris

Oooops, just noticed that the thread ask for LIVING players.
Ray Premru and Frank Rosolino are sadly no longer with us, though their recorded legacies live on. I'm not sure if Dick Nash is still playing, retired or deceased.
Yours,
Chris

Only live listening should count.....you have to REALLY hear a sound.
I'll second Derek James....I heard him in the LPO when I was a student, and was lucky enough to work with him a couple of times in the Royal Philharmonic.....Just stunning in every way.
Denis Wick.....playing at piano in Mahler two....magic.
Bill Reichenbach......velvet from two feet away.
Ben van Dijk.....THE orchestra sound.
Bob Hughes....CLASSIC bassbone.
Dave Taylor....LOTS of sounds.
Mark Nightingale....personal sounds.
So many more...

Some great players there. I would also like to add John Iveson and Chris Mowat. Both players with fantastic sounds and great musicians into the bargain.

The principal with the Milwaukee Symphony, Megumi Kanda, has a spectacular sound. She has a recoring out, the sad thing is she tries to play When the Saints go Marching In with awful results. DO NOT listen to her for jazz..... Spectacular classical player though.

I will second Sinfonia's response of Jim Pugh. The New York Pops just came into the area and did a Tribute to the Dorseys and a tribute to Skitch Henderson, their conductor who founded the Pops, but died like a week or 2 before the concert. Jim Pugh played the role of Tommy Dorsey. I was an usher for it and got to sit about 15 ft behind the string bass players, so I was up close and personal to most of the orchestra compared to most of the other 1300 people there. He played like none other I've ever heard before. I could not believe my ears after he played. He soared through the sky with his high notes, his low notes were crisp and clean, and he even incorporated some multiphonics that gave that section of the music and eerie quality, but sounded awesome. I was astounded. If I could ever sound half as good as that guy during my lifetime, I'd be happy with myself. It was just that amazing.
And on a side note, I didnt get to talk to, but I got to stand pretty darn close to the son and daughter of Tommy Dorsey!!!!!!

A lesser known classical (and jazz sometimes) trombonist that I dig is Larry Zalkind the principal of the Utah Symphony. Beautiful, Big sound; everything impeccably executed. I can recommend one of his CD's "Encore" on the Summit label that is excellent.

Actually Nitzan has been at Mannes and Manhattan School recently. He has been rehearsing with Haim Avitsur and Dave Taylor. I think they are getting ready to record an album of trombone trios. My favorite trombone sounds are Charlie Vernon, Steve Norrell, Nitzan Haroz, Joe Alessi, Dick Shearer, Dave Taylor (especially his Sinatra and Absolute recordings). The first time I heard all these guys play LIVE it was life changing--Pat

I had the chance to listen to Michel Bequet a couple of times during the eighties.In my opinion(!!);if tone quality alone matters; He`s number one with Joe Alessi number two with a slight distance down to number three (which I cant make up my mind who is).
As for bass; Charlie Vernon ,Doug Yeo and of course George Roberts(why isn`t he on everybodys list??)George Flynn and John Engelkes also deserves mentioning! Oh, and Wim Becu(sp?), bass sackbut!

Yeah! And Roswell Rudd too!!!
What is "good" tone quality? Pretty? Or is it something that speaks to you?
OK OK, so they're not classical players......
Blair Bollinger probably had the most beautiful bass bone sound I've ever heard live. Mmm mmmm......

That Bob Cochran has a dang nice tone.
( I can say that since I don't play for a living and I don't have to worry about gettin' the I-saw-you-braggin'-on-da-forum-and-I'd-blacklist-you-if-I-could-you-egotistical-son-of-a-gun stink-eye from other pros in my area. )
But seriously, I sound really really nice, just ask me! And seriously handsome! And really cool and modest!
VERY bad taste in ties, though, I'm told. A few have been unkind enough to point out my overweight condition and duck feet...and my frequent sight-reading errors...and no jazz improv skills these days, way rusty...don't always play perfectly in tune...still make time/rhythm mistakes...kids point at me and laugh, dogs bark at me, cats hiss.....
But I sounds good, I sez!

Oh yeah...
Ian McDougall! No one plays prettier. Some have played as pretty, like Urbie and a few rare others. And it's not a sickly-sweet pretty, it's always tasteful, always warm, always examplary. A hugely underrated player, at least on this forum.

OK, OK, I know you said classical players, but . . .
JJ Johnson. Mr. Tone, for my money, in the jazz world and if memory serves influential for Mr. Alessi as well. Which is probably why I like his tone for classical players best.
Totally subjective, but Alessi and Johnson create(d) my favorite tones!
