Underrated/unknown/forgotten trombone recordings

[Trombo]

I think this recording classified as unknown, as are the two Austrian trombonists who recorded it. I enjoyed listening to them.

This piece is amazing. I first heard it on Naxos, with the correct Horn / Alto Trombone combination, and I could not believe how well the trills were aligned. I think I listened to it while I was at my wife's swim meet, as the full serenade version, along with Leopold Mozart's Serenade that we get his "concerto" from. I just got to watch competitive swimming to this amazing sound track.

These two guys in your video really do well. They have huge sounds on those altos! I think they were going for that French horn sound.

I have been seeking the original score or even a new publication of this piece for so long. I can't seem to find it. Maybe Maximilien has published his version.

There is a good alto trombone player from the Czech Republic here:

I haven't published it, but I should! I was hoping to make an edition of the whole serenade (which really is a great piece!) rather than publish only the "Concertino", but I'm not sure when I'll ever have the time for that...

Roswell Rudd, as i understand it, is both underrated AND overrated!
I'm a huge fan so, just for fun, tried to find a piece of his that makes even me cringe. And here it is: Infrastructure Blues.
Great title, great melody, great solo! But the spoken word bit... it's just so corny and earnest, and at the same time so totally unsuitable as a tool for "saving" the planet. So "hippy" too, so old-fashioned. Or maybe he's right: an honest personal statement is all there is most of us can do. Just spread the word, old-fashioned or not, cringeworthy or not...
It's a sort of piece/message that can only work on a one to one basis, as a private experience (probably intended to be that way).
Performing it on stage for a bunch of strangers: that would instantly make it ... all those unpleasant things already mentioned (i don't know if he ever performed it in public)

I first heard this around the time it came out (1977)…Eastern European composer, Janko Nilovic conducting a superb trombone septet with percussion! Still one of my go-to for trombone-group inspiration. It was remastered and released on CD in 2002…can be found in the Crystal catalog.


There’s a very nice recording on YouTube of The Bone Society performing Suite Balkanique:

just noticed that he's riding a bicycle with his trombone case in hand. And Lis Wessberg doing the exact same thing in one of her videos... These Danish trombonists are really taking it too far!

Buster Cooper and Thurman Green

+1 for Thurman Green

By no means unknown, underrated or forgotten — quite the opposite. But like all musician's forums we here are an island lost in the Pacific somewheres... so:

here's another immortal trombonist, Vin Gordon (sadly, not immortal at all)
