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!

That is really nice playing, Brian. Good jazz, you hear the good notes.

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.
