Just heard this, and agree that the trombone player knocked my socks off. Boy was he good! Could find no definition of a 'valide'. This is a 'superbone'

[elkartian]

The trombonist is Ashley Alexander, a Big Band trombonist, music educator and recording artist, died at a jazz camp in Saskatchewan, Canada. was 52 and had a history of heart trouble. he played with Teddy Phillips, Billy May, Stan Kenton and Tex Beneke and recorded with his own 20-piece band, most recently an album called "Power Slide."

Please somebody - who is this superb trombonist? Absolutely knocked me out - and it's a pretty awful instrument to blow, even when you have good slid and valve technique.

That trombone (valide) is a new one on me....both valves and slide. Wow that could lead to some wierd transpositions. Great sound from the whole band.

Yes, that trombone player is superb! Someone out there must know who he is. Very rare to see a valide, he plays so well and has great ideas.

Please - does anyone know who the amazing superbone player is! Absolutely great facility on both aspects of what is an extremely tricky horn. Whoever you are, you're an absolute knockout!!! I want more, more, more ......

Who is on the valide trombone? Looks like Eddie Miller on tenor.

More impressed with the anonymous band.
