Simply fabulous! Goes for the tune as well. The composer was Willard ROBISON (not Robinson). In my opinion this is his "best" composition. He played piano with, and arranged for, Paul Whiteman's Orchestra. Frank Ward
I used to see the Welsh band on Sunday nights in N London too, absolute magic. I played D/Bass with him a few times and ended up playing with Harvey Weston who was a long serving member of AWB whilst I played Tbn..
@sliderman7 hello i am a tbn player in a dixie french/swiss dixie band. Would you happen to know of a way to find / buy some arrangements/charts of the marvelous
What an artist! Roy always crafts a beautiful trombone solo whether playing "hot" or "mellow" and I love the "last split-second vibrato" and regular sprinkling of appogiattura's in his playing. It's a real pleasure and a deep honour whenever I get to perform on Trumpet with him.
Hey Bob, we don't know each other but this made my day as well. I hung around NE London pubs in the mid 1970s and often heard Roy Williams therein. I was a budding trombonist at the time and latched on to every single note he played. Listening to this, nothing has changed. Invention, lyricism, precision are his. Thanks for posting. I hope more will discover the beauty of his playing
Hey Bob, you made my day. You know me for liking my music hot and swinging, but here is my favourite horn player,who can play hot with the rest of the guys, showing off his other side.This is pure perfection with Henry providing great back up on piano,and the rhythm section very relaxed. Sweet!!!

I used to live across the road from Roy Williams in the 80's at Nightingale Close in Luton.
A great performer with Alex Welsh, Terry Lightfoot and later, 5- a -slide.
It all seems such a long time ago.
Why cant we stay young forever !!
