Four of a kind (Joe , Scott , Mark , Blair)

[stewiebassman]

I wish there was a better recording than this, cause this crappy audio quality does NOT give these amazing players any justice at all. The last chord=Awesomeness!

[butten36]

The musicianship of these guys is not to question I think, but in the field of jazz or in this case bossa nova I agree, I now many trombonists I'd rather hear playing this! And none of them would ever beat Joe on an audition for New York Phil I'm sure! Different musical worlds that's all! Everything in there playing is gr8 as far as ensemble, balance, sound etc, but just listen to a real jazztrombonist and you will experience the difference...

[wicksanu]

I tried to get a quartet of this together my senior year but i couldnt get the music in time. I love the piece, one of my favorites, also love the group, had one the albums lol.

[dcarr1212]

@TheDoctorGoat333 yea, point proven. I used the correct word. no point in arguing with a musicaly AND verbally retarded internet nerd.

[jubahmusician]

O nome não é Chega de Saudade! EM inglês "No More Blues"?

[WCUTrombones]

I wish there was a recording online that doesn't utilize swing, however badass these guys are.

[bassbonemexie]

cool stuff here

[macree01]

These guys are all absolute top of the line classical trombone players, but I dont think they should be moving into the realm of jazz, just dosent swing as hard. I am in no way insulting these guys either, I love Joes playing, just not jazz. You can give me a -1 if you want to, this is just my opinion.

[dreecee]

I agree somewhat; their recording of this piece kind of screwed up everyone's interpretation. It's bossa nova, yet they play it highly swung.  If it's the only recording you own (which for too many trombonists it is) it's hard to get those swung eighth notes out of your head!

[rugbyplayer9999]

I love their classical performances so much more. (Not that this wasn't fantastic though of course).

[Airman410]

you sir, are an idiot... find a cliff, it doesn't matter what cliff... as long as it is a cliff. go to that cliff, and jump off of it!

[LukeDawg2]

wow... you are an idiot... indeed, jump off cliff you ass. they are havin fun and you DIDN'T playing anywhere close to that in HS or else you would would have Joe's job... try some ear training to help remedy that problem...

[Troiano220]

Audition for the NY Philharmonic and replace Joe if you're such a badass

[ccruz996]

@TheDoctorGoat333 If we'ew correcting grammar, then it's "fewer cacks", not "less cacks".

[TheDoctorGoat333]

@ccruz996 Haha you said we'ew. FAIL!!! Suck at life, you do.

[Troiano220]

You're a tard. Go to hell

[TheDoctorGoat333]

@Troiano220 I played it better. And yes I could replace Joe.

[dcarr1212]

I highly doubt you played this with more clarity than this recording. And if you think that you having less "cacks" makes your high school performance better, than you really don't know what music is about. There is so much more to music than just hitting all the notes on the page. The musicality of this ensemble is amazing. the balance between them(particularly bass and 1st) is AWESOME.

[bassbone1785]

I can't agree more. Especially the bass trombone's smoothness. I can't even dream to ever play that well. These "cacks" he speaks of I couldn't hear, and obviously he has little to no musicality if he thinks highschoolers can best these guys.

[TheDoctorGoat333]

@bassbone1785 Can "best" these guys? Why can't anyone speak English when they comment on the internet. BILLY MADISON... good movie for you... go back to elementary school and realize what you've lost... BASIC GRAMMAR.

[bassbone1785]

@TheDoctorGoat333 'Best' can be used as a verb you idiot, go look it up. It seems you are the one who needs grammar lessons.

[TheDoctorGoat333]

@dcarr1212 than=THEN... everyone that comments on the internet should have a basic understanding of the English language and how it works. People learn grammar very early in life, and I doubt you weren't taught the difference between than and then. I've got more musicality in my middle finger THAN you have in your entire family tree. Thank you.

[calves92]

@TheDoctorGoat333 Lol I love how people actually believe that you think you're better than Joe. And, even if you are better than Joe, your attitude is terrible. You would never make it in the music business because no one would work with you. Amazing players with bad attitudes don't get called back. Great players with good attitudes do.

And, before you correct people on their grammar, check your double negative, buddy.

[horncomposer]

awesome. i love this version.

interesting effect the video compression has on the tones too =P

[DarthBronze]

Gota love the trill.

[BassTrombone360]

Go Blair!!!!

[mikeejm]

love the bass bone sound

[wizardwisey]

Mark Lawrence's money range, everybody!

[uscbone2009]

gotta love the high a

what a beast

[atskeeter]

amazing. i love this piece. how difficult is it? doesn't sound that hard but i may be wrong.

[RIPedParadigm]

Pretty hard. I tried it with my quartet years ago. You have to be perfectly in tune with each other and play flawlessly together, or you lose the whole effect of the piece.  Notice, you rarely hear more than two trombones playing together (except at breaks, where you hear 4) but all four trombonist are constantly playing, what does this tell you about them?

[kwonotae]

Really ? I did not know that.

but they told me 'No more Blues'

maybe arr ver.

[carlostrbn]

You are right. The original version is named "chega de saudade", of Tom Jobim, Brazilian musician, but I didn't know that there was an american version of this piece. Excuse my english.

[carlostrbn]

That is not "no more blues", that is "chega de saudade". Is a bossa nova of antonio carlos jobim,.

[nbreiner178]

For anyone that might be mildly retarded and can't find the similarity between No More Blues and Chega de Saudade,Chega de Saudade Is often translated as "No More Blues." It's the same song....

[rfchini]

really are the best trombone players, but is not jazz, is bossanova. I dont feel the brasilian swing.

[jojomusic69]

Sweet these guys are my favorite trombone quartet and they aren't even a full time group. Their recording are awesome...each and every player is virtuoso in their own right and what a smooth smooth sound on bass trombone by Blair Bollinger.

[nemo9439]

four of a kind :)

[maycpaiva]

Du kct!!!!!
