[mr170000]

The bass trombone is at home here....

[94ejack]

Nice work.

[tncrtt]

and that is why they get paid the big bucks

[71196jmg]

i like it. but it isnt the ASO. eric bubacz is NOT michael moore. who in my opinion is one of the best tuba players in the country. BTW george curran and collin williams rockin this shit.

[LJbones3]

@71196jmg You ain't lying ;-) Coin and George are the bomb ;-)

[AttackTurkey1]

what if this was just sight read?

[stickyspeakers]

Wow. This is definitely the prime example of a balanced sound, yet powerful with the cleanest articulation and brilliant tone!

[Trombonist1991]

Yes this was very clean. But theres something i dont like about american trombone sections, i find they play very aggressively and the sound get distorted. They dont play like any europen or canadian sections, with full rich sound. Compare them, you'll see a diffence

[AgentJohnson1]

@Trombonist1991 I don't think you have the right idea of a good brass section. Listen to the Chicago Symphony.

[Trombonist1991]

@AgentJohnson1 i'm not saying they;re bad, this section is good. thight and stuff. but to my liking it's to forced... the chicago symphony is great. but for some reasone i dont like them as much...

[TheUndacovabrotha]

@Trombonist1991 this isn't the cso

[Hettbone1]

@Trombonist1991 They aren't forcing that huge sound, that's for sure.

[TromboneMasterMan]

@Trombonist1991 most of the best low brass players and sections of all time are american..just sayin. Joseph Alessi: Greatest orchestral trombonist of all time period. Pretty much the whole NY phil trombone section. Chicago: Jay Friedman, Michael Mulcahy, Charlie Vernon. Doesnt get much better than that. Arnold Jacobs: best tubist that ever lived. Roger Bobo, Doug Yeo, Edward Kleinhammer, George Roberts, Jim Markey, Allen Barnhill, David Watters R.I.P. , Ralph Sauer and the list goes on.

[mjaj416]

@TromboneMasterMan and you didn't even name anyone from Cleveland or Pittsburgh yet.......crazy

[tubamarc8891]

@TromboneMasterMan Speaking of Doug Yeo, I can't wait for him to come to Arizona State. Him + Sam Pilafian = now being a great time to be a low brass player at ASU.

[atoman88]

why is there music everywhere?

[tubadude94]

@atoman88 because theyre low brass players..?

[atoman88]

@tubadude94 eh well that makes sense i guess.. you should see my room lmfao. shit EVERYWHERE

[moosehead1988]

about as perfect as you can get. 

[MegaBeerFart]

Clean.

[luistromb]

[highbrid2008]

I Love this! im working on this excerpt now...

[fbain1horn]

fucking SICK

[MrMichelot]

super c'est du tres beau trombone bravo

[etshinn]

@adsteve84 They didn't "abridge" anything. The bass trombone is the only instrument that has the entire composite rhythm so you get longer valued notes from the other horns. It sounds fine. Especially since you can't ever hear the line on recordings unless you have a recording engineer that's especially knowledgeable about this piece.

[etshinn]

@adsteve84 The "abridged" version on the Pokorny CD is an 8vb version of what the bass trombone plays for those 4 sixteenth notes. If you listen to the passage and look at Eric Bubacz's fingerings as he plays, you can tell he's not playing in the same thing as George, he's playing the "awkward" leap as written.

[Philbatrom]

the bass bone at its best

[LLJtbone]

@Philbatrom George is a beast and a really fine teacher as well.

[tbonea1dam1]

yes yes yes!

[badoc10]

That was so clean!

I love the bass bone.

The 1st part was so crisp too.

[LLJtbone]

Very exciting sounding to say the least.

[jazzist3]

Quintessence

[INSANAZMANI]

good sound;)

[terrycuts]

AWESOME

[PhillyStang2000]

this video rocks. nuff said. i miss hearing this in the practice room next to me on a daily basis. GEORGE!

[lati2003]

This is the best playing of these excerpts on YouTube. Jesus Christ bass trombone!

[uganickb32]

@lati2003 George Curran aka Thunderlips. He's the man.

[bhscat]

Holy Shit.
