Curtis was one of the best of the ballad players amongst the greats of trombone jazz. And what a sound! He was playing an Olds Opera at the time of thie recording. One heck of a big horn.

Thanks for sharing!

@56conn6h Umm, well I wont doubt that Curtis has his place among great jazz trombonists , but to say he was the best of ballad players is a little far. No offense, but his interpretations of ballads are a little off of what would be considered the norm for a true "ballad player". Think Tommy Dorsey and Urbie Green. Much more lush, with a brilliant, dazzling high range and slide vibrato. That is the true definition of a "ballad player"

It is beautiful! I don't know much about jazz, but this is very nice and it relax me! Thank you very much!

Curtis plays some sweet 'n' soft stuff, with a big, full tone - & in total control of his chops. Love this tune!

Thanks!
