Joe Alessi - Blue Bells of Scotland

Disclaimer:
This IS Joe Alessi. I am playing in this recording. I had a friend record it live from the audience. Maybe it wasn't a 'Perfect' performance, but the rehearsals with him were amazing. Do not write any more messages about how this isn't him. This was recorded with a Digital Camera, so don't expect the audio quality to be perfect either.

Yea this is Joe, absolutely...the cadenza, high F, pedals... Those who played this piece at least once should know how tough this is. I have never heard a live performance of this in a better completeness, with the last variation this clear. And I also feel just a bit better that he's also human LOL. But even having said that, he is still God to me.

im going to restrain myself from ragging on any particular person. But for those of you who are so critical of Joe alessi's playing, when you're a professor at Julliard and considered one of the best performers in the world, then you can start critiquing Mr. Alessi. Untill then, you should be asking how you can be as good as him.

Holy Trombone, Batman!

I wish I never stopped playing after hear Joe Alessi playing this piece. I was a student of his father. His father told me I should switch from trumpet to trombone. He was right and I played it better than the trumpet. Now my son inspires me to play as he plays the trombone. Thanks Joe Alessi Senior and Junior.

goal: play it better than this.

Joe allesi .... Ive heard him play and if it doesnt make you satisfied then youll never be. Thumbs up.

I actually saw this god in person. He played this and many more. Then I got the pleasure to get a master class from him! He is amazing!

@Thatrandomguy1887 oil it...

@Lotus2885 It is a piece many people try at all levels and still do not pull it off. The third variation is a chop buster or builder. Joe does a fantastic job of blending the musicallity and technical side of it. That is why he is principal trombone of the NY Philharmonic.

Wow - incredible player. I play trumpet but have always been amazed at great trombonists who could move quickly. Thanks for putting this up.

@Thatrandomguy1887

put some tuning slide gel, like hetman, anywhere thats metal-on-metal, but nowhere that will get into the actual mechanism.
