Just heard this AM on NPR "Jazz After Hours" that Mr. Brookmeyer had died a couple of weeks ago. He could make a valve trombone sound like it had a slide more than anyone I've heard or known. What a HELL of a musician who could turn out such beautiful melodic solos. Wish I'd payed closer attention to him thru the years, but I discounted him because he didn't play the slide... My loss. Bob will live on in his recordings; please put more of him on Utube.

RIP Mr Brookmeyer

This must be 1979 or 1980, since Sco is playing his old Gibson ES-335 and not his now omnipresent 1981 Ibanez AS 200.

@DrBones2 what about those lines? He's on my list of horn players to transcribe, but it will be a pain to get it to fit well on the ol' 6 string octave wise.

@DrBones2 he was calling himself bobby when he was with clark terry
Brookmeyer has the BEST tone ever. I have so many of his albums, and every time I hear him it's like hearing it again for the first time. He phrases his musical ideas so well, and they're all so interesting. Great song, played by great players. It's good too see some close ups to show how strong Bob's embouchure is. That's how Trombone should be played!

Ahhhh Moonlight in Vermont. I am 71 and have been a jazz fan for more than 55 years. Moonlight is one of my favorite ballads. Superb!
