The Last Chance Jazz Band @Prosser, WA Hot Jazz Bash 4/20/07

Another Great tune from the boys of the band! Name this Tune! - - - - "Trombone Rag" by Turk Murphy about 1942. - Thanks to Paul Hagglund for naming this tune for me! Paul is the young feller blasting those sublime low notes on that big beautiful, boistrous mass of Brass on the back line.

I haven't heard this band play this song in more than twenty years, when they were first trying to put it all together. The tb player is not named, but his first name is Don, too, I remember. He was an elementary school music teacher, and I have always believed that he played the damndest "Trombone Rag" I ever heard -- better than any of the top tier jazz bands, even. Maybe even better than Turk Murphy. And look at this! Rory Thomas playing with LCDJB! Wow!

Yup - These boys did some really nice work! It was fun to be there and hear them perform. Thanks for your comments.

i play the trombone as well. i am pretty equal with both the trumpet and trombone. i like both sounds that each one make, but i still like the trumpet better. (i played trombone until last month, then i switched back to trumpet)

I just remembered the tb player's last name. Don Stone. That's it.
