  • Man, If only cameramen were trombone players. A lot of moves you can´t see on the slide. always in the wrong place at the right time.

  • Caught the JJ Johnson-Kai Winding Trombone Quartet wCarl Fontana & Wayne Andre (+rhythmsection) at a Sunday afternoon matinee at the Modern Jazz Room in Chicago when I was 13. I remember that they had to play without the drummer who never showed I guess cause it was too early - 4:00PM. Got all their autographs plus a soft drink for $1.50. The great Bill Harris paved the way for JJ & JJ took his place with JATP. Check out 'Stan Getz & JJJohnson at the Opera House' 1957. It is AMAZING!

  • I love how polite and kind people's comments are on jazz oriented videos. Any other style they just attack one another, thanks for the love guys

  • @KirbySTompy probably so,LOL

  • who disliked this? Was it a discouraged trombone player?

  • volume is awfully low. But love love love JJ!

  • Ralph Moore on tenor sax

  • @5061388 A guy a trombone player had a couple of trombones for sale in a garage sale Conn and Olds too bad i dont play trombone

  • This is sheer poetry; over the years I've been listening to any kind of music possible but whenever I listen to legends like J.J. Johnson I still got goose bumps; he reminds me when I was a child and my father used to play those wonderful vinyl records which consciously or not became part of me.

  • maybe I'm lazy/dumb or both, but who is the sax player? he sounds quite quite good...

  • 102 true lovers of listening j. j. johnson....

    1 total loser and misplaced!!!

  • @SpencerCHale It's almost impossible to tell you how to get that sound. Great question, nearly impossible answer. J.J. Johnson is the best. In this video, bizarre as it may seem, he's about as feeble as he ever was (and he's still great!). You get the sound with a lot of breath to the abdomen, then by pushing from there rather than from the chest or, God forbid, the mouth or lips. Deep mouthpieces help, too. JJ is using a thin one here, which he didn't do when he was younger.
