yes, he is very melodic. Those that say he is just all chops are not listening closely enough. Let's face it, he has transcended the trombone much like Tiger has transcended golf. It becomes hard to comprehend how the hell he plays lines so angular but so crystal clear.

Elliot Mason is a sick t-bone player and thats all that needs to be said!

He's my teacher, I've learned so much from him! I am a huge advocate of lessons on Skype if you don't live in Chicago or NYC where he is. It's almost exactly the same, on my first lesson actually in person is we never skipped a beat, picked up right where we left off on the Skype lessons. He's a great teacher, he can show you all that stuff he does! His lessons are cheap too, most musicians at his level are too busy to even teach, he just loves doing it!

@SpUnKyTh3MoNk3y I heard a recording of Elliot when he was like 16 and he was swingin hard as ever back then too. No wonder though, you can't pay at this level without getting an early start and working your ass off.

@altair003 i went to school with elliot, moved into the area he lived when i was 10 years old. he was already obsessive, as was bradley...iirc, even then he was putting in 3 hours a day on school days.

If you read my previous comments about practice closely, I never say you'll become a *master* with 30 minutes of practice per day, but you certainly can make steady progress and become a *decent* player (which I'd consider playing at a semi-professional level). And it's more than just a theoretical notion of mine, it' worked for me. Why not for you?
