  • @lagooned Hands down, Fontana was the best, even Bill W. would say this. I had the priviledge of playing with both trombonists, as well as Andy Martin in Vegas, and Fontana's jazz licks, tone, and flawless technique is untouched by any other trombonist. Andy's got the tone, but his licks don't swing. Bill has the high notes and is techinically superior, but who wants to listen to his boring licks? just my thoughts, cheers!

  • can someone answer who is the piano player???

  • My all time fav bone

  • One of the best trombone solos i think i have ever heard

  • Watrous is not the best. There is no one else who can play like him, but who would want to? I believe in terms of sound Andy Martin is up there tho. Fontana is a master of the doodle, yet Rosolino invented modern jazz trombone techniques, and was crazy good at the blues. It's a tough call. There is no best, only checks and balances.

  • why have I never heard of Cal Fontana before? POP RADIO YOU ARE LETTING ME DOWN!!!

  • @themightyquinn94 In jazz, that is

  • @JoNathanRJammin Good sound? Sure, but don't compare it to Alessi by any means. I'm not saying ANYTHING against waltrous but I've probably listened to more music performed by one of those musicians each than you have all of them combined, (so don't think I'm misinformed), but in MY book watrous has an underwhelming superior sound. Sure, he's got a fantastic TONE, but it doesn't make up for what fontana, jj, rosolino, + others like Gordon have in superior CREATIVITY, by far the most important.

  • Maybe if I start today, I can be half as good as Carl by the time I'm 80.

  • Someone transcribed this one - anyone have it? I can't seem to locate my copy.
