You gotta be kidding me comparing Arthur Pryor to Frank Rosolino. Or Flight Of the Bumblebee to hard bop. If you don't know--don't comment.

Perfect is also very subjective word. I bet if we asked a player that we admired about their sound they would say they would like it to be better.

The other thing is Ronny Scott died of depression because he couldn't play anymore due to very bad teeth which he started to medicate with large amounts of
brandy. He started to complain that he was playing like Bill Clinton. I knew Ronny from the old days when the club was on Gerrard street in Soho. Ronny plus Tubby Hayes gave me my first lessons in playing Bop, plus Bill LeSage was also a great help.

Frank's use of tripple tonging was not the traditional Arban thing which is bulky but a combination of 'diggada gadaga' instead of 'tataka-tataka' Also the last mouthpiece he used was made in 1976 by Terry Warburton in Toronto. I happened to be in Terries shop when Frank came in. In consequence we use the same mouthpiece. Frank was playing at Georges Spaghetti House with my old friend Terry Clarke on drums, plus Ed Bickert and Don Thomson.

I saw Frank Rosolino playing live with Supersax back when I was in high school. He blew me away then and he still does today. I've never heard a trombone player better and I've been around over 60 years.
