Bass Trombone legend Bill Reichenbach guest appears with Matt Harris on piano and the California State University, Northridge Jazz "A" Band, October 10, 2007
Bil has always been an outstanding musician ( we graduated from the same school, same class, etc.) but I'll always remember him best from Mrs. Gleason's 12th grade English class. Keep up the good work Bill!
I like the range he played in. I dont think he played above the 2 ledger line F. The bass trombone as an improvisation instrument should use the same range as the bari sax-Down to around Db below the staff and Up to about Ab or A natural above the staff. Thats the range I use. Sometimes higher and sometimes lower. The trick is to be able to get fluid 8th's in the mid-low register of the horn similar to bari sax players.
Not to mention Matt Harris's piano solo!

He plays on hell of a Lead Bone as well - re: Toshiko Akiyoshi 1970's Band for one example.

Beautiful. I love it!
Little does the audience know... we (the band) all had our jaws on the floor while we were listening to this!

He could've, but he didn't. Theres reason for that.

He should've lowered everything an octave--making it the true bass trombone potential
