Now, now. Jazz is all about free soul and open mind (Was it J. J. Johnson who said so? Na, it's just me mumbling). There isn't much room for bitterness.  Why don't we just enjoy world's top classical trombonists try out their jazz, yeh?

They swing like Finale 2005.

What is the name of the first song performed?

I don't know why people are complaining but it sounds like jazz to me..

[GutpileCharlie]

I too will have to side in with those that say this is not jazz. These are symphony bone players that are reading and playing the charts. They are not swinging at all.

Still, very nice.....but not jazz.

@wPHao It's not the sound but rather the whole concept of swing and jazz interpretation.

I must agree that calling this "Jazz" would be a stretch.

However, it is some bloody spectacular trombone playing.

[wPHao]

well what do you expect. they are classical players. most likely they arent going to have a perfect jazz sound

I really enjoyed these videos. I am glad that these men took the time for this impromptu gig.

What really bugs me though, is the group of juvenile commentators using words and phrases which caused their step-moms to slap the snot out of them at home.

My wife and I–along with our four classically trained daughters-- enjoyed the presentations very much. Our thanks to the people who posted these fine selections.
