Only the late Carl Fontana can be mentioned in the same sentence when you talk about great 'bone men. I had the pleasure of being at one of Bill's clinics back in the 70's. He came in a couple of minutes late and used the opportunity to show us how he warmed up for studio gigs. He assembled his horn and played an amazingly clean, smooth melody, explaining that you don't usually have any time to warm up at studio gigs, so you learn to just do it, without playing a note beforehand. Amazing!

Holy Shit!! Thats a lot of Trombones

Obviously WIlliam Watrous is not only one of the most competent Tbne player of the last 40 years but also a humble chap who will play and help other to play! Although this is obviously not the best setting and best sound for Maestro Watrous who nonetheless remains as always SENSATIONAL Bruno Pierre Gebarski Hamburg Germany

Gosh, you can hardly hear him cause of the other crap. But billy is still the man. I don't think anyone can compare to him except Frank Rosolino who is my favorite by the way.

PLayed a show with him as guest artist in 1975 at FSU-ws a perfect gentleman-blew everybody away--Kim Richmond, DOn Ellis also guest. One hell of a night. Bill's only request when we brought him from the airport is don't put him on any of Don Ellis charts. I also luckily ended up getting a slip at Daytona marina for a couple of night-our neighbors were his parents. His da and mom were living on the boat and playing a club in Daytona (1972) super nice people.

Um dos mestres do trombone, sem dúvida!
Se ele demonstrasse um pouco de emoção e seria um dos "patrões"...
Salvé, Bill!

I was in Anaheim (thanks to the folks at Summerhays Music who brought a bunch of us band directors down to check out some instruments) and caught this show...thanks for posting the recording! As cool as this tape is, it was unbelievable live. Bill Watrous is a legend. Thanks Dad for sending me the link.

Plus he's so cool in person. He was in the Selmer booth trying out all the Bach horns. I went up to him and said hello, he stopped to talk and comment on the horns, just a super nice person.
The video was tough to shoot cause it was all handheld. It's a three chip camera but the lighting was tough and the audio in the outdoor court didn't lend it's self to getting good sound.
