Nick La Riviere: Too Much To Do
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The warmth of the trombone as a brass instrument is astounding. Masters of the instrument such as Roswell Rudd, Slide Hampton, Steve Turre, Ray Anderson and Papo Vazquez give this wondrous instrument a near-human voice using smears and growls, groans and sighs.

Uwe Oberg / Christof Thewes / Michael Griener: Lacy Pool

Lacy Pool, by pianist Uwe Oberg, drummer Michael Griener, and trombonist Christof Thewes, demonstrates the “circles within a circle" puzzle that mathematicians have riddled over for centuries.

The State of the Trombone 2009: Steve Davis and Luis Bonilla
by C. Michael Bailey

The trombone has had players in both ...

Jimmy Bennington Trio: Another Friend: The Music of Herbie Nichols
by Jakob Baekgaard
The music of pianist and composer Herbie Nichols (1919-1963) has experienced something a renaissance in recent years. This is, in no small part, due to the tireless work of trombonist Roswell Rudd, who has recorded his compositions and published the book Herbie Nichols: The Unpublished Works (2000), containing 27 of Nichols' compositions. Thus, thanks to the ...
Gato Barbieri: In Search of the Mystery
by Jerry D'Souza
Leandro “Gato" Barbieri has traversed a wide range of musical styles over his career. His earliest recordings counted Don Cherry, Abdullah Ibrahim and Roswell Rudd as collaborators. He was quick to settle into the avant-garde before exploring South American music. He later went on to play pop fanned tunes and disco music. Fortunately these commercialized transgressions ...
