I never made any sort of careful study of it, and I'm always among the last to learn things that everyone else seems to know since their teenage years. So I only really learned about Mr. Rosolino a couple years ago. I'd heard the name, but I wasn't paying attention. The Jazz Scene DVD was loaned to me by a friend, and it's remarkable. I also bought a copy of Trombones, Inc. when it was rereleased on CD last year. The things that really surprised me about his playing on that was the amount of bite he gets. I play jazz with a lot of bite, but almost all of the groups I've played with are too demure for that. They'll play loud as possible (all the way through a tune), but they won't play the articulations, especially with commitment. I've been slowly filling in my shelf with CDs of jazz trombonists from all over. What's the indispensable Rosolino CD? Or are there several?

Also at this event was Charlie Parker as I remember but have lost the jeweled box it came in, that lists all the players. This was performed in 1949 long before I heard jazzers like Frank Rosolino and J.J. Johnson. Anyone on this list familiar with Tommy Turk ? Happy New Year all !

BTW, December 31 is designated "Straight Key Night", and I'm about to get the radio out of the truck and operate some CW on the airwaves. Any other trombonists/hams should look for me around 14025 until this evening, when I'll switch to either 7025 or 3525, depending on how the bands are working.

I used to see him live at the Lighthouse, and Shelly's Mannehole, (the only 2 places where minors were welcome) as well as taking a couple lessons from him. Sadly I was so amazed, honored, and thrilled to be in his mighty presence, I learned absolutely nothing. My current preferences are listed below, and are in current, but constantly changing order of preference: Trombone Heaven (with Carl Fontana) Fond Memories (with the Metropole Orch)2nd favorite Trombones Inc Great American Trombone Co. Thinking About You. As I said anything with him is absolutely wonderful, to just listen to, enjoy and just be amazed by, but these are MY favorites.

In addition I would like to recommend his "Turn Me Loose" CD. This has been reissued and is available for the price of $9.83 + shipping from this web site, http://www.oldies.com/search/keywords.cfm?results=keywords&q=Frank+Rosolino&x=15&y=12 Frank sings a lot on this CD, but he is a great scat singer, and he plays a trombone solo after every vocal chorus. Hearing Frank sing is a wonderful insight to his sense of humor. "Pennies from Heaven" is worth the price alone. I think most of us realize now that Frank was probably bi-polar, and for every time he was UP, he probably had some times when he was really DOWN. The tragedy of his death, and the circumstances surrounding it, should be balanced by the great music he left us, which is totally UP. I heard him live only once, when he came to Chicago and sat in with Dave Remington's band. He seemed very quiet and we almost had to carry him onto the bandstand to play, but he sounded great. He was certainly one of a kind. Bill Dinwiddie billdin@comcast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Holland" To: "Trb.

And also, I'm thrilled to be back on the list after a few months off. My ISP got wiggy somehow, so now I'm back using the hostbaby.com folks (so now I am emailed by christune@christune.com). They are the best for musician stuff! I love Frank's "Turn Me Loose". You have to realize that this is mainly Frank singing with his trombone playing the role of the soloist and fill on the tunes. Frank's singing is a lot like his bone playing. He is pretty marcato, and rhythmic in approach, while always being right on pitch and right on in terms of overall effect. The "Pennies from Heaven" routine was apparently a real "repertoire" thing for Frank. He did this when with Kenton, and again many times in a lot of different venues. The length on the CD is just about perfect for radio airplay. Not too, too long. Sometimes you may need to allocate quite a bit of time for your laughing to subside before moving on to the next tune. To fully understand the story of Frank Rosolino, you should study up a bit on "Bipolar Disorder". Frank did a stellar job of fighting back against this disease. He obviously tried very hard to keep both his own and everybody else's spirits up. However, the body and the mind can suffer from very serious health disorders. Many of us may encounter depression. That is usually encountered as an episode after the loss of a loved one, or of other losses. Most people move out and on from depression, but fully a quarter of the population will encounter some kind of serious depression in their life. When afflicted as Frank was with Bipolar, you have periods where your body's handling and production of neurotransmitters makes you a "depressive person", and seriously so, and then on other occasions you are now a "manic" person. Handling this medically is very difficult, even today. Mania, in particular is very fascinating. It is a state where the person is hyper capable, hyper active and hyper confidant. A "maniac" can suddenly become convinced that they can fly. This is a known side effect of meth-amphetamine use. The meth user thinks they can do anything. As most of us know, we cannot do anything. Lots of times we are lucky that we really do "something". The important thing about Frank was that he was perhaps the greatest jazz trombonist of the 1950's 1960's and 1970's. He is still a standard that I, and my buddies (e.g. Bob use as a benchmark for really playing your "butt" off.

I was hired to play at a big party that had three bands. Two big bands of about 13 pieces each with a singer, and another small 4 piece band with a sax player/singer, Johnny Reno. I was playing with one of the big bands I regularly play with, Hunter Sullivan, but playing 2nd instead of my regular bass trombone chair. At the last minute, I got called to play in the other big band also (on lead). No big deal because the band was to only play one 45 minute set before the two main bands played, basically alternating 45 sets. For a while around midnight, all three bands were on stage and play simultaneously (the same song). Anyway, I agreed to play the extra 45 minute set for $200. The Sullivan band paid $400, so I made $600 for four hours. Not bad. Then I got out to my car about 1:30 a.m. after waiting about a half hour to get checks, and the windshield on my car is smashed! Bottle, rock, who knows. Glass all over the inside of the car, but I was able to drive it home at least. Bad news...it costs slightly less to fix than my deductible so I have to pay for the whole thing. Good news (sort of) is that I had a cracked windshield before and was in need of replacement anyway, so I sort of got a two-fer on the windshield this time. Now for some time off for the next few weeks.

The archivist, Bob Shuster said that they have a few photos of Rodeheaver holding his trombone like a baton and that he may have influenced the next generation of evangelistic songleaders playing trombone. He thinks they have some photos of Cliff Barrows with trombone, too. Bob's always happy to have people come in and use the archives at Wheaton.

Two left after an hour, to go to a party. One brought over all sorts of food and stayed for dinner. She took off just in time for us to slip into the hot tub, for the fireworks. Life is good. Over the last ten years, I've progressively gone to larger and larger mouthpieces. I liked the tone I was getting and liked how a large mouthpiece feels. And each time I went to a larger mouthpiece, I needed to build a little more muscle. Perhaps with a bit more face-time, this coming year, my articulation will improve, with the bored-out Bach 3 (I play a small-bore trombone). But I've also felt that those extra muscles would be useful if I ever wanted to drop back to a smaller mouthpiece. My present favorite is a bored-out Bach 5. And with those extra muscles, I feel that I need very little pressure when I play...just enough to get a good seal.

Last night we went to a chamber music party in Duluth, GA. We played (and ate) into the new year. It was mostly strings, but we cobbled together a quintet where I played bassoon parts, reading Mozart, Kabelevsky and Pershichetti. After that, we jammed on some Gershwin tunes.

Tommy Turk was in Pittsburgh when I was a boy and my father took me to hear him when I was very young - maybe 14 or so. I followed him until I was out of college and he had moved on to Las Vegas. He made an LP in the early 80s; my late-sainted wife got me an autographed copy of it. Tommy had great technique. This was set off in the early 50s by his choice of Flo Cassenelli as the other horn on tenor. (He was a more rhythmic honker.) However, his style was considered "swashbuckling" and hence not really cool enough to qualify as bop. I'm sure I showed his influence and was also not considered appropriate by the Parker clones I played with in college. He made a solo 45-EP while with JATP, but I remember his talking about being cut from a lot of the other stuff. He is on a number of the Billie Holliday cuts - at least on the credits. He was always nice to me and talked to me about the dangers of drink and such. jw -----Original Message----- From: trombone-l-bounces@samford.edu [mailto:trombone-l-bounces@samford.edu] On Behalf Of zemry1@bellsouth.net Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 9:21 PM To: Dave Hanson; trombone-l@samford.edu Subject: Re: [Trombone-l] Tommy Turk Yes!!
