I absolutely love sir duke, I learned it for fun on my bass trombone before jazz band today over the weekend.

(Played it in the low register because why not take advantage of the bass trombones massive range)

But really cool video and definitely simpler excerpts compared to some excerpts ochestras or schools ask for.

all the trombone players in this video are very skilled for sure

Greetings from Sweden

I had the pleasure to audition for the Field Band in the mid-70s. I didn't make the final cut. Quality musicians in that band!
