There is not much on this planet that sounds as rich as a trombone quartet. The added rhythm section is the icing on the cake. Lovely sound, great video work.

[Qermaq]

What most impresses me is three trombonists are capable of being the lead, each offering what they do, and one guy is like three bass trombonists. There is no weak link.

The best tribute to Glen, RIP to Mr. Campbell. Well played gentlemen.

So much beauty, still moves me to tears

[walterthemusician]

You realize that now you are the Brass Section Gods of every High School and College marching band in the country. They will all look up to you now that they realize the true potential of their trombones. Now they know they can be cool! Excellent job and very creative!

Bob Dylan said upon hearing Wichita Lineman for the first time, "this is a perfect piece of music." These guys make it even better!!

My wife and I always loved the Glen Campbell version of this song and we would listen to it often, but when I found this version it would bring tears to her eyes.

[JonathanHiller]

The harmonies in this rendition make the hair on my arms stand up... just STELLAR work.

[BANDLDR]

Man I wish these guys were still putting out content. So tasty. 🎶

[bobgilbert]

A beautiful Jimmy Webb composition, beautifully arranged, beautifully played and beautifully recorded. Thanks Maniacal 4 for the beauty you produce.

[edsherrod]

Nice arrangement and great performance! The bass trombonist reminds me of George Roberts and the three other tenors could hold their own in any setting.

[silversonic]

My Father passed away before YouTube arrived but would have loved stuff like this.

[zebrasarecool]

The bass is incredibly articulate.... Amazing

[David-soyr]

This is one of the best I've heard in years. It's beautiful, and can only make one see the true range of an instrument which sits in the background of most compositions - I'm going next to get their album on Amazon.

[larrycragwick]

Love all your arrangements and especially like the stylistic way you play them.
You are the group I always dreamed of playing in. keep it going---please.
From a 65 year old who knows great trombone playing.

[fredglyons]

Wow!! What a blalanced sound. Love it it!!

[rnelson]

I'm a fan. Point me at an album, I feel like I should be giving these guys my money.

[Hammett]

Wow. Glen Cambell would love it, but also the writer of this strangely beautiful tune, Jimmy Webb.

[TzionCannon]

Someone make this into a clean 10 hour loop? I'm literally in love with this.

[MaxineHargrove]

OMG I'm just in love with this song
