This is probably the cleanest recording I have ever heard. All notes in all registers have the same energy and tone qualities. Not a single note was sacrificed for volume. Very well done!

Thank you Tyler! Kleinhammer used to call the bass trombone the “furnace” of the brass section, when we heat up, so does everyone else! Fountains is the perfect example of that

While Euph was my major instrument, they don't use them in jazz...so I always played bone for that. I was nowhere near as talented on trombone so I "accidentally" got to play bass trombone for a couple semesters of jazz lab. BEST ACCIDENT EVER! When you want pretty....Euph is awesome...when you want to aggressively slap someone in the face with a low note....nothing beats bass trombone! No other instrument has made me WANT to pass out for lack of lung capacity! \oo/ \oo/

This is the best recording I have found. The thing that stands out to me is how well you can blend with the tuba, usually people overplay and drown out the tuba but you are clearly quite good at adjusting your dynamics to what is appropriate everyone else's playing.

At 1:43, the sound was smooth and clean. You have got to agree. The notes were separated well to make it smooth and clean.

Haven’t commented even after all this time, but I’ve watched this dozens times over and I can’t get enough of it. This is so tidy, and I’ve been working to get my sound this clean. Hoping to use this piece for my university auditions in a few weeks. Thank you so much for the inspiration ✨

As a bass trombonist myself I can point out one thing He sits into the tubas sounds so well until he plays the famous excerpt but even then he plays so beautifully This piece destroys trombonists as it’s so demanding for us trombonists but it’s so damn fun to play and beautiful it’s worth it Love from Sweden

Thanks very much! Yes that’s right, I do lay back until the melody starts in the bass line. That way you give extra impact and meaning to the line and aren’t over playing the less important bits
