	Bob Brookmeyer - Wikipedia
		Brookmeyer studierte am Konservatorium in Kansas City und begann seine Karriere als Pianist in verschiedenen Tanzbands.
		Inzwischen ist Brookmeyer nach Europa gezogen, wo er weiterhin schreibt und gelegentlich auf der Ventilposaune bei Aufnahmen mitwirkt.
		Brookmeyer gilt als erster erwähnenswerter Jazzmusiker auf der Ventilposaune seit Juan Tizol: Seine exzellenten, mit langen Melodiebögen ausgestatteten Soli sind von durchaus humorvollen Stil, der ab und an durchsetzt ist mit bluesigen und swingenden Einsprengseln.

	VH1.com : Bob Brookmeyer : Biography
		Bob Brookmeyer has long been the top valve trombonist in jazz and a very advanced arranger whose writing is influenced by modern classical music.
		Brookmeyer, who was a strong enough pianist to hold his own on a two-piano date with Bill Evans, occasionally switched to piano with Mulligan.
		Brookmeyer was fairly inactive during much of the 1970s, but made a comeback in the late '70s with some very advanced arrangements for the Mel Lewis band (of which he became musical director for a time).

		Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		A half-century or so ago, Bob Brookmeyer was one of the pillars of the West Coast cool school, making his biggest mark playing with and arranging for Gerry Mulligan's groups.
		Brookmeyer also likes to indulge himself on the piano in ballads like "Body and Soul""Body And Soul" -- nothing flashy, phrasing in much the same linear, legato fashion as he does on his horn.

		Brookmeyer, along with Guiffre and Hall, have moved on from those button-down days in 1958 at Newport, although even at that early date you could hear them pushing towards the broader spheres.

		Completing this set are Brookmeyer’s 1954 quartet session for Pacific Jazz, which has not been reissued since its 10” LP release, and a unique 1957 PJ album entitled Street Swingers which brings together the guitars of Jim Hall and Jimmy Raney with Bill Crow and Osie Johnson.
		This may be the result of Bob Brookmeyer and Nat Hentoff having written them.
		Brookmeyer is not just the best collaborator for Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan, but a star artist in his own right.

	Bob Brookmeyer New Art Orchestra \| New Works (Celebration)
		Bob Brookmeyer, at age 70, is enjoying renewed celebrity as an artist.
		Like a crafty puppetmaster, Brookmeyer unerringly guides the orchestra to suggest it all with an effortlessness that is astounding and a consistency which strikes only after the first few listens (clearly, there's a teacher at work here).
		Here, Brookmeyer explores the nuances and improvisational possibilities of whole tones, similar to the way he did on his superb 1991 ACT disc, Electricity, showing how he can set tradition a little ahead of its time.

		The Clark Terry/Bob Brookmeyer collaberation was one of the glories of jazz history.
		Brookmeyer, on the other hand, has always the more introspective artist, even to the point of playing - superbly - an instrument that has been all but ignored by the musical community at large (the valve trombone).
		Clark Terry has never sounded less glib, and Bob Brookmeyer has never sounded more alive, than in the wonderful series of recordings they made together in the 1960's.

	CD Review of Bob Brookmeyer New Art Orchestra - Get Well Soon on Challenge Jazz @ jazzreview.com
		Bob Brookmeyer and the New Art Orchestra have recorded their third CD for Challenge Records, and even though Brookmeyer has been working with the NAO for a couple decades now, Get Well Soon is distinguished by the prominent role that trumpeter Till Brönner plays in it.
		Indeed, Brookmeyer’s presence on Get Well Soon primarily is that of composer, arranger and conductor, standing back to bask in the colors that emerge, as if paints were mixing to form newer, richer, less distinct hues, as the New Art Orchestra applies the coruscating sonic materials that Brookmeyer provides.
		Brookmeyer has found the perfect outlet for his talent with the New Art Orchestra, and the NAO is fortunate as well to have a leader such as Brookmeyer to help it achieve its potential.

		Turning 75 this year, valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer brought his New Art Orchestra to town last month at the IAJE and a “Battle of the Bands” at the Village Vanguard.
		He endures as a master of the “cool” and continues to produce musical permutations resulting in elaborate and complex compositions that are clear and pure: music, that is, well, “cool”.
		Brookmeyer leads with a rounded tone that is without peer but guitarist Larry Koonse is also front and center.

	Mosaic Select 9: Bob Brookmeyer
		Although he continues to be a valued jazz artist recording occasionally, the state of Bob Brookmeyer's early catalog until recently was inexplicably in a state of disarray.
		Even at this early stage in his career, the valve trombonist comes off as a mature soloist with a rich and sonorous timbre that owes as much to the swing heroes of the day as the bebop language that was in vogue at the time.
		Tapping a segment of Brookmeyer's legacy that was all but untouched in modern times, this set is a must-have for fans of the trombonist as well as those who dig the big band sounds.

		Paul Smith, Bob Bowman and Todd Strait are the core of so many great Kansas City performances and recordings, and Bowman delivers a stand-out solo on this track.

		To be sure, both would list Slide Hampton and Bob Brookmeyer, who have each established themselves as icons of the jazz trombone and of jazz composition.
		Slide and Brookmeyer's paths to icon status started under similar circumstances - the former was cutting his teeth in Indianapolis; the latter was raised in Kansas City.
		Brookmeyer was playing with veterans from Charlie Parker's bands and being schooled in the smooth Basie-style rhythm sections for which KC was famous.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Stan Getz/Bob Brookmeyer, Recorded Fall 1961
		Prior to his late 50's stints with Gerry Mulligan and the Jimmy Guiffre 3, valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer had been a key member of Stan Getzs 1953 lineup, so this little known 1961 session marked a reunion of sorts.
		Brookmeyers tenure with Giuffre and guitarist Jim Hall had quietly revolutionised jazz, though there were (at the time) few adherents to their highly improvised chamber music.
		Certainly his rapport with the tenor player is a joy; the two handle the poised intricacies of the two uptempo Brookmeyer tunes ("Minuet" and "Thump Thump Thump") as one voice, and elsewhere fashion gracefully sublime counterpoint passages.

		Brookmeyer and Cohn and all those guys were getting to write pretty much what they wanted (laughs), and I had to rewrite Gerry's hits.
		Bob had a great sense of humor, and it made it impossible for Gerry to get into his ego thing; it pulled him back into his music thing where he was strongest, and I think without Bobby, that it might not have gone exactly that way.
		The sensitively-done solos are by Mulligan, Brookmeyer and Ferrara (in a harmon mute).
