 An Interview with Conrad Herwig
From Jack Teagarden's innovations in alternate positions and lip flexibility, to Lawrence Brown's supple, sublime lyricism; from J. Johnson's flawless appropriation of bebop articulation to Frank Rosolino's astounding range and speed, jazz trombonists have discovered ways to do what previously was considered "impossible" on their horns.
Now the difference between J. and Frank, to me, is that J. has more of a step-wise, linear thing, and a more architectonic approach to the music.
J.'s playing is, as well, spontaneous, but Frank just had this startling approach with huge intervallic leaps, use of a lot of triplets, a lot of appoggiatura and different things.
