[Dixielandjazz] trombone slides

>What about a bass player playing arco?

     I haven't used a bow since I played shows in the early sixties.  I have
two French bows in my closet that haven't been used for years....and no, I
don't want to sell them.
     I also don't get to read a chart very often any more either.  It took a
long time to learn to play the changes I hear.  It's a lot more fun than
reading.  I have had discussions with 2 of my more legit friends about which
is more important: being a good reader or being able to play anything you
can whistle. (Neither are good fakers).
     My response was: If you ever develop a good enough ear to recognize the
changes and the ability to play what you can sing, you wouldn't give it up
for all the reading skills in the world.
