[Dixielandjazz] Trombone as a Melody Instrument - Redux

[Steve barbone]

Just came across this listing for jazz clubs in New York City. Maybe one of
our resident list mates might check it out.

Why? Their stated raison d'etre id to pay homage to Louis Armstrong and on
Sundays, there is a TROMBONE - BASS DUO. Hey, maybe the Bass is playing
melody while the Trombone tailgates? :-) VBG

Louis; 649 E. 9th St.   (Ave B / Ave C) (212) 673-1190
An East Village cafe/wine bar paying homage to Armstrong with live jazz solo
piano on Tuesdays, piano trios featured every Wednesday and Thursday, and a
Trombone/bass duo on Sundays. Performances are 9 -11:30.  Pre-recorded jazz
playing all other times.

Do Pat Cooke, Vince Giordano or Dick Broadie know about this? :-) VBG

Many "Dixieland" quartets have Trombone, Clarinet, Bass/Tuba, Guitar/Banjo
lineups. Trombone commonly takes the melodic lead. All you Tboners and reed
players out there have probably been involved numerous times in this type of
situation. From 1990 to 2000 I did it often with Pete Pepke TB and now do it
with Glenn Dodson TB in those situations where the budget rules. TB and CL
trade off on melody. One on the in chorus and the other on the out, etc.

Melody trombone is a gorgeous sound on hundreds of songs.

Cheers,
Steve (The only jazz rule is the BUDGET) Barbone
