[Dixielandjazz] It is the player, not the instrument - was trombones

[Mike]

Precisely. Glissandos on trombone and slide ups and down to a note are a 
n important part to the tailgate trombone(as well as early jazz) 
language. It's just on of those things when used properly can really add 
the music.




Oh my yes, Dave. You nailed that thread shut. Makes no difference what
