[Dixielandjazz] For the Bones out there.

[Mike]

There are many good trombonists out there that are really good 
players; Steve Turre, Wycliffe Gordon, Bob Havens, Dan Barret, 
George Masso and many others.

I really get irritated when people slam other trombonists 
because they don't do what Teagarden did or sound like him.

Teagarden is one of my favorite trombonists, but I'm not going 
to sit here and say that he was the absolute best because you 
cannot compare contrasting styles of playing.

It's like the old J.J versus Frank Rosolino argument. Two 
different players, two different styles.

I agree technique could be better with some players but as long 
as they have something to say and the ability to say it that's 
all that matters to me.
