[Dixielandjazz] Greatest Trombone Solo

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

Respectfully, I shall disagree: the *best* solo is the one that is
being played for you there live, right there, in the moment, and it
does not matter how blisteringly brilliant or how bad, all that
matters is that it means the tradition still lives, that it still
excites people to *want* to play it.

and *that* is indeed something precious
