[Dixielandjazz] Greatest Trombone Solo

[Marek Boym]

Both Bob and I stated it was subjective, and you cannot judge or evaluate
subjective feelings using objective terms.  I don't know what makes "the
best," I do know that, to me, that certain solo sounds better than others.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Besides, de gustibus non disputandum est (somethin like different strokes,
except taht in Latin it explicitly  refers to taste).
Cheer up, Steve, and don't try to be scientific about music, which is
mainly about feeling!
Cheers
