one of the cleanest trombone solos i’ve ever heard

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

Clean in intention and delivery!

[@danparker8254]

You should hear his dad Bill.

[@bassboneful]

Every solo of him is like a finished classical painting.

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

Agreed. He never seems to play a bad solo. If you like JA, keep an eye out for next Friday's upload!

[@tromboneJTS]

Bass was great, too. John Allred is the master of tone, technique, range and inventive improvisation. Never short on ideas. Always sweet and tasteful.

[@robertgilbert5686]

John Allred is a master musician!

[@caseybavera5846]

John Allred sounds good with everything!!

[@johndowson7929]

Or anything 😊

[@sinatrabone]

He’s the first jazz trombonist I was introduced to, and still is my favorite all these years later, despite now knowing many other greats! He’s always been someone I aspire to play like.

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

I discovered him fairly late, but he's one of my favourite now too. He doesn't ever seem to play a bad solo.

Been admiring this solo for months. Thanks for the transcription... This will help me to learn it.

[@ulisses_nicolau_barros]

Pure creativity, musicality and beauty.

[@jordanjacques8463]

I always know when it's John. John is such a great player

[@alexboche1349]

Wow this was top notch!

[@karlronan7244]

Just listened to it yet again. Oh! The joy in that solo!

[@TracksWithDax]

Man, so tasteful! Allred has a sound worth chasing after

[@mjvielle]

insert doctoral dissertation on the textures that allow for such gRoOvineSS.. the brushwork w banjo hitting hard and punchy trombone luv it!!

[@jdissinger54]

John is just a complete titan - no one does it better

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

I've heard an un-melodic solo yet!

[@jdissinger54]

@@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions and we never will lol a true master

[@mikejohnson6172]

Trombone & Banjo have always gone well together & this is a fantastic example of that.

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

I agree!

[@karlronan7244]

Great solo!!!

[@jorymil]

Louis had trombone and banjo in his bands, so not unheard-of. It's a very period sound.

[@sillyguy459]

ABA DABA HONEY MOOOOON🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

[@jordankleintrombone]

Love John Allred

[@sessaniello]

Beautiful

[@eulman09]

YES!

[@davinnicode]

Gimme those triplets!

[@danparker8254]

Allred played Dixie every night at Orlando Rosie O’Grady’s with his father Bill (also a master).

[@jackyerkess8436]

Can you do ‘Them There Eyes’ which he also did on this gig

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

I'll check it out!

[@johndowson7929]

Great slideman , the trombone and banjo is far from new as in playing together , there is a good bass player. John is a defo a master player and sound just as good even with no accompanying musicians

[@jmzt3187]

Anyone mistake him for James Morrison 😅

[@kittendkat5100]

I guess I could see that

[@quinnparker6111]

Hot diggity dog!!

[@flyingdics1]

Great playing on what may be the dumbest standard of them all!

[@johnmcilroy6874]

Ed Ullman. The big difference is, in my opinion, John Allred can blow James Morrison out of the room.

[@gfexc]

Stop!

[@BobSmith-rx9mw]

I thought that was John Allred!

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

Unmistakable!

[@ddawgdmitri]

It doesn't really tho does it
