Martin Wilson is now and has been for years, principle trombone in the Ulster Orchestra, Belfast. An amazing trombone player. He also plays jazz and sings. What a God given talent!
Just wanted to give credit to this solo, it is the one that first got me to play trombone, I’m currently 4 years in, and I am thankful for this video Edit: Made Allstate for 9th/10th grade, and came back to what led me here in the first place
This is some of the best trombone playing I have ever heard! It's really amazing how fast he can tongue. I can double tongue but this is truly amazing! I hope to be this good one day though it will likely never happen...
@@carson6495 I just started playing again after 2 years this weekend. I stopped to make time to major in jazz bass, but i picked it up as a hobby because i missed it.
Bella C. He was for me and now this seems easy (I've only been playing for one year but I practice every single day like 3-5 hours so this really isn't that fast) I could probably play this at double the speed. I'm sure if you try hard enough you'd get there fast
@@TheStickyKey It doesn't really matter wether or not you can play it fast. What matters is being able to play with great tone and quality etc. Good for you. You can play it fast, but I recommend just focusing on everything else, other than your speed.
@@TheStickyKey stfu I hate when people decide to leave a comment like "lol I can play this and I've only been playing for 2 years" stfu there is no way you could play this if you've only been playing for two years
Back in the late 70's and early 80's,when this video aired, all young British trombonists,including me, were heavily influenced by the great studio player Don Lusher who used slide vibrato extensively.I agree,it now sounds dated and inappropriate and,if I played it played now,would use a more controlled lip vibrato.Styles change..
I prefer the slide vibrato than any other kind of vibrato. I feel like that slide vibrato really brings out the difference of the instrument to the others that have valves. Especially on pieces like czardas which is a piece for the violin. I like to think of the slide as a string on the violin. So I can get more feel of the piece. With this said, the slide vibrato is more my style.
Completely agree re the influence of Don Lusher - I was lucky enough to have him guest with our jazz orchestra when I was in my teens. Talk about being in awe of him - he was so professional and controlled in his playing. But, perhaps being old and old-fashioned myself, I don't think of it of your slide vib as dated. Perhaps classic or retro would be better terms? And I agree with Crary below that it is part of the character of the trombone. A decade later, do you still think of it as 'inappropriate'? Wonderful tone btw, Martin. Thanks for sharing.
I know this is a violin solo, but I havent found a trombone solo that I like of this song except for this one. The guys tone, and musical structure is the best of all the solos I've heard
I've always loved V. Montis' Czardas, I listened to every instrumentalist version of this great piece But, I've never heard the title Czardas pronounced the way the narrator pronounced it at the beginning of the video! I learned how to pronounce it from a friend of my family and his wife! They said it was pronounced "Zardas"
Technically, its double tonguing. Explaining how its done is easy and doing it slow isnt too hard, but getting to a point where you can consistently do it that fast is hard to say the least
It's been like 6 years since I've first listened to this video, and it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly clean every single note is. I strive to be able to play with such clarity in my notes.
Great job Martin! It's so nice to hear Czardas on a low brass instrument I've played low brass for over 20 years on a different instrument though, I play the baritone horn AKA a euphonium. I tried trombone in Jr. High school for a year but the director wanted me back on baritone because a made it sound more like music than the noise coming from the trombone I was playing.
Goddamn 19 years old and that talent holy shit blown away. Am 21 and been playing 5 years and can almost double/triple tongue well. Secret is just practicing the “ta-ka” type tongue sound and just keep at it. Blown away by the absolute pure tone though absolute mastery in the craft
I remember listening to a different performance by Wilson because I wanted to hear Trombone solos but I could not find the video again. Glad I found this though!!! You have increased my admiration for trombone. Beautiful :)
What I'm most impressed with is the double(and triple?) tongueing. Good job. You do the majestic trombone good service. I'm sure you impressed you professors in England with such great talent at such a young age!
Trombone player here, that is absolutely awesome. All around an incredible performance, but for me the outstanding and unique quality you have is your tone colour - so sweet and gorgeous ... and so good in the low register too, that is by far best I've heard, unlike most trombones that have that more harsh chainsaw sound, yours is super smooth and rich - I wonder how you do it! Hope you are still enjoying playing and entertaining audiences!
I remember seeing this several months ago, and being astonished and inspired. Now I'm playing it tomorrow at my school's biggest concert of the year at Hill Auditorium. Thank you so much for posting this, it inspired me to push myself to become a better musician.
Astonishing. I have never seen this before tho I remember the series on TV at the time. Makes it look so damned easy it's almost a crime. Also a reminder of how good the Whitburn Band were even in the early 1980's.

Every single time I listen to this it absolutely mesmerizes me in a way parallel to no other. Truly amazing.
What a beautiful tone! Beautiful playing by Martin Wilson all the way around. I give him 5 stars.
Daaaaamn, he either makes his partners really happy or injures them in some way.
bruh
I played Trombone from 6th grade thru High School...no one knows just how good this is
This is my favorite trombone song, one of my favorite songs of all time.
Best trombone solo ever 😍

Hi
One of the greatest pieces of trombone work I have ever heard.
Excelente trombón, mis respetos maestro.
Maestro Wilson, with slide vibrato and all, the 'voice' is unique and stunningly well played. Bravo!!
2020 e eu assistindo esse vídeo fantástico novamente! É incrível! Quanta técnica!!!
The melancholic entrence is what brings me back every single time.
Well done for ANY age. Very smooth and relaxed. Amazing job, Mr. Wilson!
lol his eyebrows when hes playing fast
oh yeah yeah
if only tommy dorsey could come back down from heaven and play a duet with you
Guys... I believe that I have a Tromboner.

This is the best, super, I love it. congratulations
When I look up “worlds best trombone player” this video always comes up
Bought these duets from Bob some time ago and really like them a lot! Great to use for teaching also.
This is unique. My trombone days are not over yet.
What a great solo keep up the work!
Wow, never saw a trombonist that quality, best trombonist who already got to know!
I have been playing trombone for 2 years and enjoy it
This is truly incredible

The wiggle with his hands is something I learned I kid you not naturally in my 4th year playing trombone.
Wow, What an astounding sound on a small tenor and mouthpiece
I remember listening to a different performance by Wilson because I wanted to hear Trombone solos but I could not find the video again. Glad I found this though!!! You have increased my admiration for trombone. Beautiful :)
are you thinking of his carnival of venice performance?
Yes! I am elated to listen to that performance again! I thought I would never find it again. Thank you so much!!!
