2 of my mentors. Glad we have their recordings. Listen to those lines over the chords-great stuff! And talk about range, nobody played those upper notes like Bill. I've been a fan of both players for years. Both set a very high bar that may not be reached. Thanks for posting.
Thank you, NoMoney. I'll keep an eye out. I played trombone for many years (college, military, local symph & big band). I think these guys are the absolute pinnacle of the trombone art. I can't see how anyone could improve on their playing ... only aspire to it.

To be a giant of jazz like Watrous and hear Fontana bebop you into the ground must be rough.....

You need to post the entire album for jazz trombone history's sake.
