[@tsuggs01]

The Bass trombonist is Barry Cooper.

@Jeff Williams Your house is made of the finest crystal. You should spend more time in the practice room, and less time on RUclips criticizing others! Lightweight.

[@lordbonington]

b133le haha! Just checked again...he’s still poor!

[@b133le]

He's better than you. Amateur! Know your place.

[@b133le]

I hope you aren't related to Roy Williams. He's a class act, and a GREAT trombonist! Go practice! I'm done with you.

@@lordbonington I'm Lead Alto on this. The trombonist is a cancer survivor. You should be ashamed of yourself Mr. Williams for your public statements. One should be more conscious of the complexities of life. Shame. It reflects much more on you, than it does on any of us who have carried on the legacy of Mr. Basie.

I suspect that trombonist would not have lasted too long under Bill Basie. He is 100% Groove Free! a total square baby!! Band plays fine though.
