    I had the extreme pleasure of playing on the same stage as this legendary man. A generational talent and total wonderful person.

    I played this in World Youth Orchestra in the 70's. The night before the concert we were out having dinner, and I got up to leave, in advance of the group, to spend some quiet time reflecting upon what...'risks' I might take with my solo. The principle oboist, with whom I been struggling to flirt despite language problems, asked me where I was going. I said I was going to work on my solo, and she said, 'what solo?' I said Bolero of course, and she said, "There's a trombone solo in Bolero?'
    I first thought it was a joke, then a language problem, but it wasn't. Indeed, most of the young principle woodwind and string players, for whom soloing was a daily affair, had never made, or factored an independently advised (by account of its technical challenge and consequence) or consideration of trombonist's 'learned' anxiety over a simple...throw-away...'statement of the theme'. In fact, most did not even account it 'as' a 'solo' as such for what little ensemble consequence it had.
    It was on that occasion that I was...'schooled' anew, to receive the greatest gift of contextual reorientation a teenage trombonist could ever hope for. I only ever played it once again, but I never lost any sleep over it after that fortuitous moment. If you want to win peels of laughter from other orchestral principles, talk to them about the 2nd trombone 'solo' in Scheherazade. LOL! I left Aspen the year prior to my first stint in WYO because we spent 2 hours talking about it.
    This acculturated 'low' brass-esteem (pun intended) is why first trombonists are generally called principles rather than soloist!

      ​@@Soda19He has that in every video, that is because he has played a lot basically every day for way too many years. That's how you know someone's a pro.

    Yes. It's much easier to keep accurate tempo while playing (or, in my case, recording an arrangement of) Bolero in 6/4 rather than 3/4 time.

    Not really sure why he had a glissando to Ab at 1:18-1:19?

    first thing he ask for something is tempo.... and there is no fucking tempo on his interpretation, nice teacher.
