There has never been a another trombone player like Urbie Green. His playing inspired me when I was starting out and still inspires me today as I'm sure it does for so many others. Thanks Urbie for showing us the right way...the musical way!!!
Man, I was in high school when this album came out. Awesome stuff. Thanks for posting this video about a classic trombone/jazz album and a great artist.
For everyone interested, you can find the full documentary and extended interviews + the concert in Rotterdam (with Bart van Lier, Jiggs Whigham, Nils Wogram and Mark Nightingale playing some of the Urbie parts and some new pieces inspired by 21 trombones) on the website of the (Dutch) New Trombone Collective.
Does anybody know what this documentary is called or where I can find it on the internet? This looks like one of the coolest documentaries about trombone out there/
