[Trombone-l] Alice, Where Art Thou

[mahler427@aol.com]

Not bad playing at all. In fact, the site contains quite a few recordings  of 
Leo Zimmerman that I think some people might enjoy. For anyone who may not be 
 familiar with who Leo Zimmerman was, here's some info.
 
Leo Zimmerman was the trombone soloist  with John Philip Sousa's Band  after 
Arthur Pryor left the group. Zimmerman served as Sousa's first chair man  and 
trombone soloist from 1904-07 and also returned to the band for a brief  stint 
in 1930-31. One Interesting fact about Leo Zimmerman is  that he played with 
no vibrato, which would have been in stark contrast to  the trombone playing 
of Pryor. Arthur himself said that his vibrato was the  result of a mule 
kicking him in the jaw when he was growing up in St.  Joseph Missouri.He said that 
after that happened, he could never turn it  off.
 
Anyone else have that same problem?
