[Trombone-l] Woody Herman V ideo

[Denny Seifried]

Price---If you take a close look at the brand of bass trombone, you will see 
that is an old Olds tuninging-in-slide dependant bass trombone, which Vaughn 
still has in his possession, today. Harold Garrett, at that time period was 
playing on a King Duo-Gravis, if  I remember correctly and I do not believe 
Harold wore glasses, as does the bass trombone player in this video, which 
Vaugh, did at that particular time in his life, as he does in 2007. I am 
guessing at the other two players; but, that is no guess at who is in the 
bass bone chair!

I watched it a second time----that is Vaughn Wiester on bass bone----I'll 
bet my Elkhart 62H on it!
