[Trombone-l] Fwd: Angie's letter

[Chris Tune]

Incidentally, Fowler hits EVERY note. . .some of them several times. And he 
has been very liberal with glissandi.

His version is vastly more innovative (although the vehicle is really not 
the greatest. . .even Ravel admitted that often!) than the regular "off the 
rack" version that one would be forced to play if hired by a Symphony 
Orchestra (I'm sure the players in almost any orchestra could, each, come up 
with their own, unique interpretation. . but famously orchestras tend to 
want things to be adhered to certain standard approaches).

I personally like doing the Ravel Bolero as if I was the reincarnation of 
Tommy Dorsey.  I try to stay very immaculately glass-like with the sound and 
vibrato ala 1930's 1940's.       I do this because I've read about Ravel's 
reasons for including the trombone solo (He liked the way Tommy Dorsey 
sounded--he was thinking of having this done a la TD--also Diner did it for 
me once that way, and it sounded pretty cool).
