[Trombone-l] Jazz Cimbasso

[Eliezer Aharoni]

The "guy from the WDR Big Band in Cologne playing jazz  cimbasso" is Mattis 
Cedeberg, one of Europe's most prominent bass trombonist.
He  participated in the original Brecker Brothers' recording of "Some Skunk 
Funk" (2003). He also played with Joe Zavinul, McCoy Turner,
Slide Hampton, John Faddis, Maria Schneider and Lee Konitz.. He has also 
released 2 CDs in electro-psychedelic jazz with
"Sonic Metachronic Arkestra" -  a  seven-piece band: "Metachronicon" and 
"Overunity".
The Cimbasso recording is a ballad version of "I Cover the Waterfront" 
played very much in George Roberts' style, very expressive with
very rich and singing style.

The info is included in my forthcoming book "The Non-Classic bass trombone", 
containing studies in jazz & jazz related style, text describing the
 development of the bass trombone in these styles, and two playback/solodemo 
CD's played by Micha Davis, bass trombonist of Israel
Philharmonic.
