[Trombone-l] Great music by John Welch

[Eliezer Aharoni]

Just foun on YouTube some great trombone quartet music:

Sanibel Sojourn - Trombone Quartet - Bossa Nova

Jon Welch Bone Zone. The catchy bossa tune is contrasted by a salsa interlude which features a jazz solo for trombone 2 over a salsa montuno accompaniment.

Festival - Trombone Quartet - Latin Funk

This is a modern jazz-oriented trombone quartet performed by the Jon Welch Bone Zone. You never knew 7/8 time could swing so much! This latin composition switches back and forth between 7/8 and 4/4 time during the head and the interludes are built around funky licks in the bass trombone. The section sound is full despite the odd meter and the bass trombone has a big, challenging feature when the interlude material is developed before the final chorus. The melodies are fairly distributed among the four players throughout and 7/8 can really swing!
