Max Seigel's Solo
from the album "Bluebird"
transcribed by Josh Gentile
ALBUM LINER NOTES:
We like low notes. We like Johnny Cash, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, those voluptuous baritones that rattled our hi-fi sets, those vibrations of somewhere between 40 to 200 per second, not too low and not too high, the ones you can feel in your chest and in your toes, that's the sweet spot. Curious, then, that in jazz we've got so many crooners sitting in this section of the frequency spectrum but, save our illustrious baritone saxophonists and bassists, so few instrumentalists willing to step out into the spotlight.
Although the bass trombone is largely unknown to the general public, it can be found in nearly every symphony orchestra, every movie soundtrack, and every big band. It's been around for centuries in different shapes and sizes but achieved its modern form after World War II: the same basic length as the tenor trombone, with a larger bore and two added valves which allow it to descend chromatically all the way down to the bottom of the piano. In the 50s and 60s, 1st call studio ace George Roberts made some of the only jazz LPs to feature the instrument in a starring role.
Which brings us to Max Seigel, handling the 6lbs and 16 feet of brass tubing with ease, 4 octaves of buzz, boldly presenting the bass trombone as a seriously bad ass bebop machine. Not content to sit in the fabulous trombone sections of big bands as varied as Roy Hargrove, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and Michael Bublé, on Bluebird, Max puts his big low horn front and center. No need to turn up the bass, he's got that covered, and use headphones if you like, but prepare yourself to luxuriate in the glorious register of his swinging bass trombone. - Jacob Garchik (5/7/2020)

Staccato pedal Eb, Pedal Eb on the run, and a passable trill double Eb. This is impressive on so many fronts. You can hear this and appreciate it but it's a whole different thing transcribed. Thank you.
More Max pls!
I’ll keep that in mind!
ZAMNNNNNNNNNNN I play Bass T-bone in jazz and I've never, EVER heard someone fully express themselves on bass trombone in a solo. Makes me feel GREAT that stuff like this exists!! 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
Edit: you can get way more impressive, but no one tries to very hard it seems. That's what I like about this solo)
Bass trombone is perfect for jazz. Nice play
Great stuff!
Beast mode!😮
Incredible!
Max is a total legend and a super amazing player.
Where can I get this transcription?

Holy Crap Batman! What a solo! What a transcription! Do you have a place where I can buy PDFs of your transcriptions?
I currently do not. I have been thinking about it, although you’re the first to ask. I need to complete a few more on my list and then I’ll consider putting up some bundles of transcriptions for sale. Like a bass trombone bundle or a Curtis Fuller bundle. Thanks for the kind words.
@@bush_boi_bass_bonei’d be interested for sure, your videos have been a great resource for me
