this is what I played at state finals in Indiana back when I was 15, 25 years ago, first place as well. I have no idea how they let me through when I didn't even have a piano accompaniment my first audition.
Brett is probably one of the most natural trombone players in existence, but this is also his Achilles heel,since he plays too aggresively whether he know's it or not !
I love this piece. I have it now with a piano accompaniment. A little bit too much articulation and staccato notes, but the legato part (moderato section) is so soft and sweet. The staccato parts really brings out this beautiful section. The F minor chord compression brings out a new feeling. The ending of this simply takes away the soul. This was played excellently.
Not even close to out of his league, I’ve played this exact piece myself enough to know it’s full of written pedal notes and ad libs, he did a wonderful job
You're a fine player, but I urge you to take a step back listen to what's coming out of the other end of the horn. Even further than that; the choices of approach and musical liberties. Like the pedal F at the end of variation 2. Hollywood would pay a lot of money to have that in one of their movies. But here, it's out of context. What stuck with me for variation 2 wasn't technical mastery, it was SPLAAAT. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. And the finale was too fast for you. The violence of the "T-K" double tongue technique almost eliminated your tone production. Move toward a "D-G" double tongue to keep the air flow from being interrupted. Your audience isn't always a bunch of trombonists that know what Annie Laurie is supposed to sound like. You're too damn good to give flashy speed priority over good fundamental musicality.
I can not understand your critic. Come on! This is an show-off piece. For me it is fun to hear this nice pedal tones, I would be lucky if I could reproduce these under stage conditions. Even I do not feel that the last variation is too fast because the articulation is quite well. Regarding speed the original recording of Blue Bells of Scotland from Arthur Pryor himself is coming to my mind (can also be found at YT). He already played the first variation at high speed. Nevertheless it's a matter of taste.
Clearly not listening to the same piece as I. Dr Brett is one the premier trombone artists in the world, an associate of the Royal College of music, an educator, at Salford University with over 111 pieces in his solo repertoire, a previous young musician of the year finalist, previous principal trombone of National Youth Orchestra, previous winner of national solo competition of Great Britain, in demand as a soloist, educator and conductor internationally. He is a consummate professional who knows his craft. I have always felt his performances were controlled and disciplined, but this time he let go with the clear remit to entertain and boy did his audience enjoy that! Absolutely brilliant, in terms of range and dynamic and technique. A real bonus to hear Brett play so freely and still with the sort of controlled technique that most could never manage in a lifetime. More please. Simply the best from the best.
somehow I just don't believe Hollywood would pay that much for a good trombone player. I played this at 15 and won first at state and never had anyone offer me a job lol. I do agree that he seems to be prioritizing tempo and speed over being melodic with the sound but I can't entirely blame him when he's playing with a band.
I met Brett a couple of years ago and he is a top bloke. Gave a masterclass after he did a joint concert with us and learnt a lot!

A Great Performance by the Soloist, and the entire Band ! Bravissimo !
Words cannot express! Thank You.
superb!
How wonderful play! Thanks for sharing.
you play beautiful!!!! Great performance!!! Awesome!!!!
Absolutely incredible I would be so honored to meet Brett some day!
wonderful!! Shame that last note didnt quite come through :-) just about heard it.. thumbs up to you!!
"Black Dyke" whewwwww ... thats a crazy name
This Performance shows that the Trombone Sound is just like a Human Voice, in the Hands of a Real Good Trombonist, Well done Brett, Thank You ! :)

have you ever considered getting a really bizarre version arranged for brass quintet Brett? nicely done BTW.... Jimmy the Lip x
Firster class it doesn't get!
You can try Black Squirrel Music or Alum Creek Music
Нормально так, нормально...
Does anyone know which arrangement this is?
Pedal notes? Why? And why play the final variation so fast, as it was obviously out of your comfort zone?
Why not. He was entertaining. Read his bio. See what he is really capable of. He is the master of his instrument. The audience was in raptures!
Not even close to out of his league, I’ve played this exact piece myself enough to know it’s full of written pedal notes and ad libs, he did a wonderful job
Knock out playing, full of swag! But why do brass band players still dress like lion tamers in a old fashioned circus??@!!
Why are Americans so fat and ignorant?
