Martin Wilson is now and has been for years, principle trombone in the Ulster Orchestra, Belfast. An amazing trombone player. He also plays jazz and sings. What a God given talent!
This is some of the best trombone playing I have ever heard! It's really amazing how fast he can tongue. I can double tongue but this is truly amazing! I hope to be this good one day though it will likely never happen...
Back in the late 70's and early 80's,when this video aired, all young British trombonists,including me, were heavily influenced by the great studio player Don Lusher who used slide vibrato extensively.I agree,it now sounds dated and inappropriate and,if I played it played now,would use a more controlled lip vibrato.Styles change..
I prefer the slide vibrato than any other kind of vibrato. I feel like that slide vibrato really brings out the difference of the instrument to the others that have valves. Especially on pieces like czardas which is a piece for the violin. I like to think of the slide as a string on the violin. So I can get more feel of the piece. With this said, the slide vibrato is more my style.
Completely agree re the influence of Don Lusher - I was lucky enough to have him guest with our jazz orchestra when I was in my teens. Talk about being in awe of him - he was so professional and controlled in his playing. But, perhaps being old and old-fashioned myself, I don't think of it of your slide vib as dated. Perhaps classic or retro would be better terms? And I agree with Crary below that it is part of the character of the trombone. A decade later, do you still think of it as 'inappropriate'? Wonderful tone btw, Martin. Thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to give credit to this solo, it is the one that first got me to play trombone, I’m currently 4 years in, and I am thankful for this video Edit: Made Allstate for 9th/10th grade, and came back to what led me here in the first place
@@carson6495 I just started playing again after 2 years this weekend. I stopped to make time to major in jazz bass, but i picked it up as a hobby because i missed it.
Bella C. He was for me and now this seems easy (I've only been playing for one year but I practice every single day like 3-5 hours so this really isn't that fast) I could probably play this at double the speed. I'm sure if you try hard enough you'd get there fast
@@TheStickyKey It doesn't really matter wether or not you can play it fast. What matters is being able to play with great tone and quality etc. Good for you. You can play it fast, but I recommend just focusing on everything else, other than your speed.
@@TheStickyKey stfu I hate when people decide to leave a comment like "lol I can play this and I've only been playing for 2 years" stfu there is no way you could play this if you've only been playing for two years
I know this is a violin solo, but I havent found a trombone solo that I like of this song except for this one. The guys tone, and musical structure is the best of all the solos I've heard
Technically, its double tonguing. Explaining how its done is easy and doing it slow isnt too hard, but getting to a point where you can consistently do it that fast is hard to say the least
Great job Martin! It's so nice to hear Czardas on a low brass instrument I've played low brass for over 20 years on a different instrument though, I play the baritone horn AKA a euphonium. I tried trombone in Jr. High school for a year but the director wanted me back on baritone because a made it sound more like music than the noise coming from the trombone I was playing.
I remember listening to a different performance by Wilson because I wanted to hear Trombone solos but I could not find the video again. Glad I found this though!!! You have increased my admiration for trombone. Beautiful :)
I've always loved V. Montis' Czardas, I listened to every instrumentalist version of this great piece But, I've never heard the title Czardas pronounced the way the narrator pronounced it at the beginning of the video! I learned how to pronounce it from a friend of my family and his wife! They said it was pronounced "Zardas"
It's been like 6 years since I've first listened to this video, and it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly clean every single note is. I strive to be able to play with such clarity in my notes.
Trombone player here, that is absolutely awesome. All around an incredible performance, but for me the outstanding and unique quality you have is your tone colour - so sweet and gorgeous ... and so good in the low register too, that is by far best I've heard, unlike most trombones that have that more harsh chainsaw sound, yours is super smooth and rich - I wonder how you do it! Hope you are still enjoying playing and entertaining audiences!
I remember seeing this several months ago, and being astonished and inspired. Now I'm playing it tomorrow at my school's biggest concert of the year at Hill Auditorium. Thank you so much for posting this, it inspired me to push myself to become a better musician.
Goddamn 19 years old and that talent holy shit blown away. Am 21 and been playing 5 years and can almost double/triple tongue well. Secret is just practicing the “ta-ka” type tongue sound and just keep at it. Blown away by the absolute pure tone though absolute mastery in the craft
My personal preference is that I think this would have been better played slightly slower and with more accuracy in the notes. The listener gets the general idea of what the notes are, but there's a lot of "near enough" alternate positions in use that I think detracts from the performance.
What I'm most impressed with is the double(and triple?) tongueing. Good job. You do the majestic trombone good service. I'm sure you impressed you professors in England with such great talent at such a young age!
"However, tonight, keeping relatively stable throughout..." lol I love this guy's tone. Nice and dark. And his technique is uber, but his performance seems a bit... emotionless. Dunno. I think I like Lindberg's version better, even if it is a bit sloppy (not that I can do any better).
Out standing trombone solo, certianly from the late great Don Lusher style of playing , you were born 40 years to late the british big band scene could have been doing with you ,their loss certainly someone elses gain.

i give great head. might get into trombone then
@@Abigart69 damn
Is he playing on an alto trombone, or is it a tenor?
@@gliptodonte_ tenor
What he hell thats like quadruple quadruple tonguing
Frank Rosolino and Martin Wilson are the only trombonists I know in history that could play like that.

"Quadruple Quadruple" tonguing doesn't exist, just really fast double tonguing and triple tonguing :)

Did you find it?

One of the greatest pieces of trombone work I have ever heard.
How do you even...
triple tonguing super freaking fast
Joe Noble double tongueing bro
Joe Phillips triple tonguing bro
Quadruple tonguing bro
say "tig guh dee" 3x fast and practice until you pick up the muscle memory.
Even long time this sound magnificent but now listening to it as trombonist astonished me
813.764 people listened this with their left ear. Pls upload your video with default sound settings.(if its possible) xD
This is unique. My trombone days are not over yet.

Well done for ANY age. Very smooth and relaxed. Amazing job, Mr. Wilson!
Check Mnozil Brass hungarian schnaspsodie trombone solo insane! :)
But this guy has a much better trombone sound . Zoltan Kiss is not bad ,but his sound is not so good ;)
Marvin Bloch I think Zoltans' sound is better, because it is brighter, I mean for me though. His is good too, but dark. Well both are pretty good
Wow. Triple tonguing. I can't even do all that. I salute you bro. Well done!
"Alejandro" at 1:44!
Wow, What an astounding sound on a small tenor and mouthpiece
where do I find myself a guy like this
Macy Turner yes!! I would like to place an order for one hot talented trombonist please

If you can double tongue fast enough it isn't that insane.
