[@TracksWithDax]

Ido Meshulam is a straight up powerhouse!! I've never heard someone who plays EXCLUSIVELY tasteful at every given moment

[@pavlenkotrombone]

Yeah, he is so extremely expressive

[@pavlenkotrombone]

Incredible bone group 🎉 Wow!!! Best wishes for all Big Band members!!! Great Job 👏

[@srconrad]

Nice! Not too many trombone sections can solo that well from top to bottom. Fantastic.

[@gispel7058]

Hard to tell who the lead trombone is. Course the bass is a no brainer.

[@TomW2034]

Wow -had to rewind it was so good. Great to see Wayne B in the trumpets; The trombones were awesome. Will rewind again to admire Bill R.'s bass bone solo.

[@dugsdale]

I am newly aghast at the trombonology AND the writing every time I listen to this. WHEWW!!

[@duncanmeech4731]

wow nice. Manhattan Wildlife Refuge lives!

[@eulman09]

Delightful and surprising music making and story telling. Each virtuoso brought their unique voice to the composition and went way beyond playing impressive licks. This has got to be the new standard for featuring a phenominal trombone section. Unsure sure if other pro bands could deliver such an outstanding performance but damn wouldn’t it be a treat to hear many of them give this fine chart a go.
