Duke Ellington & His Orch. - Blue Cellophane (trombone: Lawrence Brown) [Jan. 4, 1945]

Simply beautiful

So hard to play but once you get it ugh 👌

who's the idiot that disliked precious music like this

one of my favorite trombone based jazz pieces

Just got this today in my jazz band. Awesome song. Super nervous, but looking forward to my solo.

The most gorgeous trombone sound never less than perfect as usual for Lawrence Brown. In the 1920's in California he could play staccato notes like a machine gun. Nobody could match the sophistication of his legato. Lovely, beautiful tone.

My high schools top Band is playing this song, and the guy we've got playing the t-bone "solo" is literally the God of high school trombone

My desert island trombonist!

I wonder what Jack Teagarden thought of this performance?

Loved listening to him since the 50s, watch him at the Colston Hall,Bristol,beautiful player.

Epic

i wonder if Claude Bolling has done this

I will steal Noras solo for this song because I’m way too good at trumpet and then get a G in band by JU

Удивительно нежная и лёгкая мелоди.
