He''s also an evangelist of his instrument. Heard here in a concert in the Manchester Craftsmen''s Guild in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his World of Trombones numbers 12 trombonists (4 play bass trombone) in addition to Hampton and featured soloist Bill Watrous. What''s more striking than sheer numbers, though, is the orchestral quality of the massed horns, the extraordinarily warm, clear, carpet of sound that Hampton develops in his arrangements. There''s tremendous variety here, too, from the lushly lyrical backdrop that he creates on Billy Strayhorn''s "A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing" to the secure swing of Lester Young''s "Lester Leaps In." Hampton''s "Tribute Suite" even challenges the trombonists with Coltrane''s "Moment''s Notice," and their articulation and intonation survive. Ultimately, it''s not the novelty of the trombones that you notice, but the quality of Hampton''s results. --Stuart Broomer If You Enjoy "Spirit of the Horn (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Spirit of the Horn (CD)" by Slide Hampton & The World Of T...There are no customer reviews yet.
