This is probably the cleanest recording I have ever heard. All notes in all registers have the same energy and tone qualities. Not a single note was sacrificed for volume. Very well done!

While Euph was my major instrument, they don't use them in jazz...so I always played bone for that. I was nowhere near as talented on trombone so I "accidentally" got to play bass trombone for a couple semesters of jazz lab. BEST ACCIDENT EVER! When you want pretty....Euph is awesome...when you want to aggressively slap someone in the face with a low note....nothing beats bass trombone! No other instrument has made me WANT to pass out for lack of lung capacity! \oo/ \oo/
