Frank Rosolino and Carl Fontana perform "Wave". Non-released music from the 1978 Vancouver concert. Elmer Gill - piano Torban Oxbol - bass George Ursan - drums
I was privileged to accompany these two greats in their last ever performance together when they were guest artists with the University of Texas at Arlington jazz orchestra . They had just finished their August ‘78 live recording session in Vancouver (Trombone Heaven). Live or studio- it made no difference. These guys were musical phenomenons of nature.

As a trombonist myself I don't know whether to be inspired or depressed by these two wonderful masters. all I know is that I continue to be astounded by their beauty, facility and uniqueness. I met and played with Carl (albeit in the orchestra) and he was the model of humility.

Bryan-- I don't know you but don't ever be "depressed" about these guys. Wherever you play your music you give a gift to those listening. They may never hear these guys!

The Dynamic Duo! Alas, Frank was on his last solo journey that year. Carl would keep the flame burning for awhile thereafter. We miss you guys! Thanks for posting!
