Hey anyone: check out the video of his playing with the Henry Mancini orchestra on The Steve Allen show from around 1982 and the "Theme From Peter Gunn". He makes playing that horn look effortless and fun.

Watrous is a sweet guy, always has been. Anyone who says different is just jealous of his playing. Trust me, many guys are on the ready to put him down as a person and a player and haven't even met him ,much less taken the time to actually sit down and listen to the beauty of his playing.

I think such negative comments about such wonderful players is a travesty. Carl is one of my favorite players too, but to say Andy doesnt swing or that Watrous plays boring licks is just an ignorant statement.

I just recently found out Fontana mentored my jazz director growing up and was a close and dear friend to his family. In addition, this legend was from a town right next to where my father grew up. Incredible, but not nearly as incredible as his playing!!

You can't compare jazz and classical tones. Jazz tone is all about preference, just because it is different doesn't make it wrong or better or worse than other tones. Classical tones are a part of a larger expectation from the public. Everyone emulates the modern model of playing solo lit and orchestral lit. Saying Alessi's can't be compared to Watrous is completely false and completely unrelated. Both of those men have different experiences and idols that they grew up emulating.

@lagooned Hands down, Fontana was the best, even Bill W. would say this. I had the priviledge of playing with both trombonists, as well as Andy Martin in Vegas, and Fontana's jazz licks, tone, and flawless technique is untouched by any other trombonist. Andy's got the tone, but his licks don't swing. Bill has the high notes and is techinically superior, but who wants to listen to his boring licks? just my thoughts, cheers!

@JoNathanRJammin Good sound? Sure, but don't compare it to Alessi by any means. I'm not saying ANYTHING against waltrous but I've probably listened to more music performed by one of those musicians each than you have all of them combined, (so don't think I'm misinformed), but in MY book watrous has an underwhelming superior sound. Sure, he's got a fantastic TONE, but it doesn't make up for what fontana, jj, rosolino, + others like Gordon have in superior CREATIVITY, by far the most important.

I took a semester off from Berklee in the fall of '98 so I could play with Carl every Monday night for 4 months, which I did in Las Vegas at a place called Carollo's (no longer around), and I am a saxophonist! I learned more in those 4 months than I did in 4 years at Berklee. Some great cats from LA just 'showed up' at random just to play with Carl. That's how you learn jazz. That stuff can't be taught in a school. That being said, such opportunities are stupid rare which is too bad.

Carl is not the only trombonist to ever live, there have been plenty that are just as good, but when dicks come and comment saying that he sucks or that hes not as good as X trombone player it takes DRAMATIC comments to get these DRAMATIC people to understand.

@brickitybrax Well you are starting a youtube fight, thats like saying "Oh I dont want to fight, but I am going to punch you in the face". Go figure. Secondly, I was responding to another Ignortant comment from someone who was saying that all trombonists including Carl Fontana were inferior to Elliot Mason I think it was, I dont know!! Dude this comment was written 2 years ago, Ive listened to literally thousands of new musicians since then and I dont even have close to the same views anymore.

i like how watrous hasnt even been mentioned in this thread haha hes the best im my book. he takes jj, fontana, dorsey, green, winding, rosolino (the list goes on) and mixes it with the technique and cleanliness of alessi and all the best. when doing this, he ends up with an overwhelmingly superior sound. it always dissapoints me when i hear someone so missinformed say that jj was and always will be the best...
