It's sad that this is probably as close as we will get to perfection

Совершенство не существует в настоящей жизни

I agree with you! Also Ralph Sauer’s sound is right up there with Jay’s, for me anyway.

He’s might be an amazing trombonist under the Reiner and Scholti era, but I’m his daughter and I absolutely love his playing ❤️ but as a human…..

​@@Ntclarinet2 btw .. that's Lovely to hear and I'm a professional singer who would Love to get a lesson with Mr. Friedman..

​@@Ntclarinet2 would he possibly ever do a lesson via something like Skype or phone call maybe? I could pay him via Cash App. maybe.. I just don't know if it ever works that way

Best comment.

I used to listen to them at Ravinia. It was like a classical rock concert.

What do think was the most useful thing you learned?

@@mikesuss9513 I had a private lesson with him once-he stressed a method of articulation where the only point of pressure in the face is on the embouchure, and the release of air drove the production of sound rather than forceful articulation if I recall correctly. Should be an effortless feeling. It’s been many years and I don’t know if I still have the notes but what an experience to have had I came to his own house and stayed for an hour or two and played in his living room

I'll always cherish my times working with him at Roosevelt and hearing him - and everyone else - in the CSO so many times.

@@vcube1234I had one lesson with him and yes this is what I remember, as well as I asked to hear his buzz and it was so supple and soft like a dove

I’m sorry, but Jay Friedman is one of the most respected trombonists in the world. He’s very appropriately rated according to how ability and achievement.

​@@tromboneman4517 I watch a lot of videos and I read a LOT of comments And I never hear a top trombone player say ANYTHING about Jay Friedman *NOT ONCE*; His name never even comes up. Yeah you will hear comments about Jay in a video like this, Sure!! I'm asserting that he's The Best Ever... SOOO from MY standpoint he's way underrated. Not only that but you will hear a lot of BS about how JF can't play loud. There's proof positives ALL OVER KZfaq where he sounds spectacular playing loud. There's an interview with Charlie Vernon in which the interviewer asserts that Joe Alessi is CLEARLY the Best Principal Trombone player in the World.... And I'm thinkin "Hey, Charlie, Say SOMETHING about Jay Friedman!!" *nothing* Do we really need to hear another uncontested crowning of Joe Alessi?? So this is me Contesting that assertion. I want to flipping hear people say that Jay Friedman is That Guy... because he really is... The only guy who I hear consistently telling people who Jay Friedman REALLY IS?? Gene Pokorny Chicago's Great Tuba Player I think that there is a great deal of JEALOUSY and REVISIONISM as it applies to Jay Friedman's Reputation. In truth, Jay Friedman is an absolute COLOSSUS

Oh look, another American who thinks America = the world.

​@@explodingsausage6576Chicago is the world America is just a suburb

The last one is Wagner, not Mahler, but yes is still amazing.

@@snojetsst9420 no it’s Mahler?

@@Aduysvmncmkouyf 43:13 is an except from the opening of Act III of Die Walküre, an opera by Richard Wagner,

this is the current low-brass section of the CSO!!! Principal is Jay, asst. is Mulcahy and bass is Charlie Vernon; all the same players in this video!!!!.

Yes, its so soft and flexible both sound and phrasing. It seems like plays on a Bach in this recording. Do you know the spesifications?

Make a glass of wine be enough! You wouldn't want your ears to smoke. (In Italy we use to say that ears smoke when you are being made fun of)

It really shows what incredible musicians they both are, to be able to so seamlessly switch roles within their ensemble.

Probably also to not burn his face out.

Mike’s sound seems better as the lead line than Jay’s. You have to be experienced in brass ensembles to know it’s not a matter of being the best player, but creating the synergy.

“Listen” - that’s what separates the men from the boys (as they used to say) or if you prefer, the sheep from the goats (another old expression)

I love my Bach bass trombone!

True didn’t even think to appreciate how beautiful this sounds

Not to be disrespectful, but can we tell by Charlie Vernon’s hair? Whenever it was - truly as good as it gets! People who are used to playing together like this can really make amazing music.

It was recorded in Japan

I studied from Mr Vernon 1992/93 and this must be before that.

looks likely this was on their April, 1990 tour while in Japan

I would like to know myself. Btw, I'm quiet sure that Jay is playing on a large bore, due to the size of the bell and slide. My bet is Bach 42 with gold brass bell and nickel silver slide. .

They are playing standard orchestral excerpts. You can find them anywhere.

@@snojetsst9420 In the end, yes. But what about the reportoire they play before the orchestral excerpts?

The first selections are from "Four Transcriptions" by Osborn. The Pachelbell, Rheinburger, another Pachelbell chorale prelude and the St. Anthony chorale. I think the Let Me Weep is from a collection by Allen Ostrander.

Yellow bell, light - unlacquered tuning slide - LT50 slide

I'm guessing great orchestral trombone players who usually never get to show us how great they really are .. because they are not typically playing first trombone parts ..

@@rickdynes Historically speaking, every great low brass section has an exceptional 2nd trombonist in the middle of it. It almost doesn’t matter how great (or especially famous) the other components of the section are- if a low brass section doesn’t have a 2nd player with a great sound that fills the gap between the more brilliant sounding principal and the bigger, warmer, more resonant bass, great ears and great musical instincts in the middle of it, it just won’t ever sound truly great.

I think it’s let me weep by Handel

@@johnnyquest9519 from Rinaldo

@@MrMalwade correct. From Rinaldo by Handel 💪🏼💪🏼
