Man, his passing has hit me harder than some of my own family members passing. I'm glad Paul had this opportunity and experience with Bill. I'll always remember our own personal time together playing jazz standards for 3 hours at his home, many years ago. RIP Bill Watrous. I guess now was your time to go.

I will never forget walking into the exhibit hall in San Antonio, at the IAJE convention and seeing Bill across the way. I told my wife “hey, that’s Bill Watrous”. We walked over and he was doodling on the trombone. He noticed me, stopped, turned to me, shook my hand and said “hey babe'!” as if he had known me all his life. Very genuine and humble man he was.

Bill was a genius. Totally unique. Probably the greatest trombone player who ever lived.

Thanks for the great video Paul. I had the honor of meeting Bill twice in El Paso, TX, when I played lead trombone in the UTEP jazz band. Great human being, who really redefined the way a trombone is played. I’ll never forget having a conversation with him where he told me that in order to prepare for a gig he would practice 12 to 16 hours per day. He was a workaholic who loved his craft, and would outwork his competition.

Paul, Thank you for going to the trouble of videoing Bill. I studied with Bill from 1977 - 1981 while attending CSUN. the warm up and embouchure exercises are ones we did sitting opposite each other at his house during the first part of the lesson. By doing this warm up (low pressure) it focused my chops, extended and solidified my range both up and down. I talked to Maryann a few months ago and she is well. We all miss Bill.

In college for a jazz festival had the absolute pleasure of playing with Mr watrous as he was our guest musician. Was a thrill and an honor. And what made it better was the fact that he actually flirted and hit on my then girlfriend who was my 3rd chair bone (I was lead horn) hahahaha to this day, that was the coolest thing ever!! Hahaha rip Bill!

Hi Paul, I note your video is over 4 years old (its now July 2020) Interesting about the visitation. Both my parents had visitations. My father dismissed them as himself going crazy even though they were incredibly real for him. My mother (at 95 and a half) on the afternoon of her dying was visited by my favorite cousin who had died a week before. I don't think my mother knew of my cousins death. I couldn't see who my mother was talking to but she was very happy. I still have no beliefs about after life but maybe we are all visitors to this space-time dimension. I don't have any faith but I pray for things and they happen even when I have just been joking. Very odd.

@scottm4042 2 жыл бұрын

You wrote your comment about afterlife, and visitation about a year ago, and that you lacked faith. I would like to suggest a KZfaq channel called "Give Me An Answer", with Cliffe Knechtle. He helps people to consider first to follow the evidence wherever it points. He gives evidence to consider that there is a God. After a person gets there, he then gives evidence that the Gospels are historically reliable accounts of Jesus, how He lived (without sin), what He taught, how He died (forgiving His enemies), and that He rose from the dead. And that we can know God. His format is on college campuses where student ask him questions, and he gives answers, and they have a discussion about the topic. May God give you understanding as you seek to know truth about God.

I loved his “testimony “ at the end . However, he never addressed your question regarding his incredible breath control. Did he ever answer this question?

@nicburrier1381 Жыл бұрын

I believe his answer came in the form of his story. The point of his story was that his incredible breath control came as a gift from God. The point being that even after his lungs were affected, he was still able to go right back to playing.

Anyone know of a transcription of Bill's warmup ideas? I may try to put one together on paper, that there's good stuff...!

@sugerbearnellie04 6 жыл бұрын

Paul, Bill briefly refers to warming up on his mouthpiece in the car on the way to the gig due to lack of time. I'm playing Sackbut with a group of Renaissance string & recorder players. They don't want to hear me do a 5 minute warmup. I need the warmup though,, so I can play on the soft side, with a good tone. Just playing a mouthpiece is messy! I remember a million years ago in college there was a guy who had a piece of tubing or something, still messy with all the saliva. Could this be a topic to discuss? Some trombonists might have invented something that works well for the car warmup.
