Obviously WIlliam Watrous is not only one of the most competent Tbne player of the last 40 years but also a humble chap who will play and help other to play! Although this is obviously not the best setting and best sound for Maestro Watrous who nonetheless remains as always SENSATIONAL Bruno Pierre Gebarski Hamburg Germany

Gosh, you can hardly hear him cause of the other crap. But billy is still the man. I don't think anyone can compare to him except Frank Rosolino who is my favorite by the way.

PLayed a show with him as guest artist in 1975 at FSU-ws a perfect gentleman-blew everybody away--Kim Richmond, DOn Ellis also guest. One hell of a night. Bill's only request when we brought him from the airport is don't put him on any of Don Ellis charts. I also luckily ended up getting a slip at Daytona marina for a couple of night-our neighbors were his parents. His da and mom were living on the boat and playing a club in Daytona (1972) super nice people.

Um dos mestres do trombone, sem dúvida!Se ele demonstrasse um pouco de emoção e seria um dos "patrões"...Salvé, Bill!

Hey, you know what? My comments were out of line. Bill's amazing, and I'm sure the recording doesn't do the other guys justice. Hats off to anyone who continues to play, and please let's see more Watrous posts. Peace.

You're not getting my point. Bill is awesome, including on this clip. Just wish we could hear more from him in even better contexts. That's all.

I was there during this performance ..he kicked butt. This recording doesn't do it justice. "I'd rather catch the local high-school jazz combo at the Ramada lounge than endure this" ..then do it, record it and put it up to compare. Some snot nosed high school kid will never come close to this.

Bill is God, though, even through this. Much respect.

Gosh, a music-instrument-manufacturer convention is really impressive and all, but open your ears!!! This is the very opposite of serious, brother. The very opposite. I'd rather catch the local high-school jazz combo at the Ramada lounge than endure this. So I repeat - so sad.

What playing a gig at the NAMM show, which is the show of the year for music and instrument manufacturers is considered sad? If you don't see this as a serious gig it's no wonder you're not a musician but a whiner.

A lot of pizzas weren't delivered that day. Very funny.Seriously, this is so sad. Totally validates my decision not to pursue a career in jazz. If Bill Watrous is doing this . . . .

I met Bill when he came to play at my high school when I was a sophomore 1st Trombone in the Jazz Band. He is the greatest!
