5.0 out of 5 stars Virtuoso Pioneer in Brass Instrumentation - BUY THIS CD!!, February 13, 2005

This review is from: Charles Vernon, Bass Trombone (Audio CD)

Charles Vernon expands the lyrical and technical capabilities of the bass trombone, the likes of which have never been heard before. Mr. Vernon whispers and shouts with the instrument in a nearly impossible range, seemingly effortlessly. He is a pioneer in bringing the bass trombone to the forefront as a solo instrument.
This should come as no surprise to those who have had the great opportunity to hear Mr. Vernon play. He is like an artist who paints a picture with each note. You will be extremely glad you have this masterpiece in your music collection.

This review is from: Charles Vernon, Bass Trombone (Audio CD)

Never heard mr.Vernon before and it was a must to have this cd.
His reputation with the famous Chicago Brass section is well known.

Great sound, good pieces, a pitty there is only a piano there.
I am very happy to have this solo recording wich puts a high standard for bass trombone playing and a great example for everyone.
