The thread about sharing your own bandcamp/soundcloud links got me to thinking about my friend Jim. Jim plays trombone for a pretty big deal . He’s also a big John Williams fan. Mix the two…

Enjoy.

Nice listen, thanks for sharing.

That was pretty interesting. I would listen to more if you got it.

He periodically but irregularly posts new recordings. Between the PSO and the Boston Pops, he has plenty of time spent on professional obligations. He has been kicking around the idea of doing an actual studio recording of the Williams stuff for a CD, but he’s having a hard time getting the rights hammered out. Even knowing Williams personally hasn’t helped, since it’s out of his hands.

These recordings are mostly on an Audio-Technica AT2020 USB condenser mic piped into a Macbook running Audacity, then overdubbed for however many tracks he needs. It’s kind of painstaking work, but the results are impressive.

This is cool! Glad you shared it :slight_smile:

He’s AWESOME!! I especially loved the Barber Adagio… it’s one of my favorite pieces ever.
