Listening to my wonderful husband Urbie in April 2019. God I miss him so.
I was so lucky to have stood beside him in performance on two separate occasions during the 1970s, Kathy. I held my own trading choruses with Urbie, but I don't ever kid myself about it:
Urbie was indisputably my superior as a trombonist and as a jazz musician.
And that's okay with me - I'm a better jazz trombonist than I ever would have been because of Urbie's inspiration. We all miss him, too, dear.
I didn't realize Urbie had passed away. I'm very sorry... He has been my inspiration to develop tone on the trombone. I've never heard better; he set the standard.. What a loss.
Dear Kathy. My father viewed him as the world's greatest trombonist. I do too. He played with Urbie on countless sessions. He enjoyed the performer and the man. I love listening to him too. What wonderful memories you must have. Sincerely, Tommy Mitchell Jr.
Kathy, I had the opportunity to attend a clinic of his back in the mid 70's. Every time I drive by that old school, I think of him. My band director introduced me to the playing of Urbie and the 21 Trombones when I was a sophomore in high school back in the 60's. He was always my idol.
He was one of the best to ever play
"Urbie Green 21 trombones" is by far the most beautiful record in the history of jazz trombone, it is an emotion every time I listen to it, Urbie sounds like a god ..... We miss you so much "lord of the trombone" ❤️❤️❤️
It's like a spiritual experience. You can feel the presence of a spiritual force from another world -- I just can't put it into words (And I've taught an adult Sunday School class for over 40 years).
In 1974, give or take a year, I was at a workshop before or after a concert by Bill Watrous and the Manhattan Wildlife Refuge, at a school in the area where I grew up in New Jersey.
Bill asked Urbie to play a quartet piece with 3 random trombone students in the audience, and somehow I was picked, along with a beautiful girl who had moved out of my town a year or so earlier, and some other kid. That 2 or 3 minutes, plus Bill then complimenting us by saying "Man, you cats got in some real licks there" had to be the highlight of my trombone playing days.
Bill and Urbie's sounds/styles were very different when turned loose to do their own thing, but both were incredibly skilled masters of the instrument, and also capable of playing a conventional piece pretty identically to each other. Just as impressive, was that these absolute top trombonists took the time to inspire and help along kids who loved the instrument.
I just about wore out the vinyl of this 21 Trombones album, as well as what I considered the tour-de-force of trumpet play, "High, Wide, and Wonderful" by Doc Severinson. Both were Enoch Light productions.
Arthur Pryor, Tommy Dorsey, Urbie Green!!!!!!! These Trombonists RULED!!!
There have been, and will be in the future, many great trombonists, but Urbie Green is the undisputed KING of trombone players when it comes to the sort of music you are listening to in the above 'video'. He has inspired thousands of trombonists -including myself- over the long career he has had in music. His sound is superb, his intonation is superb, and his understanding of chord structure is superb, along with his wonderful, unique technique and range.
The way plays that G above Bb at the 3:12 mark is astonishing. It's not just a high note. It's full, rich, vibrant, and beautiful!
Gorgeous playing all around! Urbie is so missed but lives on in with recordings like this, thank goodness!
WOW...Urbie Green plays so purdy! His notes pull tears! THANK YA
Approximately in 1974, I played clarinet in the Fraser High School band (Michigan, USA). Urbie Green was a visiting guest artist and he played Stardust at one of our concerts. What an absolute treat !
One of the best trombonists and solos ever
The best. Heard him play every opportunity. Including Eastern Trombone Workshop at Towson State University. Modest, humble, down to earth. A gentleman.
This is a fabulous album and the names of the players he used reads like the A Team. So much talent in one room is a VARY RARE THING! What I would have given to be there when this was being recorded, but I was just a child then. The fact that I'm listening to it now is a testimate to the greatness of the music. Thanks Urbie!
Every song on this album was done in a single cut! It was all a cold read too....amazing musicians.
Urbie, a musician in complete command of his instrument.
The bass trombones add so much!
Never too much with bass trombone
wow beautiful to breathtaking.
this record has a special place in my 600 piece collection of vinyl.
Best thing my notoriously cheap old man ever got me/bought me was a Conn 88H horn....I'm sure he probably paid 1500+ even in the mid-1970s.......still playing great after 45 years......that big bore can make anybody sound fantastic.
Amazing lyrical playing. What a great loss.
Wow! What sweet soulful playing! Love it!
Good description -- like a spiritual experience.
3:12 G above high Bb. Clear, resonant, strong, beautiful.
This is the best. THE BEST.
Hermosa música....con el gran URBIE GREEN en el trombón solista.....que corazón pone para tocar wowww busqué por mucho tiempo ese album pero ya lo conseguí jajajaja
The intro alone is my new crack.
URBIE GREEN (EUA) E GILBERTO GAGLIARDI (BRASIL): GIGANTES DO TROMBONE !!!!
Mind blowing cadenza...
I've owned this album on vinyl almost since it first came out, and wish like HELL someone would re-release the CD! What Urbie does with his slide-tuned instrument and what his twenty fellows do behind him is nothing short of marvelous. I'm genuinely glad that the New Trombone Collective has picked up Urbie's idea and recognized what he did, though.
Wunderfullllllllllllllllllll!
O poeta do trombone !!!!!
I was privileged to see him and his green trombone ! It was a wonderful experience !
THE GREATEST EVER!
I agree with Berlioz, and what he said of the trombone!! He knew what he was talking about. Carole
Superb. No other words needed
Some of the absolute BEST big band ever recorded.....all of the Urbie Green albums.....the Hawaiian guitar is sublime.....ranks up there with anything Basie or Sinatra or Jobim did.
G.O.A.T.
Wonder what THAT means!
Grande
Que maravilha!!!
I played with four and met or knew an additional seven!
The incomperable Urbie Green.
this is really smooth
You could always count on Urbie to do it best.
This my good people, is what Berlioz said of the trombone: "It is the master instrument".... Indeed it is. Here we have a dozen and a half orchestra of pure 'bones - without any help from any of the other instruments - creating music from the heavens.
Trombones forever!
the best so far/
Hoagy Charmichael, one of the top Jazz composers of all time. Stardust, Georgia on my Mind, and Heart and Soul, to name a few. What is ironic, is that JJ Johnson's 1959 LP with Stardust on it, was what made it a Trombone classic, and JJ and Kai Winding often played it live back then. They are both on this recording, yet Urbie is the feature and he it sounds great in Urbies style as well..
Masterful Performance !! Wish the actual video were available.... Casey - Hopewell, VA......

Who are the nine "people" who disliked this??? Are you kidding me?
I've always believed it should be mandatory to say why you dislike something before being allowed to do so. I also would like to hear their excuses.
Талантливый музыкант.Слышал я,что после Урби пытались создать нечто подобное.Не получилось.В России здорово играет тромбонист Максим Пиганов с коллегами,но у него состав пока небольшой.
best trombonest so far....james pankow of Chicago is my pic
Panko is a monster's monster! The reason I started playing again after high school. I'm still playing 47 years later!
Pankow would bow to Urbie Green. I bet Pankow is an Urbie Green fan.
This is a beautiful rendition of one of my favourite songs. I wonder if umpteen is between nineteen and twenty.
21
21 is in the twenties. I was only joking and if there was an umpteen,I recon the numbers would be; eighteen, nineteen, umpteen twenty 😁
Rather listen to the horns than what being done now
ich schmelze
Always call the tune in the key where you can play it in the register that sounds the best for you.
Dorsey would take any tune that was in Eb and play it in D because he felt that the trombone sounded richer in D than Eb and I agree... example, Sentimental Over You, Once In a While, etc.
