I Play Trombone

I Play Trombone

Trombonist Frank Rosolino (1926-1978) made his name playing with the Stan Kenton Band in the early 1950's. Following his departure, he carved out a career on the West Coast as both a studio and gigging musician, before ending his life tragically in 1978. Twenty years earlier however, he recorded this album, 'I Play Trombone', with a fine quartet featuring Sonny Clark (a tragic figure himself) on piano and Stan Levey on drums. Three standards and three originals (two by Frank) grace this album.
