This duo date by trombonist Phil Wilson and pianist Paul Schmelling focuses exclusively on the music of Harold Arlen, featuring 17 songs that have become favorite standards for musicians, because their memorable melodies inspire swinging improvisations. Lest you think that 71 minutes of piano-trombone duets is excessive, the imagination and musicianship displayed by the two men should alleviate any worries. A jaunty "AC-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive" signals the listener that Wilson and Schmelling are here to lift one's spirits. The tantalizing bossa nova arrangement of "Out of This World" and virtuoso playing by both men in "My Shining Hour" are among the many highlights of this low-profile but highly recommended CD. ~ Ken Dryden
Recorded at Berklee's Studio A, Boston, Massachusetts.
Personnel: Phil Wilson (trombone); Paul Schmeling (piano).
JazzTimes (12/96, pp.123-124) - "This entertaining set packs a lot of bang for the buck. It remedies three severe shortages: lyrical trombone, succint and witty duos, and Harold Arlen covers....The Schmeling piano and the Wilson trombone...provide a movable feast here as they strut and lull, coax and prod the essence from 17 (count 'em) Arlen goodies..."

| | Dick Griffin All Blues CD (1999)
AC-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive: Arlen Songs music CDs
$18.99
Dick Griffin is one of today's leading trombone players. In a career spanning over 30 years, he has performed with some of the biggest names in Jazz and Soul, as well as appearing with several symphony orchestras. A short list of the luminaries Mr. Griffin has worked with includes: Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Tito Puente, Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, James Brown, Harry Belafonte, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Hampton.Griffin has developed a highly personalized playing style which he calls "circularphonics". His ability to combine playing chords on the trombone with circular breathing is unrivaled among Jazz trombonists. The expanded range of simultaneous sounds Griffin creates through his multiphonic technique sometimes evokes the spirit of such experimental Jazz musicians as John Coltrane, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Sun Ra. Never a follower, Griffin has moved beyond the course set by these pioneering giants to develop a unique style on and for an instrument which has hardly been the most widely used in modern Jazz. This is his story . . .James Richard Griffin was born and reared in Jackson, Mississippi. His first musical influence was a neighbor known simply as Mr. Jesse. At evening time, all the neighborhood children would stop by to hear Mr. Jesse's impromptu blues guitar compositions with lyrics describing the day's events in rhyme. Griffin began studying piano at age 11 and, two years later, upon entering high school joined the school's marching band where he learned trombone.His professional career began as a teenager, playing piano and trombone in clubs with classmate Freddie Waits on drums. He also sang in a doo-wop group which, upon winning a competition, was asked to tour with Sam Cooke. In college, Griffin won several awards for his arranging skills. In 1963, Griffin graduated from Jackson State University and taught for two years in Columbia Mississippi. One of ...

Join us on our journey down this steely path to where the music is bold and pure, the garbage is good, and the goods are in the can. -JoeCap'n James Cook, inventor of the Trashcanjo (a four string banjo made out of a trashcan) was looking for an outlet for all the old-time jazz and folk songs he'd learned over the years playing in bands such as The Wags, Whiskey Puppy, and Jimbo Trout and the Fish People. After building a washtub bass for his friend Chuck Masi (Little Joe, Higher Ground) the pair set out to find other ...
