I don't think anyone has yet mentioned Radu Malfatti, who's gone from being a
member of the Brotherhood Of Breath and the LJCO, just to mention two among
dozens of superb groups, to the new superspare style he's pioneered over the
last seven or eight years.
Malfatti hasn't had any new releases in a few years, but that will be
remedied in the next month or two, with a double CD on Grob, with Burkhard
Stangl, Franz Hautzinger and Gunter Schneider, as well as a CD on my label,
with Thomas Lehn and Phil Durrant.

well, after all the talk about this movie here, I rented it today. I haven't
seen it yet, but I thought I'd pass on the info printed on the videotape,
since I don't think that's been posted here yet.

Dutch trombone player Wolter Wierbos has a great solo trombone disc on ICP called X-Calibur (subtitle something about trombone technique). It would be my first recommendation. Available through verge, cadence, maybe elsewhere. Wierbos has played with ICP Orcherstra and was in Gerry Hemingway's band for years.
Paul Rutherford is also a good choice; Discreet Harm of the Bourgouisie (Emanem) is solo and wonderful, but he plays on tons of good records.
Gunter Christmann -- also plays cello, and is one of my favorite trombone players. If you can still get it, his duet with Mats Gustafsson, one of those Okka limited editions, is great. One of the few alubms to ever scare me -- some of the transitions from extremely quiet to extremely loud are so jarring I'm still not used to them.

Paul Rutherford and George Lewis. Lewis was able to get Braxton to swing.
Check out the Braxton Quartet with GL, great stuff with Lewis heavily
featured. Rutherford /ISKRA 1903 with Derek Bailey and Barry Guy is never
far from my CD player. Stretching, twisting, and turning the vocabulary

Zorn-agains,
A lot of you dig Tom Waits. On Mule Variations there's this great spoken
song about a man building something. Can anyone clear up this mystery for me
?
What's he building in there? We have a right to know !

Sebi Tramontana and Giancarlo Schiaffini have done some really good stuff
with trombones and electronics. I don't know where you can purchase their
music, but I remember them being really amazing when I saw them a couple
years ago.

As a trombonist, I heartily endorse Rudd (RIP), Bauer, and Lewis.

He's also on that utterly fantastic Louis Moholo Octet LP _Spirits Rejoice_ . Damn it all, why won't that album get a CD reissue? An LP transcript? Anything!?!?
