A friend came to hear me play while I was subbing with a jazz trio.

Beautiful men and musicians on piano and guitar.

Pensativa:

He loved it!

Autumn Leaves:

For you, it is free….

“Stereogram W” for Bill Bell

Posted on October 31, 2023 by David Brubeck

Perhaps Dean Martin. Lester Young. That’s about it. Almost NOBODY was cooler than Bill Bell back on the day! Whether as a gifted soloist on tuba or voice, or a member of perhaps the first all-star, low-brass section which included fellow greats: Gordon Pulis and Lewis Van Haney on tenor trombone and Alan Ostrander on bass trombone next to the inimitable Bell in the famed New York Philharmonic.
