Mark Williams - Blues in Hoss' Flat (The Count Basie Orchestra Live at Birdland)
2’
Mark Williams’ (3rd trombone - The Count Basie Orchestra) solo on Frank Foster’s popular Blues in Hoss’ Flat from the album The Count Basie Orchestra Live at Birdland (2021). This is one of the hippest plunger solos you will ever hear, and all the inflections are marked in the transcriptions. Mark brilliantly drops the plunger for the final two choruses, allowing him to let it rip. This solo is a masterclass in blues vocabulary and is loaded with ideas to borrow for the next time you get to perform Blues in Hoss’ Flat.
This transcription and many others are available on my YouTube channel:
