A new-to-me bass trombonist from NY, Reginald Chapman, killing it on Donna Lee:

(A BAC bass - I thought all those bends in the tubing of the attachments were bad and open wraps were necessary for a smooth air flow or something like that. Nice looking work by Mike Corrigan).

Lots of interesting stuff in his website:

Chops for sure!!

Air does not behave the same as sound wave in regards to "flow"!!

Closed wraps play just as well as open wraps if built carefully!!

Larry Minick proved this years ago!

I was in undergrad with Reggie. He’s been doing this for years, and it’s nice to see him get recognized on a large stage. Very happy for him.

My students have been talking about his work with No BS Brass for a few years now. Chops for days!
