Lone Rider (trombone Music)
Reissue of 1972 album. "About the music. Our idea in making this album has been to present the trombone sound in a varied programme for all tastes - ballad, bossa nova, folk song, beat and jazz. Some of the numbers have been written specially for us by well-known musicians like Kenny Drew, Sahib Shihab, Dage Johnson and our own pianist, Ole Koch Hansen. In this album, 'Lone Rider,' 'Night In Tunisia' and 'Sleepy' are scored for 9 trombones and rhythm group. We recorded the left channel first with 4 of the trombones and the rhythm group, synchronising the four others on the right channel and solo trombone in the centre afterwards. 'A Bossa For You,' 'Safari' and 'Beat It' is scored for 4 trombones and rhythm. Axel Windfeld's arrangement of 'Autumn,' scored for 5 trombones, was inspired by Barbara Streisand's recording of it. Here again, we recorded the four accompanying trombones first and added the solo afterwards. 'Hr Medelvold Og Jomfru Redselille' comes from the repertoire of the Danish Radio Jazz Group, and this arrangement of it, for trombone, celeste, bass, guitar and drums, is based on the original arrangement by Hans Henrik Ley. We would like to express our grateful appreciation to the many who have helped to make this album possible." ~Torolf Molgaard, 1972.
