Have to agree with Mr.Taylor in that one,
He speaketh the truth.
The vibrato issue is purely one of taste, and nobody should dictate
how you do it. Mike Larwood, although giving a good description of
a very nice cheesy big band stylee vibrato, I doubt that if you
played in that vein all the time, you would be thanked, although
each to their own I suppose. Here's a novel idea, you don't really
need vibrato all the time, for trombones it should be something
which can be turned on and off like a tap, if you use it constantly,
you sound like a horn (bless them). A good example would be
Black Dykes recording of Blitz from about 1980, the trom player
there uses spoonfuls of the stuff, and it really does sound like a
horn, most amusing, but also very confusing when it came to
playing the actual part, I thought the troms had nothing to do in the
piece, I discovered that was far from true.
Anyway, straying from the point. An the point is,
THINK BEFORE USING VIBRATO, DON'T OVER USE, BUT USE
IT WHEN IT'S EFFECTIVE, THAT IS WHEN PEOPLE SIT UP AND
SAY AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! It works, trust me!!
