Frank Rosolino could have probably traded fours with bird.....his technique

with the trombone was that good....talent rivaled only by JJJohnson IMO



Particulars describing this "cult" album are included.



Track#3 ...Don't Take Your Love From Me....is "baroque" ie highly ornamented.. 

which is one of the more salient qualities of BEBOP, eh?





FYI: Frank tried to murder both of his sons before turning the gun on himself.


The history of this LP might have contributed to his emotional problems.


Don't let that infamy keep you from enjoying this amazing LP from 1958.

We will never know exactly; the tragedy of Frank
Rosolino or exactly what happened....a suicide pact?.....It's really not as interesting as the excellent music he made......the music is what matters most.....is it not?

I forgot to mention that the BASS on this album is overblown...boomy...flaccid...luckily there's no sign of the cheesy reverb which marred so many otherwise excellent albums from the '50s

thanks froogAL! you're right, the bass is a bit boomy but easily overlooked. Excellent recording and performance! I have the album recorded in Toronto by Don Thompson with Sweet And Lovely, and Who Can I Turn To. Frank certainly gets around the horn. Thanks for the post. Cheers.
