Alan Ferber
Trombone Solo on
Eastbound

About

Alan Ferber contributes two choruses of trombone on "Eastbound" at approximately 161 BPM, the second soloist following Matt Zebley on this medium-swing original. His warm, burnished tone and melodic sensibility over the 24-bar AAB form in C minor highlight the trombone's lyrical potential, each phrase carefully shaped within the composition's relatively compact structure. Ferber's two-chorus solo adds tonal depth to the performance, his approach contrasting with the brighter sounds of Zebley's alto and the trumpet of Ron Stout that follows.

Alan Ferber was 22 to 23 years old at the time.
