Trombone Quotes

• In my opinion, the trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments, which I have named the 'epic' one. It possesses nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst. Directed by the will of the master, the trombones can chant like a choir of priests, threaten, utter gloomy sighs, a mournful lament, or a bright hymn of glory; they can break forth into awe-inspiring cries and awaken the dead or doom the living with their fearful voices.

• The Violins waltzed. The Cellos and Basses provided accompaniment. The Violas mourned their fate, while the Concertmaster showed off. The Flutes did bird imitations…repeatedly, and the reed instruments had the good taste to admire my jacket. The Trumpets held a parade in honor of our great nation, while the French Horns waxed nostalgic about something or other. The Trombones had too much to drink. The Percussion beat the band, and the Tuba stayed home playing cards with his landlady, the Harp, taking sips of warm milk a blue little cup. “But the Composer is still dead.

• Más o menos creo que el trombón fue elegido para mí. Primero elegí un violín, que no se me dio demasiado bien, e, irónicamente, lo único que me quedó fue el trombón. Mi siguiente elección fue un saxofón, pero no tenían ninguno; así que creo que el Creador tuvo mucho que ver con lo que hice... Porque las cosas simplemente sucedieron, ya sabes, y yo no tenía ningún control sobre ellas. Y acabé tocando el instrumento que toco ahora.

• Los músicos de mi época tenían apodos. Yo me llamaba "Satchel Mouth", como el maletín de un médico. Cuando fui a Inglaterra este tipo era estrictamente inglés, y era editor del periódico de allí. Me dio la mano al bajar del tren y me dijo: "Hola, Satchmo". Así que enseguida mi trombonista dijo: "Mmm, el hombre piensa que tienes más boca que Satchel Mouth". Así que me quedé con él, y salió bien.
