Bob Brookmeyer

valve trombone, arrangement

Valve trombonist and arranger, he plays with a big band and guest arrangers on Gloomy Sunday and Other Bright Moments (Verve, 1961), produced by Creed Taylor. He considered this album his "pride," for the risks taken with woodwinds, double reeds, and unprecedented ensembles.
