I was at a cool funk/soul party yesterday night and the DJ put up tracks by a soul band where the bass line was played by a bass trombone. A freakishly good bass trombone...
Unfortunately I couldn't find out which band that was...
Any ideas?

No. It was more of a lazy 70's feel soul band.

Yeah, Reginald Chapman would have been my guess, but I don't know of any tunes of his with that 70s soul vibe.

That's what I thought too. I think I would have known it if it was a Chapman tune...
Maybe he was a sideman on some other album?

.... any other clues or descriptors?

Thats a 1970s Soul/R&B/Funk composition that had a prominent bass trombone... is that any closer to the vibe you heard?

That clip sounds about right around the 35 seconds mark.

Sounds kind of like the theme from the original Taking of Pelham 123 there...but it's definitely not that. I also thought of this, but it's probably not that either. (Amazing song though...and what a bass trombone sound!)

Re: Funk band with bass trombone
Not super relevant to the conversation, but when I was going into college I saw an Umphrey's McGee show (on DVD) in Chicago with my soon to be professor, Tom Matta, playing on it. He used to be an admin on the old forum, and I'm sad he's not here to be snarky with my comments. But he's an OG bass bone player in Chicago. Amazing composer/arranger too.

Re: Funk band with bass trombone
Was it Phil Ranelin`s group?
He was rockin` the Bass Trombone back then.
I believe he played a Conn 72H silver plated.

Nope. But a cool Sound anyway! Thanks!
Bass trombone wasn't the featured instrument. Just very prominent in the Brass section. Like a baritone saxophone.
