Hi all, just watched the new Disney movie "Soul" and can't find who played trombone parts of Connie in it. I found them really good
Such a shame that this musician wasn't credited.

There is already a thread on this..... Andy Martin

Oh, thanks!

Actually he did get credited, if you are prepared to watch about 2 hours of credits! I was thinking the same thing as I waded through the millions of people credited.

In most films the Gaffers assistant assistant, in charge of making sandwiches gets mentioned earlier but often the muscians are not mentioned at all and when you consider how much study, practice and experience goes into getting them to where they are asked to record - its more of an effort and a greater achievement than the star actor who headlines. Its a topsy turvy world... Doug

Andy Martin made me a sandwich once and it tasted like absolute garbage

Actually, he did not get credited. It has sparked a fair amount of debate online. Andy Martin personally made several comments on Kenny Rampton's Facebook post about the snub. Here is the list of credits: https://pixar.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_Credits. There is no mention of Martin or trombone in the credits.

Yup - I looked. Clear down to the "Music" section where there's a category "Featured Jazz Musicians " I see no mention there (or anywhere else) of Andy Martin. I can see why he'd be disappointed!

Next time when anyone of you guys do a trombone dubbing on a Disney picture make sure to have the problem solved in the contract, also make them know there were a lot of tromboneplayers last time who refused to see the full picture because Andy Martin was not getting his credits in the text. The tromboneplayers from Sweden, besides saying hello, sends a message that they refuse too se anything BUT the scenes where Andy plays until mr Martin gets his credits spread worldwhile and the news becomes official in announcements all over the world. You can tell Andy Martin he has my full support.
Best whishes in person from Tom.
