Here's Part One of an in depth and HUGE fun conversation with the great Marshall Gilkes: trombonist DELUXE, composer, orchestrator, leader, and all-around nice cat! We get into Marshall's background and begin "The Lightning Round" where I pick one piece from each album in his already profound canon of work and we do a deep dive as to what he was thinking when he wrote it, the people he played with and how he approached performing each one. After you dig this (or whilst you are digging it!) go to Marshall's website and BUY his music. WOWZA!
