Yes, it was Bobo on that recording. The lick before the 'big' solo in the 1st mvmt with the trombones.....Reynolds and Bobo.....jaw-dropping.

I really love this recording. Bobo and Jeff Reynolds (not to mention Thomas Stevens on trumpet) are very aggressive. That passage before the tuba solo in the first movement is really powerful. I'm not sure but I think the 2nd trombone or the bass trombone goes down to a C# below the staff and really hits it as loud as on any recording (well the New York Mehta one is loud too haha)

I love jeff reynolds and all that but ... the NY Mehta recording takes the cake for me.

I am ashamed to say, that I have not heard this recording...I need to get off my *** and find it! My personal favorite are the NYPO/Mehta, and the DVD of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra under Abbado, especially the trombone line at the very end of the finale Astounding playing on both recordings.

I'm not sure but I think the 2nd trombone or the bass trombone goes down to a C# below the staff ...

I think its in the 2nd trombone part.

[Easty621]

I always thought it was the 2nd trombone too but on http://www.tromboneexcerpts.org/" target="_blank it appears the bass trombone is the one that has it--which makes more sense. Go to movement 1, excerpt 4 bass trombone and there she is

Thats strange, the score I had in front of me showed it in the 2nd part. SO much for editors! LOL Thanks for the info!
