Reut Regev trombone solo improvisation

Please enjoy below a free improvised musical moment of my life, that I originally shared on Facebook to help promote a live premiered concert of trombone solos. And this is the rest of the text of my Facebook post too... IF you feel like reading about a little portion of my musical history, I have got a longer than recommended story to share below! :) ************************************************************** Long ago, when I was nearing the end of my high school years, I knew one thing about my future: I was not going to become a professional jazz musician. I spent countless hours practicing my arpeggios, tunes and exercises, and I became quite "good" at it. But, I was also good at many other things, and I did not find a sufficient reason to choose music over anything else, being that with the choice of music came what everyone knew was a harder and less lucrative life. And then, sometime in my last year of high school, someone called the jazz department director requesting some young musicians for a project, and I was recommended. The project was put together by guitarist Kobi Shefi and featured the beloved, then 64 years old Harold Rubin on clarinet. It was a free improvisation based project. The details are blurry, and it is not unlikely I have some of them wrong. But I remember someone, I am pretty sure Harold, telling me: "just play, play out your feelings!" And, I guess there were a lot of feelings I needed to play out, since after that, something changed for me, and I was no longer sure about my earlier decision. I continued to play with Harold regularly until I finished my army service and moved to NYC. Along the way, this special collaboration also lead to my meeting with Igal, which of course played a major part in my journey, musical and geographical! As I became serious about my free/avantgarde aspirations, I spent hours practicing "un-scaling" "un-arpeggiating" and "un-patterning". I wanted everything coming out of my horn to be, as much as possible, uncharted territory. Over the years, my musical taste, philosophy, and career have, as expected from a living being, been changing. I am well versed in traditional jazz, blues, latin music, klezmer, and whatever else. Even my original music, which certainly has its roots in the free/avantgarde, features plenty of melodies, grooves, patterns, and influences. But this guttural, free kind of music will always have a special place in my heart. And, I play it differently of course today, as I am in a different place. And hopefully, I will play it a bit differently yet again tomorrow.
