The first two records I bought with my own money were Bill Watrous’ Manhattan Wildlife Refuge and Maynard Ferguson’s Chameleon. I got home from Tower Records in San Jose and immediately put on Bill’s record. His legendary cadenza on Fourth Floor Walk Up changed the way I looked at the trombone and what was possible on the instrument. Bill had that kind of impact on virtually every trombonist of my generation. I had the good fortune to go on to play with Bill many times after that initial jaw dropping introduction and his playing has remained a constant source of inspiration for us all. —Michael Davis Hip-BoneMusic www.hip-bonemusic.com www.facebook.com/hipbonemusic  About the artist: Widely considered one of the most virtuosic and technically brilliant trombonists of all-time, Bill Watrous has recorded over 25 CDs as a solo artist and appeared on hundreds of others as a featured sideman. He has received a myriad of awards throughout his illustrious career, including winning both the Down Beat critics poll and readers poll.
