There is more to assigning these voice part names than just key.
Otherwise Urbie Green and I play the same instrument.
I thought his had valves!!
Heh, heh! No, he only played so clean and smooth that it SOUNDED like he
had valves!
An expert slide trombone player can actually play SMOOTHER than a valve
trombonist. It's has something to do with not breaking the air stream...
I think it also has something to do with how much harder the slide
trombonist has to work to develop that smooth legato. It's not easy at
all, and takes a long time and many hours of daily practice to finally
get that beautiful slur on a slide trombone.
As opposed to a valved-instrument player who has the technique of
slurring mastered in one 4-minute explanation and playing of a few
slurred exercises.
