What role would a trombone play in a brass band?

Answer 1

This question makes no sense. The trombone player plays the Trombone. In jazz bands, the trombone plays in the tenor range, below the Trumpet, and in large bands, the entire trombone section often plays together as a section. In small combos (trombone, trumpet, sax, plus rhythm section), the trombone serves as a lower, alternate voice to the other instruments. One advantage to the trombone is the "sliding" or glissando effect often heard in Jazz Music.

Answer 2

The trombone usually provides support for the band with its lower range of notes. Not only does it support the band, but it also helps counter-balance all of the instruments that play higher. If a song has just high notes, it tends to sound more shrill and not nice. Sometimes songs will have trombone features, or even just little feature parts, and that's when things get fun! Every instrument is in the band for a reason. Together with the cornets/trumpets, the trombones are the 'forward facing' instruments of the band and are therefore often given any fanfare lines in a piece. There are usually two tenors and one bass trombone. The bass trombone either plays as a third tenor allowing the trombone section to play in harmony or as an extra bass reinforcing the tubas. It can also gives an "edge" to the bass line. As a bass trombone player you often find yourself playing on the beat whilst your tenor colleagues are playing off the beat.

Answer 3

The role the trombone plays in a jazz band is complementing the bassist and improvisation. The most common type of trombone to play with in a jazz band is a tenor trombone. Tenors are low so it brings out the bass. The bass also brings out the trombone, so it is a win for win.

Unlike trumpets and saxophones, trombones don't improvise between the lyrics (if you have a vocalist). Trombones usually don't improvise until it is there turn to solo. Improvising is a very large role that trombones play in a jazz band. If you are going to take a solo be sure that you use a blues scale in the key of the song.

These are the main roles that trombones play in a jazz band.
