| “Bill Broughton is an all around musician, an excellent arranger, composer, conductor and above all, a virtuoso trombonist. He can seduce you with his velvet tone (very reminiscent of Tommy Dorsey) in lyrical ballads and also he can dazzle you with his very fiery dexterity in numbers like “Flight of the Bumble Bee.” ... Lalo Schifrin (Hollywood Film Composer / Conductor) |
