Description
“Dark Eyes” is a stunning arrangement of the traditional Russian melody, crafted for the legendary Trombone soloist Don Lusher by his Ted Heath Band colleague, Bill Geldard. This arrangement is a classic of the trombone repertoire, famously recorded by Nick Hudson. It captures the sultry, lyrical, and eventually virtuosic nature of the folk tune, allowing the soloist to showcase both a velvet-smooth tone and dazzling technical facility. Bill Geldardâs arrangement provides a stylish and sophisticated backdrop that highlights the unique “Lusher” style. It is an essential work for any Trombone soloist looking to perform a piece with deep historical roots and immense audience appeal.
