Legendary Hollywood studio trombonist Alan Kaplan joins Paul The Trombonist to discuss his extraordinary new album, *The Collier Project*, a two-and-a-half-year undertaking in which he recreated Jacob Collier's intricate arrangements entirely by himself, performing every part and handling all the recording, mixing, and mastering.
Alan shares the recording techniques behind his massive multitracked trombone arrangements, his experiences working with Paul McCartney and Ray Charles, and unforgettable stories about trombone legends Frank Rosolino, J.J. Johnson, Carl Fontana, and Lloyd Ulyate.
They also discuss recording the iconic *Silverado* film score, vintage ribbon microphones, trombone equipment, and the importance of daily practice and protecting your chops throughout a long professional career.
