Hi,
starting to play in a reggae/ska band, I don't find the proper technique to make my trombone sound as I would like to (bright greasy copper) without blowing very loud on my trombone...
as on this huge skatalites song:
Any clues on how to do that?
Thanks

High/forward tongue position, playing in the slot exactly, equipment that makes it easy to slot, no vibrato.

Re: How to sound Reggae
What do you sound like now?
It's kind of impossible to suggest a change... Change from what?
Post a video of yourself playing the same thing.
The player in that recording is not playing all that loud... probably in a studio, and it's not always possible to reproduce a studio sound when playing live.

that's exactly what I needed. Tried that today, and it starts to sound great. Now I just need to practice a lot and that will be fine.
Thanks again,
and by the way, I really like your profile's picture
