Lincoln Ross

by Mr. Lincoln

Lincoln Ross started in music as a 15 year old Washington DC 9th grader seeking to play in the high school band The band director picked the trombone for him because he needed trombone players and thus the journey began. Nine years later he says he happened to be in the right place at the right time and found himself playing 3rd trombone with the Count Basie Orchestra. The following year Ross says he got lucky again and recorded an album on a national label ("Vibes of Truth"-The Three Pieces / Fantasy 9476). This all came about through his association with jazz legend Donald Byrd who was Ross’ jazz band instructor at Howard University where he earned a bachelor's degree in music in 1973. The Blackbyrd's recording of his original instrumental "Gut Level" reached #9 on Billboard’s US Dance chart in 1974. Five years later a last minute substitute trombone player was needed for a recording session. That session date turned out to be the smash hit recording "Bustin' Loose" by Washington
