    @neoman91661 Not all lower notes are played in a low position. Trombone players adjust their lip and the slide to form notes so one note can be played more than one way. It’s obviously pre recorded as is seen by Lionel Hampton’s parts. It would have sounded terrible if it was recorded in the room. All movies use overdubbing. Its standard and has been for years.

    fragment from 3:35 reminds me of a great song. “Belongs to a song apart?

    Actually, I think this theme was inspired by a spiritual song by black men in America by the time, indeed.

    The part the black men sing at 1:47, the melody is from the New World Symphony (Nº 9) from Antonin Dvorak, 2º movement (largo). Beautiful!!! And totally related with the meaning of the scene :)
