André Lafosse (1890–1975) was a professional trombonist and professor at the Conservatoire de Paris in the early 20th century.
Lafosse was Professor of Trombone at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1948 to 1960, where he took over from Henri Couillaud.
In it he famously describes the practise of playing with vibrato as vulgar and glissandos of questionable taste.
that he was the soloist in Stravinsky's own 1928 Paris recording of Pulcinella where the trombonist omits the written glissandos – instead playing the notes staccato.
Stravinsky's Octet for winds recorded in the same period features trombonists André Lafosse and a certain Raphaël Delbos.
