Jazz trombone anyone?


Was listenng to Enrico Rava quartet this evening and the trombonist caught my attention! Wonderful full, smooth and deep sound. Any music recommendations for jazz trombone as a featured or accompanying instrument?

Kai Winding is fun - One of my favorites is Dance to the City Beat. Don't know if you're into vinyl or not, but if you find this on the original Columbia 6-eye, the sound is awesome. He also did a number of collaborative lp's during the 6-eye era with J.J. Johnson.

There's a couple of video clips on the Kai Winding website:

One of the trombone greats, who flew mostly under the radar, is Frank Rosolino. I'd recommend his overlooked 1976 album with Conte Candoli on trumpet: "Conversation", but you can search Ebay for his name as a sideman and find some great classics.
