trombone show

i turned on bobby j's show, which directly precedes mine, from 9 to 11 and heard that he was doing his annual trombone show. since i had not planned my show yet, that made it easy. i quickly assembled a bunch of trombone albums from my collection and headed on down to the station. you can't go wrong with jazz trombone. after all, as a famous person once said, we all can use more trombone, or shofar. 

interestingly enuf, there are several compilations of jazz trombone that include a lot of excellent music. all of them feature kai winding and jj johnson, of course, along with others. compared to other recordings, there is really a dearth of albums dedicated to jazz trombone. it is truly a neglected instruments but among true jazz aficionados, very much appreciated and loved. bobby j's annual show pays respectful homage to the greats of this instrument.  i only humbly followed suit.
