This my good people, is what Berlioz said of the trombone: "It is the master instrument".... Indeed it is. Here we have a dozen and a half orchestra of pure 'bones - without any help from any of the other instruments - creating music from the heavens.
Always call the tune in the key where you can play it in the register that sounds the best for you.
Dorsey would take any tune that was in Eb and play it in D because he felt that the trombone sounded richer in D than Eb and I agree... example, Sentimental Over You, Once In a While, etc.
@glennsin1 agreed- I play bass, and whenever I do adaptations either for my own practice or my band we do them in A or B because that's a key that sounds good for both guitar and bass
I've owned this album on vinyl almost since it first came out, and wish like HELL someone would re-release the CD! What Urbie does with his slide-tuned instrument and what his twenty fellows do behind him is nothing short of marvelous. I'm genuinely glad that the New Trombone Collective has picked up Urbie's idea and recognized what he did, though.
Hermosa música....con el gran URBIE GREEN en el trombón solista.....que corazón pone para tocar wowww busqué por mucho tiempo ese album pero ya lo conseguí jajajaja
I played with four and met or knew an additional seven!

You could always count on Urbie to do it best.

Trombones forever!

Cool. Did anyone else notice they play the tune in Ab, rather than the original key of C?

Back in the day, this album and Kai Winding's "More Brass" were two of my most favorites. Awesome sound.
