Terrific Trombones (128)
This week on the program, we’re doing a deep dive on the great trombone players of the hi-fi era. The trombone, as an instrument, usually takes a back seat in brass sections to bright trumpets or honking saxophones, but with its rich and mellow tone, the trombone really is the backbone of any horn section. We take a look at some of the great trombone players and trombone records of the hi-fi era. We’ll hear from Warren Covington, Jack Teagarden, Si Zentner, and many more.
