Bonin'

To be honest, I never really dug the trombone as a jazz axe until recently. Some very hip podcast listeners of this program began suggesting I do a jazz trombone theme, and turned me on to some great cats like Conrad Herwig. A couple weeks ago I made mention of the idea on the air, and then I got flooded with emails with lots of ideas on who to play (e.g. Watrous, Priester, Fuller, and more). I also caught Brian Thomas, a bone player out of Boston, playing a a local jazz club, that was amazing. Put all this together, and it culminates into this program featuring the Trombone.

Thanks for doing this Ken. I was the one who emailed the request in and you got a bunch I don't have in my collection. Much appreciated!
