Can anyone suggest some good songs with trombone solos? Thanks in advance!

The whole Man From Wareika LP is a trombone delight.

edit - got the song wrong, hang on...

Vin Gordon - Gordon In The Garden - Masaya Records 2008 CD.

"Musical Bones" by Vin Gordon and the Upsettes not mentioned yet? Pure magic imho.

[cover=1833,2162][cover=1108,1276][cover=1085,1249][cover=3398,2977][cover=2124,2483][cover=217,241][cover=12,8][cover=3029,3442]

just a small selection here and if you tune into ska then off course all of Don Drummond and the Skatalites.

From recent years check
- "Gordon in the garden" (already mentioned)
- the Matic Horns albums
- Restless Mashaits "Kingston Sessions"
- Tommy Tornado "Sunrise"

Vin Gordon in fine style!

Favourite at the moment.
