[Trombone-l] new Ellington brass quintets

[John Burton]

Mr Elkjer..  Any way that you could do up A-Train and Lush Life for 6, 7, or 8 Trombones (mayhaps even a BBb contra-bass and/or an Eb Alto trombone tossed in for good luck)...
 
Perhaps even the "It Don't Mean a Thing (if it Ain't Got That Swing)" chart or "Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me" chart from the "Brass Choir section"???
 
I get this little line of drool out of the corner of my mouth every time I see one of your new arrangements come out, then realize that a Trombone Octet can't quite do "Brass Choir" or "Brass Quintet".
 
<sigh>
 
Thanks!
