[Trombone-l] Trombone group recordings

[Jeff Albert]

My favorite bone band album is Jay & Kai + 6.  I have an old vinyl re-issue
that is called JJ & Kai:  The J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding Trombone Octet.
I know it is out on CD somewhere, I think under the original J & K + 6
name.  In addition to Kai and JJ it has Urbie Green, Eddie Bert, Jimmy
Cleveland, Bob Alexander, Bart Varsalone, and Tommy Mitchell.

Steve Turre's One 4 J has some bone ensemble stuff on it.
