[Trombone-l] When to use what instrumentation

[Keith Marr]

I agree, not clear whether it's an alto or a small tenor. I'm inclined to 
think it's an alto from the weight of tone. Is that Joe Alessi?

Cheers!

Bass Trombone: St Albans Symphony Orchestra and Page Three Big Band
Soloist: Alto, Tenor and Bass Trombones
