BTW, To all you bass trombonists out there, I would like to recommend two
new George Roberts CDs on the Music Minus One label.

These are MMO 3906 "Unsung Hero"
      and MMO 3 "Big Band Ballads"

George plays solo bass 'bone on top of Nelson Riddle Orchestra
arrangements originally done for Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

Second half of each CD is just orchestra, for you to play along with.

Thoroughly recommendable! URL is http://www.minusone.com
