And let's not forget the United Jazz- & Rock-Ensemble, which had the great late Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone (who for many years held top poll position in the leading jazz magazines).

I didn't see this one mentioned:

Newsletter? When do you anticipate this to start? Sounds pretty cool.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Burnin' Red Ivanhoe had a trombonist in the band. I recommend W.W.W. (if you can find it! I was lucky enough to snag a copy while it was still in print).

I can't believe no-one's mentioned Floyd's Rick Wright. A trombonist as well as a keyboard player (check his instrument out on the Ummagumma equipment spread) he featured this instrument live in the early years. To hear a rare recorded example, check out Biding My Time (on Relics). If this IS him on this track, he ain't bad!

Also Ashley Hutchings contributed to several Cardiacs tracks.

Lady of the Dancing Water (KC - Lizard) has to be the most obvious example, but I've never warmed to it's bitter-sour contribution to this track. The freeform blowin' on Happy Families is better.

Of course the Keith Tippet boys (as I like to call them) played all kinds of brass and woods amomg which trombone.

the KTB were:

 Nick evans - the trombonist (paul rutherford was the other trombonist on the scene - played in Centipede and on a super rare Spedding album called Songs Without Words - japan only release)
Elton Dean
Mark Charig
Lyn Dobson
Robin Miller

I did a google search and I found something very interesting about the "trombone"  intro in Golf Girl.

Maybe it's an urban legend, but read this one!

I wonder if it's the same on the album???

You do remember right!

I would suggest Brother Jimmy did since Pye's brother also played sax and flutes.

That'll be my guess too.

Scatting a trombone? Toughie, and I do not think so , but it is a possibility.

When you know that this track describe how he met his wife and the silly but delicious lyrics, scatting vocals doing trombone is not that surprizing!

The track is supposedly written by Sinclair (Hastings only wrote Love To Love You on that album) but I saw Hastings claim in concert in Paris four years ago, that this was about him meeting his wife - and it was her birthday that very day.

Bruce Fowler's trombone playing on "Be-Bop Tango (Of the Old Jazzmen's Church)" from Frank Zappa's "Roxy & Elsewhere" live album will totally blow you away. Absolutely amazing.
