everyone knows trombone music is best for cartridge break-in!

Ha!   Ever notice how there are a dis-proportionate number of audiophiles who were/are trombone players.  @tomic601 included if I’m not mistaken.

cartridge is due here by fed ex tomorrow but with the holiday and annual post thanksgiving respite in Maui I probably won’t get it installed til mid December.   Timing not the best but I avoided a long wait by getting one that was available now.  Gives me something to look forward to.   

 

All serious aside, I have a crazy number of trombone-featured records.  
@sbank what are some of your favorites? 

@spiritofradio A few that come to mind are:

Count Basie - Basie Jam (J.J. Johnson). awesome hifi bargain on Pablo!

Louis Armstrong - Plays King Oliver

Tom Waits - Swordfish Trombones

Miles Davis - Birth of the Cool (J.J. Johnson & Kai Winding)

@sbank 

 

Kai & JJ Baby!   Yeah, I have all of those except the Tom Waits.  I’ve heard it because I was curious but should revisit it with an open mind.  The Basie is great I agree.   So, do you know the work of Bill Watros?  I think I have all or nearly all his records.  Just love what he does.  Writes good charts too.   

Btw, that first Impex record, Kai & JJ, with Bill Evans on it is, well, it’s a favorite.
