Marty Nichols commented on the 'Good' trombone keys.
Don't play the bone, but I do know that Teagarden played his 4/4 version
of "Lover" in Db, and Bob Havens does that tune in the same key.
Also read that T. Dorsey played his "Gettin' Sentimental" theme in the
key of D-natural. I had always heard the trombonists do not relish
playing in keys with sharps.
As for me, playing in any key has its challenges.
