[Dixielandjazz] Trombone Keys

[Harold Smith]

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.
