Seeing various names of musicians who play both trumpet & trombone pop up on
DJML brings me to make a comment:

The amazing thing about Morrison is that he plays both horns better than
almost anyone else anyone has ever heard.  Normally, if a musician shares
his time between two axes (reed guys are except!), he/she either excels on
home & is mediocre/awful on the other (that's me!), or doesn't really excel
on either.  

I've seen people move around the bandstand playing every instrument
available, but they play just ok.  Jim Morrison is just not in a normal
category.
