> I have been trying to find info about this little known monster trombonist. I do have two CD copies from a friend, now deceased, which is a Jazz at the Philharmonic a Norman Granz concert with Charlie Parker and several other all-stars . The other is an unknown live recording with a sideman which sounds like Stan Getz. The Granz concert was 1949, the second in unknown.
