i was listening to some Stan Kenton with an ear towards the trombones.  
He had some great ones, from Kai Winding to Frank Rosolino.

If you are a trombonist, or have ears for trombones, or Kenton, see:

(Featuring Rosolino)

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYYhZ-kuU80  (Machito, With Winding in  
the beginning and then Skip Layton at the end playing high note duet  
with a high note trumpeter.)

That ending features Skip Layton  on high trombone and Chico Alverez  
on high trumpet. It was written out at Kenton's direction, by Alvarez  
to feature both playing in a high range that was still comfortable for  
them.

Cheers,
