I didn't think that there was a trombone lead since Tommy Dorsey and his Big Band. However J.J. Johnson shows that the trombone, can indeed, be a lead instrument!I'd suggest "My Favorite Things," followed by "Put on a Happy Face," and then, "Make Someone Happy."The mix of trombones, drums, and piano work well here on this energized, lively album.

"_J.J. did for the trombone what Charlie Parker did for the saxophone. And all of us that are playing today wouldn't be playing the way we're playing if it wasn't for what he did. And not only, of course, is he the master of the trombone — the definitive master of this century — but, as a composer and arranger, he is in the top shelf as well._"---"Steve Turre":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stev
