Hi all, looking for jazz duo recordings by trombonists + another instrument. I found an interesting one by Albert Mangelsdorff and Lee Konitz called "Art of the duo".

I know J.J. did a record with Joe Pass. Any other suggestions?

Posted: **Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:23 am**

Bob Brookmeyer & Jim Hall - Live at North Sea
Bob Brookmeyer & Mads Vinding
Albert Mangelsdorff and his friends (album with different duo line-ups including Don Cherry, Elvin Jones....)
Nils Wogram - Housewarming (with pianist Bojan Z)
Nils Wogram - Freies Geröll (with guitarist Joe Sachse)

There's also a recording of George Lewis with a sax player. I think Anthony Braxton. But not 100% sure.

Art of the Duo is an incredible album as nearly every Mangelsdorff record.

I'm going to release a duo record with vibraphone next year. We recorded this a month or two ago, really happy with the results, looking forward to the release.

Search your preferred streaming music service for "Carl Fontana Live at the Royal Palms Inn" and you'll find several albums of Fontana playing duos with trumpet players Buddy Childers, Conte Candoli, and Steve Huffsteter.

Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to hear your recording!

Thanks! I meant duos with only two musicians, but this is really great stuff!

Hi Peter!

This track of Jiggs Whigham and John Clayton came to mind immediately. Doug Elliott introduced me to this CD.

Best regards,
Everett

To add this here, here's something I put out on Nils Wogram's label 2 months ago from my duo's debut album (trombone and vibraphone):

Valve trombone but great- Rob McConnel did an album called "Mutual Street" with the guitarist from the Boss Brass at the time, Ed Bickert. Just a very tasty in the pocket run through mostly standards.

That's not what this thread is about unfortunately.

There was a recent post of Natalie Cressman playing duo with a Brazilian guitarist; they have four albums together. They also both sing. The music is great!

hmmm pretty famous guys on a pretty unknown recording (recorded 1982, came out in 2022)

This is a gold mine of a thread. There's tons of albums with trombone + X as the front line, but y'all have mentioned most of the ones I know about. The only thing I can think of now is the duet track on JJ's _Quintergy_ album with JJ and Wynton playing "For Dancers Only."

Found another track: "Union 2: Brotherly Love" off Robin Eubanks' _Mental Images_ album. Anyone else know of other Robin/Kevin duet tracks?

If anyone knows where this can be streamed/purchased these days, let me know. I got my copy from a used record store back when I was in college, then ripped it to WAV/FLAC/MP3.

I'll also see if I can dig up my copies of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz with Steve Turre and with J.J. Johnson. Most of the cuts are with a rhythm section (Rufus Reid or Gary Mazzaroppi on bass), but I believe there are some duet numbers. If anyone knows how to find a reliable episode listing, let me know: I just have the episodes I was able to pull off the radio while the show was airing.
