Hey everyone, hoping your all good.

I'm not too sure if anyone is aware of this resource so thought worth sharing this amazing website belonging
to Mike Barone in LA. Mike is an Arranger / Composer / and was a prominent Trombone Player back
in the 50/60's playing with the finest.

Mike has loads of Free arrangements in PDF format for a wide range of groups ( Trumpets with Rhythm section )
( Trombones with Rhythm section ) together with a great range of Full Big band Charts from the many Albums
he has produced over the years, and Yes All free to download. Here is the link which I hope you will find most
useful. Lots of video Recordings with these great arrangements as well.

A big thanks to Mr. Barone for this.

Wow! Thanks for posting this!

Mike is a great guy so I'm not that surprised that he has done this. And he's a wonderful writer, so I'm sure this is all good stuff. Mike had the good fortune to do all those Trombone Unlimited records with Frank Rosolino back in the '60s, and that led to a great career during which he wrote hundreds of excellent charts.

We should all take advantage of Mike's generosity. I know I'm going to!

Thanks, Al.

Thanks! I know a few other players that will enjoy this too!

I struck up some email conversations with Mike Barone during the pandemic, having emailed him and thanking him for his wonderful work on the old 'Trombones Unlimited' albums that my parents bought me as a young kid...that was the most inspiring music! Still is fantastic!

You can buy his Trombone/Guitar live jazz album. Beautiful! What a truly underated/underappreciated talent! The album is from a live concert in Vancouver, WA.

I had a teacher in Vancouver (BC!), Dave Robbins (Harry James, LA studios, later becoming a Canadian legend), who had lived and worked in LA for years and kept in touch with all his friends down there who were the 'establishment'.

He really dug Mike Barone, and mentioned him during some lessons as one of the best musicians around.

Check out Mike's jazz playing. Really unique and interesting and composing as he's going! Amazing technique.

(EDIT: Hmmm..... I don't see his Trombone/Gtr duo album for sale anymore. Must be somewhere!)j
