10 trombones like 2 pianos
As a high school kid in the early 60s, this is my first exposure to what trombones could do. Especially bass trombones. I have heard, from anecdote, that this was one of Bill Reichenbach’s favorite albums to listen to

I believe the original record album was to promote stereo phonic sound. If you had a good stereo, the left and right speakers featured each half of the trombones. It was incredible

Urbie Green did a 21 trombone album http://urbiegreen.com/?page_id=16. I had the Jay and Kai Octet album and my friend had the Green album. Fun listening parties.
