"of course she can listen to Artie Shaw."

whew! The Concerto is a classic for demonstrating some pretty important jazz techniques (glissandi, etc). Another, maybe even better, 'pre-version' can be found on the 1938 Paul Whiteman Carnegie Hall concert--it's called 'The Blues' or sometimes titled 'St Louis Blues', and was a prototype for the 'Concerto.' Artie sketched the arrangement, came in for the performance, and left before he could take a curtain call--off to another gig across town. Fortunately it's been preserved on an aircheck.

Nice collection, by the way--don't be afraid to let the kids hear the avant garde stuff. One of my kids, at age seven, couldn't get enough of Song X (Pat Metheny/Ornette Coleman).

For trombone: The Great Kai & JJ (Kai Winding and JJ Johnson). A classic. And anything with Bootie Wood in the Count Basie Band.
