I can remember George Chisholm, but he’s the only one I can think of. That doesn’t surprise me, I can’t imagine why anyone would learn the trombone.

I’m still not completely convinced trombones are necessary, Psmith.

Do things have to be necessary though?

The only one I can think of is Ian McNamara and I can’t stand his Sunday morning radio show, he has been on far too long. Put him out to pasture Auntie please.
His appeal is a complete mystery to us.He’s a charmless idiot with no discernible talent what so ever.I didn’t realize he was supposed to be a trombonist.You don’t get many of them in Country and Western.

Not necessarily. 
I didn’t realise he played the trombone, Tabby. And he is pretty famous.

Tommy Dorsey was a famous trombonist. My brother Jonathan played trombone really well also. That’s better worded.

It doesn’t count unless he becomes famous, Bratti. 
Does to me. 
Then I suggest you start a thread about unknown trombonists.
No thank you. I’m fine thanks.
Jack Teagarden was not just famous, he was a legendary jazz trombonist. The following recording of Georgia on my mind by Hoagy Carmichael & His Orchestra feature Jack on Trombone, the first great white jazz musician Bix Biederbeck, who is probably the greatest Cornet player of all time, as his notes were so pure. Pee Wee Russell & Jimmy Dorsey also feature in the orchestra.
Chris Barber was a famous player…
Don Lusher was one I remember from Joe Loss when I sang part-time in front of the band in the 70’s and I’ve found an example of his blowing.
