Ted Heath's trombones

Post by NotATrumpet »

Who played in the trombone section for the UK's Ted Heath Big Band? I know Don Lusher did but I can't find any other names.

I'd never heard of Ted Heath or Don Lusher before but Discogs can give you some info. For instance this page lists 3 trombonists on Ted Heath At The London Palladium Vol. 4: https://www.discogs.com/master/855466-T ... dium-Vol-4

Besides Lusher it lists:
* Ric Kennedy
* Wally Smith
* Jimmy Coombes

Discogs has some more info about Jim Coombes https://www.discogs.com/artist/1377965-Jimmy-Coombes
