Ted Heath's trombones
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.

Re: Ted Heath's trombones
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
Profile: British jazz trombonist.
Born : 1907 (or) 1908 in England.
Died : 1993 in Vancouver, Canada.
Jimmy played with : Geraldo (during World War II) and Ted Heath Orchestra (1945-1960).
In 1965 emigrated in Canada (Vancouver), where he taught at the University Of British Columbia, played with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (until he retired in 1973).
