Alright, who are some of your top funk trombonists to listen to - either for soloing or horn section work? And why? Big names as well as more unknown gems.

I'll get us started with some obvious ones to get them out of the way

:

Fred Wesley
Trombone Shorty
Dennis Rollins
Big Sam
Nils Landgren

Greg Boyer. I’d like to see what he’s been up to lately, he has played with George Clinton, Maceo Parker, Prince, Larry Graham and a lot more. I think he’s in the DC area?

Out of Boston? I was just thinking about him this morning! I’ve played some of his Otis Grove collaboration tracks live.
