    Here are three of the greatest trombone solos IMO. Listen to each one
    and rank them.

    I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra
    solo by Milt Bernhart

    Bee's Boogie - Smiley Lewis
    solo by Warren "Frog" Joseph
    https://youtu.be/DpUdcg6iw9E?t=37

    Doing It To Death - Fred Weasley & the JB's (James Brown)
    solo by Fred Wesley

    Okay, all three are awesome, but I am going:

    1 - Bee's Boogie - Smiley Lewis - solo by Warren "Frog" Joseph
    2 - I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra - solo by Milt Bernhart
    3 - Doing It To Death - Fred Weasley & the JB's (James Brown) - solo by
    Fred Wesley

    I for one am not, in general, keen on the trombone as a solo
    instrument.

    That's the point. A great trombone solo is a rare thing as there are not
    many trombone solos period. Especially from after the Big Band era like
    these three are.

    A little short, but solid.
