I'm wondering if there are any bands out there like the Streetswingers. I love this concept.

Is the instrument that causes the lack of answers? Is it the style of music? I know a group like this will not fill stadiums. I do know that there is a market for it. Think of sitting in your favorite cocktail lounge and hearing music like this. There's got to be groups out there doing this.

What, exactly, is "this"? The basic guitar+bass+one horn is quite common, but the one horn is usually a saxophone. Or are you referring specifically to a group using a valve trombone-ish instrument for their one horn?

I was asking about a trio using a flugabone or even trombone too. I"ve seen trumpet/flugelhorn solo or trio in small venues, but never a flugelbone/trombone. I ask people what they think and they like the latter sound better. So why not more of that going on? And if there are, who are they? I bought the group I featured's one album and really enjoy it.

It'd have to be the trombonist's band; otherwise, the other members would decide they could do without him. The contents of the tip jar go a lot farther split two ways than three.

I guess this ranks up there with the recent topic of why aren't there more trombone stars in jazz, or the one about improvisation by trombone players?
