Arguably one of the most definitive trombone quartets out there, Four of a Kind is made up of Joe Alessi (Principal, New York Phill), Scott Hartman (Former Empire Brass, Professor at Yale), Mark Lawrence (Former Principal San Francisco), and Blair Bollinger (Bass Trombone, Philadelphia orchestra). The group hasn't been together for some time, but they have two CD's with definitive recordings of standard trombone repertoire to difficult arrangements. Both are linked below. These CD's are some of the finest trombone quartet playing to this day, and despite the fact they were released over 20 years ago, I imagine it will be a while before there's a group that can surpass this one.
