The AllMusic review by arwulf arwulf noted: Ten Trombones Like Two Pianos consists of 12 grooved up slip-horn routines delivered by eight tenor and two bass trombones with stylish rhythm accompaniment. ... delightfully suave, sophisticated and relaxing. ... will appeal directly to those who crave late-'50s mainstream jazz, Hollywood production and crisp, cool lounge music. arwulf arwulf album mw0001586334 Ten Trombones Like Two Pianos – Review October 6, 2016
