Trombone/Guitar Duos?

[Justin V]

Last year, I tracked down Joe Pass and J.J. Johnson's We'll Be Together Again.  The combination of guitar and trombone, especially in the hands of two of the greatest, is quite appealing.  Are there any other trombone/guitar duos out there?

Jim Hall & Bob Brookmeyer "Live at the Northsea Jazz Festival" (Challenge) is exceptional.

I figured Albert Mangelsdorff would be a trombonist who'd do that sort of thing.  I immediately thought of Zo-Ko-Ma, a trio record he made with Attila Zoller and Lee Konitz. ... Almost there but one too many musicians. 

After some poking around on discogs, I found this:

It's a 7" Metronome EP that anticipates Mangelsdorff & Koller's collaboration with Lee Konitz by 11 years.

There are three selections by a duo of George Masso and Bucky Pizzarelli on the George Masso album "Pieces of Eight" (Dreamstreet DR108).  I don't have it and, if fact, don't think I've ever heard it.

Good call, similar instrumentation is this long time favourite of mine:

[edit] Now, it would be cool if Lewis and Frisell did a duo session. [whew... saved ]

Rob McConnell and Ed Bickert made a duo record called "Mutual Street".

There are three excellent Mangelsdorff / Scofield tracks (around 20 mins total) on this live release: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Int-Jazzfestival-M%C3%BCnster/release/5063934 . 

Also, in a more adventurous direction, there was a fantastic two trombones / two guitars quartet (Conrad Bauer, Johannes Bauer, Joe Sachse, Uwe Kropinski) called Doppelmoppel. They had three releases, all are highly recommended: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1840346-DoppelMoppel .

And there is indeed a Mangelsdorff / Zoller duo - one track on this album: https://www.discogs.com/Albert-Mangelsdorff-Albert-Mangelsdorff-And-His-Friends/master/334713

Yes, a nice one here.

3 tracks by Albert and Scofield.

It was mentioned. Dammit.

Frank Rosolino recorded with Ed Bickert in Toronto in the early/mid 70s, but I'm not sure they ever did a duet. Used bass and drums. Still some very nice music.

came here to post all of what you and colin mentioned! I have in mind a Rutherford/Bailey or Lewis/Bailey somewhere but not sure if it actually exists as part of Company, Iskra 1903, or some other context.

I think there might be something in Günter Christmann's discography as well but I'll have to dig around and look for it.

Christmann with John Russell:

The CD edition from the Im Ruckblick box includes most of Thrumblin' 

Good call on Christmann/Russell!

Couple more with McConnell, Bickert and a bassist

P.S. that Brookmeyer-Jim Hall record is exceptional indeed.

Thanks for the recommendations so far.  I like Trio Sketches.
