The bottom paragraph was about Company. Thanks for the info.

About Kiss Me Kate, Sebesky orchestrations; I get this from a former student of his -

When talking about brass mutes and woodwind changes, Sebesky was insistent that his students leave enough time to change comfortably. However, this former student played a lot of Sebesky arrangements, and found that he was one of the worst offenders for NOT leaving enough time to change! A classic case of do as I say, not as I do. 8-)

I'm not sure if the paragraph below is about Kiss Me, Kate or Company. In Company, with Brooks on horn, was Jay Shanman on tenor trombone (who played that Side By Side solo 8 times a week for over a year!), still a great player, I play trombone trios with him almost every week. (If there was a bass trb for
Company, I'm thinking it might have been Larry Benz.)
The Kiss Me, Kate on B'way a couple of years back had 1 bone, Bruce Eidam, another fantastic player... both for playing the part and for speed-juggling the
mute changes.

My old friend Johnny Tunick orchestrated that show.  There's a D. A.
Pennebaker video of the recording session for that show in which you
can see who is playing in the band.  I recognize Joel Kaye in one of
the reed chairs, Brooks Tillotson and Dick Berg in the horn section,
and a couple of the trumpet players, but I don't recognize the
trombone guys. >>
