Hello all,
I'm arranging some jazz pieces for a quintet which includes viola and
tenor trombone. What are the keys that players of those instruments
tend to enjoy playing in the most?
Thanks.

A fine trombonist friend of mine once told me that he prefered the
sharp keys esp. A, E, and B major as examples. He said that in those
keys most notes never fall in 1st postion and therefore the player
has more versitility and flexibility for tuning, slide vibrato,
bending in and out of notes etc. Rather like using open strings on
the stringed instruments - it cramps the style somewhat.
Strings also prefer sharp keys, so you might just be able to keep
them all happy.
Interested to know what the other 3 instruments are...
