Surprised no one has mentioned:

One of the best sounding big band jazz trombonists ever - Jack Teegarden. I worked with one of his relatives.

Also Urbie Green is another great jazz trombonists. Was fortunate to meet him with my jazz teacher at the Gaslight Club in Chicago in the early '70s.

Another fabulous jazz trombonist not mentioned is Phil Wilson.

Last year got to play with Harry Waters and he is simply a superb jazz trombonist. Really worth hearing and a really nice guy.

Bill Allred and his son John are fine trombonists. John also plays a mean euphonium. On tuba don't forget Howard Johnson in NY, Eli Newberger in Boston, Red Lehr in St. Louis and Matt Perrine in New Orleans. There's also some guy who plays tuba in the Galvanized Jazz Band...

Urbie Green, trombone
Howard Johnson, tuba
Steve Turre, trombone (and shells!)
Bill Watrous, trombone

check out the recording
Michael Davis, Absolute Trombone, a veritable who's who plays on it.

also check out Bonerama, a killer bone band from NOLA, also with a monster sousa player on bass.

There is a great christmas album:
Hollywood Trombones, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

I'll second that! Andy is a tremendous jazz trombonist, as a matter of fact, the entire Martin family (Andy, Scott, Stan, and their father Dave), are all fabulous jazz musicians.
