"A soli" contradicts itself in a way, at least if you speak Italian. Of course, "threesome" has some connotation that not always accurately conveys the meaning.Ben, that's a solo, not a soli. I'm just sayin...

I like the brilliant soli section in John Cage's 4' 33". It starts at about 2 minutes.

Rickroll, the WF way .That's two minutes of my life I will never get back!
This one is near the top of my list. Composed by my buddy Jerome Richardson who is playing his old silver plated mk6 soprano on this. Another buddy on this band is Eddie Bert, the trombonist 2nd from the left. Eddie played in my band at the Tavern On The Green in NYC from 2001 till 2004. He also worked with Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Stan Kenton, the Dick Cavett show, and a million other gigs. Eddie's still working and playing great.
The reeds here are Jerome and Jerry Dodgion on altos, Joe Henderson and Eddie Daniels on tenor, and Pepper Adams on bari. Not too shabby, eh?
I would nominate Duke Ellington's 1940 recording of "Cottontail," with it's very extensive and very swinging reed chorus. Otto "Toby" Hardwick and Johnny Hodges on altos, Barney Bigard and Ben Webster on tenor, and Harry Carney on bari. I don't have a link for this, maybe someone can find one?
