Hotel California is probably the best known -- and possibly best, period -- song from the Eagles, from the album of the same title. It's on everybody's list of greatest songs ever. The unending guitar solo that fades out to end the song -- by Hotel composer Don Felder and Joe Walsh -- gets a nod here with 16 bars of trombone solo. OK, it's not quite the same thing. Nor is any of it. But you try to get a ringing 12-string guitar sound out of a couple of trumpets and a French horn.
I think it's at least recognizable, and maybe even presentable. But no brass quintet will pass for the Eagles.
