Melba Liston and Her 'Bones is the sole album led by trombonist, arranger and composer Melba Liston, recorded for the MetroJazz label in 1958.

The All About Jazz review by Hrayr Attarian states: "The leader's interplay with the other trombone players adds to the musical richness of the recording. Even in the company of high-quality, accomplished master musicians like these, her musical skills stand out. Her lyrical improvisations are melodic, clear and gay when she plays unmuted, and mysterious and warm when muted. This recording is one of the few places to hear Melba Liston solo".

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "there's much to enjoy and it's a feast for trombone lovers." - Wikipedia
