This is remarkably close to Bach's Brandenberg Concerto number 3, 
2nd movement.

Bach only wrote two chords for the entire second movement, the rest is
meant to be an improvised harpsichord candenza.  And since it's
actually in G, having the trombone wail over a vamp on G for 16 bars
would be completely reasonable.
