Accomplished Jazz Trombonist Looking for Playing Partners

Charlottesville VA

Description

I am a former professional trombonist, improvisor, and composer looking for playing partners. I am particularly interested in playing jazz standards and originals, and free improvisation. All instruments and backgrounds welcome. I would especially like to connect with bassists and drummers who like to swing. I am technically proficient, have great ears, and can sight-read charts. I have a conservatory degree and played professionally full-time for ten years based in NYC, performing hundreds of shows in a variety of musical contexts including small group jazz of all styles, free improvisation and experimental music, rock/soul/funk/RnB horn section leader, big band jazz, la musica salsa, afrobeat/dub/reggae, and freelance/wedding/Top-40 bands. I know a lot of tunes and can learn anything quickly. I am currently working long hours and co-parenting two kids so time is limited. Gigs are welcome and I'd be happy to help find paying gigs and other playing opportunities once we connect. Open to ideas. Busking is fun as well. Would love to hear from anyone interested, please don't hesitate to reach out if you are!
