10 Websites of Orchestral Bass Trombone Players
Last week, I posted a resource of 10 Websites of Orchestral Principal Trombone Players. This week, I would like to highlight ten Bass Trombone players playing in full-time symphony orchestras. Growing up with a father who received his Doctorate in Bass Trombone, I have lived with the sound of the bass trombone in my mind for a long time. Many of the players listed below create the sounds I try to emulate in my playing, especially since I play the bass trombone on a regular basis. Be sure to check out their websites to stay current on their musical endeavors.
If you would like to stay in the loop for what is going on at Last Row Music, there are three avenues to get you there:
