I created a setlist of four solos from Grachan Moncur III from 1963 in chronological order. Enjoy!

Pregame photo of some of the brass before the Austin FC away game at FC Dallas. Very long bus ride out and back for the away supporters, but glad to make it.

Ended up being a heartbreaker with Dallas scoring the winning goal in stoppage time at the 97th minute.

My little girl is going in to year 2 at school and she’ll get the chance to start learning a #MusicalInstrument for free. We have talked a little over the summer about which #OrchestralInstrument she might want to learn.

She says #Trombone like her brother at the moment.

🏁️🎶️⚡️Ska Swing!!.. 🎺️🎹️ ⚡️🎶️🏁️

Otro excelente y exquisito #Ska instrumental como debe de ser, por parte de esta banda Venezolana llamada 5ta. avenida Ska-Jazz, para que vean que en Latinoamérica si se produce buena música, que si bien esta algo oculta pero esta ahí para quien tiene buen gusto.
que la disfruten!

Here's my latest for the Arts Fuse: a review of the Javier Nero Jazz Orchestra's "Kemet [The Black Land]" and The Las Vegas Boneheads' "Sixty and Still Cookin'." Lots of troboney goodness.

Doing another #introduction post as I've moved to lounge.town! I'm a human who loves weird art, all sorts of music (from Hindustani to Death Metal), tech, sunny days, green hills, incense, tea, spirits, soft couches, cats, and books. I cook, design, code, write, play games, and produce, write, and play music for fun.

also I got the hang of the Shilke 59 / MK Drawing GR50 lead pipe / Getzen 1052FDR #basstrombone setup through the season. I hit some phat pedals I'm proud of. I asked the composer of one chart if I could crackle a forte pedal G into the band on a mezzoforte ending and he got excited. nailed it #trombone

Interview: Alan Ferber: Enneadic Endeavors

When Alan Ferber was first finding his way as a Californian-turned-New Yorker near the dawn of the new millennium, he didn't know many people on his adopted scene. So logically, he used composing—for nonet, among other configurations—as a means for networking and fostering connections. #jazz #trombone

That bittersweet feeling you get awaiting answers from #literary agents when #querying your latest #newbook manuscript can be a bit much. I tend to let the time pass with quick and silly #music arrangements... and yes, that's a #kitchen #whisk as my hi-hat 😉

Brass sectional practice tonight. We have a lot of fun at these! We started at 8pm, so it was down to a delightful 97 degrees F or so 😂. #brass #trombone

Pregame at the watch party for the Austin FC game! It was still about 97F at 7:15pm, but we had a decent breeze going through. It was a fun game to watch. #AustinFC #Austin #trombone #brass

We had fun at the watch party at Austin Beerworks for Austin FC last night (the team was playing away at Minnesota). We jumped up to play an impromptu celebration when Fagundez scored in the 35th minute! Very happy with the 4-1 win!
