University of Illinois Jazz Trombone Ensemble
Here's a video of me performing with the University of Illinois Jazz Trombone Ensemble at the 2017 American Trombone Workshop after winning the National Jazz Trombone Ensemble Competition. The entire set was either written or arranged by members of the group and you can hear two of my original compositions, "The H is O" and "Duneden," at 3:51 and 44:12, respectively.
The Jazz Trombone Ensemble also won the International Trombone Association Kai Winding Competition in 2017 and the American Trombone Workshop Competition again the following year.
I hope you enjoy the performance!
