Trombone “en masse”
Meanwhile Mattias stayed home, lying sick with a terrible cold after the police event, I went down to meet one of my clients downtown for a photo shoot. I am currently working with a girl launching her new corporate business as song writer. the web site shilloh.com is about to launch the first of April including logo, photos, business cards, email templates, t-shirts, DVD cover and promotional materials. Big project. After spending two hours inside Samy’s Camera, the biggest photography related store I’ve ever seen, buying stuff for a good 800 dollars worth I went with Christine to the museum park to shoot. We had a wonderful day there and made some great looking photos.
When I finished downtown I drove to pick Mattias up. Time for concert! Yes, we are trombone players both of us and have to hear everything there is. Period. Yesterday John Fedchock was playing at Charlie O’s so we went there. Bob McChesney and some other people was there listening as well which was fun. Fellow trombone players see fellow colleagues, that’s the way it works. He flew in from New York so people don’t want to miss it. John is a remarkable trombone player, good technical control and nice lines.
Meanwhile we listened I ran over and got the LA jazz scene paper and found out that we had a chance to see Bill Watrous the same evening over at Spazio. After a two minute discussion we decided to get over there. We have our car now so no worries. Bill Watrous!! we have both listened to him since our birth. One of our true heroes! This was our only chance to see him. 
We even got to talk to him, a great guy. He had trouble with the sound system on stage so it was tough to hear him properly, but GOD what a player he is. He still plays incredible. The most relaxed trombone player I have ever seen. Effortless mastery. Fast stuff and beautiful ballads. To be over 70 years old he still rocks the house! Check that embouchure out!
