Hi! My name is Karin and welcome to my space!I work as a professional tromboneplayer in Stockholm, Sweden, where I freelance in the fields of jazz, salsa, pop, bossa nova and similar styles. I work mostly in Sweden, but I also travel a lot from time to time, both with different bands and as a soloist with local groups. At the moment, I have one steady band: Sliding Hammers, wich is a band I have together with my sister Mimmi. I also work with different projects with a lot of different musicians in for example France, South Africa and Norway.(And Sweden of cause!) I released one CD in my own name: "Karin Hammar Good Vibe Project" (Prophone/Naxos), where I have written and arranged all music. With Sliding Hammers, we released 3 CD´s (please visit www.slidinghammers to read and listen more...!)
Hope you will enjoy my stuff!
