Trombone/Keys player originally from England. I have played all different types of music with hundreds of different players. Started playing at age 10 and went to music school in Manchester England. In my time there, i had the opportunity to play with many great up an coming players. Those include, John Escreet, Gwilym Simcock, Johhny Spall, Ben Bryant, James Gardiner-Bateman to name a few.
