About Me

Trombone and bass instrumentalist. About 25 years of professional arranging and book writing. Played trombone for Al Hirt, Bob Hope, Allan Toussaint, "Deacon" John Moore, and many, many more. I am currently, the musical director and chief arranger for Eddie Lebrón's "La Sonora de Orlando", arguably the best Salsa Band in Central Florida.I live in Altamonte Springs, Florida, about 12 min. from Downtown Orlando, and I arrange for various churches, musical groups and for www.brokenslidemusic.com, the best source of written transcriptions of Salsa Band Music. You can get some of my transcriptions for well know salsa classics and merengue and bolero standards for a ridiculous price ($20.00).My Book, "Caribbean Duets", for trumpet or for trombone, is out and beign promoted at the same site.I will be building my page a little at a time. Hope my friends will help me. Until always. I love you all...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Musicians from all over the country. I want to exchange ideas and promote my arrangements, all Christian and Secular. I want to meet Salsa Band Directors that I can help with my expertise on the matter, and humbly offer my services to them. I would like to meet good people in general, and if you are a musician, that's a plus.
