I'm a versatile trombonist in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. I play tenor or bass trombone for classical, jazz, salsa or commercial style music. I have performed with numerous world-renowned professionals including Grammy Nominated trombonist Wayne Wallace, Grammy award-winning composer and LA studio musician Gordon Goodwin, Juilliard Professor of Cello Bonnie Hampton and Grammy award-winning saxophonist and composer Dr. Aaron Lington.
Additionally, I am well connected to many great musicians and am available to contract brass quintets, quartets, small orchestras, jazz bands or combos of various sizes for any entertainment need.
My father’s memorial and celebration of life went well thanks to many, including Andrew. He was flexible and gracious when we needed him to stop. I enjoyed the singing asked for How Great Thou Are. Very professional service!
He knew exactly what we wanted and he delivered BIG TIME. Thank you Andrew and thank you Gig Salad.
