New Game Brass Album - Horns of Hyrule

I was super excited to be a part of this brand new album from Game Brass, Horns of Hyrule. For all you Legend of Zelda fans out there, you know exactly what this is! An ENTIRE album full of Zelda music! The tracks are from many different Legend of Zelda games including: The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and more.

I was happy to play bass trombone on the Gerudo Valley track, from my favorite game of all time, Ocarina of Time! I literally could not say no to this project. Daniel Romberger did a fabulous job on the 16-piece brass arrangement. The theme to Gerudo Valley grooves so hard, and it transforms you to another time and place. You can just feel those desert winds blowing across your face as you listen to this track.

The Horns of Hyrule album features over 40 brass musicians, and I was honored to be a part of it. Check out the video for Gerudo Valley below!

TROMBONE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY by Michael Davis // Quarantine Edition // w/ Dr. Jose Leonardo Leon

Watch Dr. Jose Leonardo Leon and I perform the famous Michael Davis trombone duet, Trombone Institute of Technology! This tune is a favorite of mine, as I am sure it is many of yours. So smooth, grooves so hard, and just lays so well on the trombone. For trombone players by trombone players - LOVE IT!!!

This is my first collab with Dr. Jose, he is a Bach Artist, killer bass trombone player and funny dude! He seriously had me cracking up editing his videos, haha! I am so happy I met him through Instagram while I was in Florida. That is one silver lining during this time - getting to meet so many amazing musicians online!

Trombone Institute of Technology (or TIT) is a favorite among the trombone community. It has been performed many, many times, both live and online. We knew if we were going to record this piece, we just had to put a special quarantine spin on it! We wanted to share what life as a musician has been like the past few months. This idea was inspired by Aubrey Logan, who made a hilarious quarantine video for her song, Tom Bradley International Terminal. Check out Aubrey’s video below:

Funny, huh?! hahaha

If you like that tune, I also did a transcription of it!

Since we posted our TIT video, I have had many people ask me for the sheet music. You can purchase the sheet music Michael Davis’ website here:

HAVANA by Camila Cabello // Trombone Quintet Cover Version with Cajón

When I was contacted by arranger Patrick Sullivan to record a trombone collaboration of Havana, I just had to say, “YES”! I absolutely love this song by Camila Cabello. It has a great melody, is very sultry sounding and makes me want to dance! I have performed Havana live before, but now I am super happy to have it as a trombone YouTube video on my channel! For this trombone version of Havana, we did a double release. Patrick and I both uploaded the video to our YouTube channels on the same day. Want more trombone videos? You can check out Patrick’s YouTube channel by clicking the link below. Help support you fellow trombonists! #teamtrombone

I mentioned that I have performed Havana live before. It was performed at DUT Laboratory #3 in Osaka, Japan. “What’s that?”, you ask. Check out the event in this video!
