Trombone Repertoire

I have been pursuing quality material for the tenor trombone my entire career. This on-going investigative process led quite naturally to my engagement with the composer community in New York and beyond, and to my activities as a curator and organizer. And, for the past 7 years, I've been adding to that "material" as a composer. This list is an aesthetic bibliography, informing all that I do. [CJM]
