[Trombone-l] Bass Trombone not in symphony orchestra

[eliezer aharoni]

Dear friends
for a project I am doing now I'd like some answers from bass trombonist who
play in any
"light" music ensembe.
The questions are:
1. What type of ensemble you play in? How many players? What instrumentation?
2. Is the music written? Name of arranger. Or- do you play memorized? Do
you improvize on the job? Do you remain in "tenor" register or utilize the
bass register while improvising?
3. What styles of music do your group play?
4. Tell me a little about your group - what type of jobs you play and
where, How was the group assembled and how much the group is in demand.

All this information can be very useful for the peoject so please forward
your answers directly to my e-mail.

Many thanks
