[Trombone-l] Andy Martin Feb. 23 in Dallas

[john wasson]

I completely second (third?) Richard's and Eric's comments on Andy. I  
first fell in love with his playing on his solo CD recorded with the  
Metropole Orchestra from the Netherlands. I'd highly recommende  
picking up this CD; besides Andy's fabulous fabulous playing, the  
orchestra is wonderful with top-notch charts as well. I have several  
of their recordings with various artists (Bob Brookmeyer,  Jiggs,  
Bill Holman, etc.)

Another amazing thing about Andy is that, when he's not playing solos  
with Gordon Goodwin's band, he's playing lead--no small feat in  
itself on those charts!
