[Trombone-l] And...Sam Burtis w/The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, Egypt(!!!) 2/14-19

[sabutin]

Yup...

The SJMO is going to Egypt to play Ellington music.

Lovely.

Who'd 'a thunk it.

On a State Department-sponsored tour.

Proof positive that the NeoCon age is just about over.

Thanks be praised!!!

Anyway...I don't suppose there are all that many trombonists on the 
list from the Cairo area, but still...Israel is a relatively short 
plane ride away, and Turkey, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Croatia, 
etc....not so far away either. LOTS of brass traditions north of 
Greece.

I have a round trip air ticket from the U.S. to Cairo.

Anyone want an itinerant trombonist? Teacher, performer, clinician, 
etc? Any time during a week or less on either side of that trip?

Have horn, will travel, and the airfare would be much less than if I 
was coming from the States, so's I can work for a reasonable fee.

Email  me.
