Absolute Trombone
Composed, Arranged and Produced by Michael Davis

Absolute Trombone began as an idea to take the trombone beyond its traditional boundaries. We have ventured into unchartered water, while at the same time given a musical nod of acknowledgment and appreciation to the greatness of trombone past.

Absolute Trombone has brought together New York's finest trombonsits and featured their incredible skills in a variety of personalised musical showcases.

Absolute Trombone comes to you, the listener, as a celebration of the pure beauty of our instrument. I like to think of it as the state of the art in New York trombone -1997. Listen and see if you don't agree. - Michael Davis
