today's band:
Bonerama
The highly anticipated debut effort from this unique group of New Orleans trombonists is in the form of a live record recorded earlier in the year at the Old Point Bar in the New Orleans community of Algiers. "Bonerama LIVE at the Old Point" features the 5 trombone +rhythm section group in an exciting hour of spirited musical diversity showcasing the trombone as a serious contender for the "coolest instrument of the decade" award. These trombones collectively blast through several heavy groove funk numbers
My Notes:
Bonerama appears to be 5 trombones and a tuba. there names are Craig Klein, Rick Trolsen, Mark Mullins, Matt Perrine, Brian O'Neill, Steve Suter. Well, "The hottest group to hit New Orleans in years" - Where Y'at Apr. 2001
