Ben is the man! His student Brandt Attema is amazing as well. Both these guys have made a huge splash at ITF's.

I heard him play live in the Elgar Howarth arrangement of Pictures at an Exhibition at the RNCM Festival of Brass 2004 in Manchester (UK), great player and thoroughly decent bloke too!
The track is called Wagner for Bass Bones and is a great way to kick off a solo bass trombone CD. The CD is called First Song and we added it to our catalogue about a year ago. It's interesting to here the Lebedev Konzert on a bass bone rather than tuba.chris combest wrote:This is a recording of a 5-part version of some Wagner scored for tenor, bass and contrabass trombones, all parts are performed and overdubbed by van Dijk.
