May 19, 2012 — The Los Angeles Trombone Collective performs an all trombone concert of new works including four compositions by members of the ensemble: Kevin Austin, Matt Barbier, Adam Dippre, and Tyler Jordan; John Cage’s Solo for Sliding Trombone in 4.0 stereo; a piece for trombone quartet and electronics by Julian Valdivieso; and Tommy Pederson’s unpublished masterpiece, Cogent Caprice (1971), featuring James Miller (jamestmiller.net), principal trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This performance will take place at 8pm at the wulf (thewulf.org) and is FREE to the public.

The LA Trombone Collective will perform Tommy Pederson’s (1920–1998) unpublished masterpiece, Cogent Caprice, which has been passed down by trombonists since the ‘70s via xeroxed copies in the composer’s hand. The piece features a solo trombone accompanied by four tenor trombones and two bass trombones. Tommy Pederson was an exemplary trombonist in every genre and recorded a wide variety of studio repertoire. Perhaps his largest contribution, Pederson composed and arranged over 300 titles, most of them pertaining to the trombone.

Founded by Adam Dippre in 2011, the Los Angeles Trombone Collective comprises a wide amalgamation of student, amateur, and professional trombonists in the southern California area who are in pursuit of a higher level of community involvement and camaraderie. With such a large pool of willing trombonists the ensemble can perform with as many as thirty-five. The LA Trombone Collective gave its debut performance last November, featuring legendary studio bass trombonist Bill Reichenbach.
