NEW YORK-BASED GRAMMY-WINNING JAZZ TROMBONIST ALAN FERBER HAS AMASSED AN IMPRESSIVE BODY OF WORK DEFINED BY HIS SINGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS AS A BANDLEADER AND HIS DEFT INSTINCTS AS A COLLABORATOR. HE HAS BEEN CALLED “ONE OF THE JAZZ WORLD’S PREMIER COMPOSERS AND ARRANGERS FOR LARGER GROUPS” (ALL ABOUT JAZZ-NY) AND CAN BE HEARD AS A TROMBONIST ON RECORDINGS RANGING FROM JAZZ (GERALD WILSON, TOSHIKO AKIYOSHI) TO INDIE ROCK (SUFJAN STEVENS, THE NATIONAL) TO ROCK/POP/WORLD (PAUL SIMON, PETER GABRIEL). THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE CONTINUES TO BLAZE HIS PATH FORWARD THROUGH WORK THAT REFLECTS TODAY’S WIDE RANGING MUSICAL LANDSCAPE, BROUGHT INTO CLEAR FOCUS BY AN ARTIST TRUE TO HIS CRAFT AND TO HIMSELF.
