Love the Finlandia! Did you arrange this? Curious choice to have the trombone go up chromatically on that chord (0:41, 0:54). ;)Beautiful playing though! I am not so far away east, maybe I'll catch you guys when I'm that way sometime! :)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, that's my arrangement of "Finlandia". If you are ever in the area and get to hear us play, be sure to stop by and say hello.

Lovely lyrical playing - great sound.

There are a lot of ensemble clips out there that loose the idea of the lower lines being stronger so the upper parts can float on top. - The trombone player here is superb and this is a great example of a pyramid sound that I love!

Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

i am a big fan of Randys playing but the trombone player on this vid wasn't as strong the two trumpet players...
