For many more pictures of angels playing trombone, see Angel Trombonists Throughout History: 50 Images. c. 1610—Loreto, Italy: Artist Cristoforo Roncalli, known as “Pomarancio,” makes a set of preparatory red chalk drawings for a [...]

Late-Night Practicing: When the Neighbors Have Had Enough
I’ve enjoyed the good fortune of having some pretty patient family members and neighbors who tolerate my sometimes late-night practice sessions. The below trombonist, on the other hand, seems to have pushed his luck too far. The image and caption can also be found in the 19th century timeline. 1838—L’Enragé Musicien, a lithograph by [...]

Trombonist in Costume
Ever had to wear a costume to a gig? I just added the below caption and image to the 16th century trombone history timeline. Now those are some costumes. 1591—Dresden, Germany: A group of elaborately-costumed musicians, documented by artist Daniel Bretschneider, includes a trombonist. The group is part of a larger procession celebrating the baptism of [...]
Short Trombonist

It is a print by a respected German artist, apparently produced in one of his more whimsical moments. At 6’4″, I am often asked if you need to be tall to be a trombonist. The answer [...]
