James Markey, virtuoso bass trombonist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has recorded a suite of three Stereograms by David William Brubeck, for unaccompanied bass trombone on a new cd! On the heels of his performance of the suite in recital at the International Trombone Festival, Markey has added the selections to his already impressive and growing repertoire of solo material.
Stereograms have been described as ‘Bobby McFerrin meets the Bach Cello Suites’ and are rhythmic etudes which contain self accompaniment and give the aural illusion of two, three or even four separate parts within a single melodic line.
Over 50 have been published by the International Trombone Association Press, Cherry Classics, in international journals and on-line.
