This page contains information about all of my favorite brass players and links to their sites .  On these sites you'll find playing tips and insights from the leading brass players in the world today.  Many of these sites (Doug Yeo's and Ben van Dijk's for example) contain entire warm-up routines and practice material and it's all free.  These are great resources for any brass player.

Bass Trombone
-Check out this great website by Douglas Yeo, bass trombonist of the Boston Symphony.
It's one of the most comprehensive pages out there, with lots of great resources and free information including printable orchestral excerpts and MP3 files.  Quite simply it's one of the best sites of its kind on the web, and has won awards from several music education organizations.

-This is another great site by Dave Taylor, one of the most versatile bass trombonists in New York City.

-Here is something a little different.  The Bassliner is the homepage of Ben van Dijk, bass trombonist of the Rotterdam Philharmonic.  If bass trombone isn't big enough for you, this is your site.  In addition to playing bass trombone,  Mr. van Dijk is also proficient on contrabass trombone.  If you've never seen pictures of a contrabass, I suggest you check out this site.  It's really something to see, not even to mention hear.   This site is a little different because it gives the unique perspective of how they do things overseas in a European orchestra.

-If you want to have a look at something completely different, this is it.  Nicholas Eastop is the bass trombonist of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the instrument Curator at Musikmuseet, The Stockholm Music Museum.  His page is devoted to the F Bass Trombone, and contains great information and some really marvelous pictures of this rather interesting though uncommon instrument.

-This is the official website of Christian Lindberg.  If you've never heard him play you're really missing something.  He started his career as a symphonic trombone player, and went on to make brass history by becoming the world's first full time trombone soloist.

-Looking for a particular trombonist?  René Laanen's Trombone Page of the World would be a good place to start.  Here you can do a search and find the contact information, bios, links and pictures of over 4000 trombonists around the world.

- Dizzy Gillespe, who was not only one of the greatest musicians to ever pick up a trumpet, but one one of the greatest jazz musicians who ever lived.  He, along with Charlie Parker, founded the bebop era in jazz.  His work influenced later players such as Miles Davis and Thad Jones as well as players of other instuments, who began to use his lines in their own improvisations.

-Charles Schlueter is the principal trumpet of the Boston Symphony.  If you want to see something a little different, check out his trumpet by David Monette.  Not something you see everyday.

-Jim Self is a studio/freelance tubist in Los Angles.  His page, Basset Hound Music, not only has a great look but also has some interesting pictures of his instruments, including a combination valve/slide bass trombone.
