Mr. Jefferson’s Bones has entertained thousands since its inception in 2001. The ensemble is comprised of some of the Shenandoah Valley and Charlottesville's most experienced and talented trombonists and enjoys performing a wide variety of classical, sacred, popular and jazz repertoire. |
In 2008, the group added two new members, John Hollenbeck (former principal trombonist of the Long Beach, CA Symphony Orchestra and a L.A. session musician), and Tom McKenzie (noted area trombonist and valley band leader). John and Tom join founding members Gary Elwell (former trombonist with the U.S. Army Band of Washington D.C.), and bass trombonist Robert Mott, whose arrangements and compositions for the ensemble have been published by Cimarron Music Press. |
Notable performances have included headlining Staunton’s “Jazz in the Park” 2006 summer concert series; developing and presenting a worship musical entitled, "God's Trombones: Jazz and the Gospel" with guest trombonist and recording artist Harry Watters; school assembly concerts for K-12 students; holiday and ground-breaking concert appearances for the Paramount Theater and the Omni Hotel; and numerous other local events. |
