Joe Fiedler/Trombone and Voice

This past August marked the 50th anniversary of a landmark moment in the development of contemporary trombone playing: Albert Mangelsdorff’s first solo trombone performance at the Jazz Now! Festival in Munich in 1972. Though Mangelsdorff already was a European jazz celebrity, his appearance at Jazz Now! broadened the public’s understanding of the possibilities of the instrument and inspired many generations of trombone experimenters, including Joe Fiedler. Fiedler has chosen to mark the anniversary of Mangeldorrf’s appearance at Jazz Now! by celebrating the release of his own contribution to the advancement of trombone solo performance on Solo/The Howland Sessions.
