I first heard Conrad Herwig in 1982. I had never heard the trombone played like that before and it scared the crap out of me while totally inspiring me at the same time. It still inspires me every time I hear him play now over 30 years later. I have had the good fortune of working with Conrad many times over the years including several years with Frank Sinatra’s band in the early ‘90s and on my own CDs, Absolute Trombone and Absolute Trombone II. He’s been a constant source of inspiration and hero to me for decades. I’m honored to call the great Conrad Herwig my friend.
