I heard Gracie Potter play Appermont's "Colors" with the Army Band on the final concert at the American Trombone Worksop Friday night. It was some of the best music (as well as trombone playing) that I've heard in a long time. Really an amazing performance on every level.

Right here at 1:49:00. The recording is great, but her sound live was so amazing.

Wonderful performance of a wonderful piece of trombone literature! Appermont's Colors has been one of my favorites for a long time.

They have certainly been mentioned before, but I really really like the Bones Apart quartet. Great music, very very well played and with a great sound that's to a degree "British" to my ears.
