If anyone is interested and live around Morehead State University (in Morehead Kentucky) Joseph Alessi is going to be at the 3rd annual trombone day. Its really late, but registration must be postmarked by Wednesday, April 9th. You can find the form and more info on the website

It'll be worth it--as said in the subject, Joseph Alessi will be there doing the master class and so forth

i wish i could go, joe alessi is one of my favorite trombone players, but i live in washington and kentucky is a little far. haha
it would be a great experience though...to learn from a master and all the other musicians around you...
they should have something similar in washington...except maybe with christian lindberg...

They both will be at Slide Factory'09 next March, along with Michel Becquet, Jorgen van Rijen and other guys...Oh but..well, it's in Rotterdam, Netherlands lol...whish I could go there...
