High Anxiety Bones
Andrew Hicks (bass trombone), High Anxiety Bones
Here is a delightful sound - four trombones; mellow, rich. Admittedly, this will have appeal mainly to your customer who enjoys brass music. Hopefully, they will give this disc a try.

Reviews

"Add High Anxiety Bones to the rather small list of trombone quartets who have made excellent recordings. Based in the Cleveland area, the group dropped its bland Ohio Trombone Quartet name for one that often describes a performer's state of mind. No hint of anxiety can be heard in this superb recording, though....The sound produced by High Anxiety Bones fits my own concept of the ideal trombone-quartet sound - more varied than the four-equal-voices sound of the Summit Brass trombones, less varied than the Datura Trombones....The group plays beautifully in tune and is a true pleasure to hear."
