Don
Anderson: Trombone
Was originally from Pittsburgh, PA, but now lives in East Texas for which we in the East Texas Jazz Orchestra are grateful. Don studied trombone with Matty Shiner, Duquesne University for nine years. We are so glad to have him as a part of our group.
As a professional freelance musician for more than ten years, Don has performed in orchestras backing people like Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Red Fox, The Temptations, The Carpenters, Mel Torme, The Manhattan Transfer, The Jimmy Dorsey Band, and Nancy Wilson.
He attended the University of Miami, Florida and majored in biology with a minor in music. He holds a B.S. degree in Zoology from Ohio State University, a M.A. degree in National Strategy and Policy from the Naval War College, and a M.S. degree in Management from the Newport College.
Don played his first performance with us on our “Winter Concert” April 4, 2008. Don is welcome addition to our trombone section.
