Ray Anderson with Steve Salerno

Ray Anderson (jazz trombone) and Steve Salerno (jazz guitar) have been performing in duo for the past 15 years. On Saturday, December 8, they perform original compositions and selected works of the Jazz repertoire.

Named five straight years as best trombonist in the Down Beat Critics Poll and declared “the most exciting slide brass player of his generation” by the Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD, Anderson has shown remarkable range. He has lead or co-lead a daunting assortment of tradition-minded and experimental groups, big bands, blues and funk projects and even a trombone quartet. He is recognized as an original and compelling composer. In the tradition of Louis Armstrong, he is a colorful and exuberant performer and spirited vocalist.
