Slide Monsters

Formed in 2018, this quartet represents the pinnacle of trombone performance. Tenor trombonists Joseph Alessi, Marshall Gilkes, and Eijiro Nakagawa bring incredible stylistic diversity and range, and contrabass trombonist Brandt Attema lays the foundation with virtuosic flair. Their music bends genres and blurs stylistic boundaries, incorporating improvisation, pop-tinged harmony, and symphonic sensibilities. A performance by the Slide Monsters will inspire and entertain, and their headline performance at the ITF will be one not to miss.
