Freelance professional trombonist, Ian Moseley, presents with this CD a wide range of musical styles for trombone ensembles of various sizes. Ian multi-tracked all the pieces on the CD, playing all the parts in this programme of jazz tune quartet arrangements, original works, classical arrangements for large trombone choir and a selection of Christmas carols - Beethoven to Billie Holiday.
The funds from this CD will serve two purposes.
Firstly Ian has always had to desire to travel overland from the UK to South Africa by Land Rover. This long journey began in January 2009 and arrived there at the beginning of May. Hence the name of the CD - sale of this CD will help cover some of the costs of this trip.
Secondly a proportion of the sales is being donated to Shrewsbury Music Therapy Unit & Trust Fund. A registered charity for handicapped children & adults within Shropshire & Border Counties.
