Welcome Thanks for coming to visit my website.  I hope you will enjoy what you see and hear!  I have spent many years as a professional performer on albums and CDs in the recording studio, as well as live concerts, video sound tracking, television shows (sound tracks, pit orchestras, and on camera bands) and other venues. Most of you have heard me many times, but you don’t know it.  I have spent years being one of the faceless, nameless musicians that make our industry work.  Now I want to move out of well-paid obscurity, and spread my name around. So here I am!  I can be seen as a regular around the New York/New Jersey area with my own small groups, the Somers Dream Orchestra, the Frank Basile 12tet, the Ray Scro / Mike Moreale BIg Band (the S&M big band if you will!), the Michael Treni Big Band, the Fun Bunch Big Band, the Big Band Swing Machine, and the Brookdale Big Band to name a few.  (See my Calendar!) I have performed with top jazz artists, rhythm and blues artists, rock/pop/oldies artists, and a host of others.  Like most of us - it’s “Have Trombone, Will Travel”. So - on to the web site!  Look around...I hope you enjoy me and my playing! Philip Jones Conn-Selmer Trombone Artist  Available NOW at CD BABY and iTUNES  NEW!
