Dream Dances – Al Hermann

Description

Critically-acclaimed lead trombonist Al Hermann brings his magical touch with a great group of musicians to present a program of extremely listenable Dream Dances. Originally from New Orleans, a young Hermann spent his weekends on the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge absorbing the formidable talents of trombonist Carl Fontana, who was Al’s mentor. While in New Orleans, Hermann played with the Dukes of Dixieland and the New Orleans Symphony, and was a regular at the Roosevelt Hotel where he backed such luminaries as Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Julie London, and Peggy Lee.
