I'm a professional trombone/ukulele player in NYC. (There's a joke in there somewhere...) Sometimes I sing, too. I play a lot in the NYC area. If you wanna see me play some time, I have my full schedule posted at blatomaster.com. I also have a mailing list.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Walter man, Sunday's affair at LIC Bar was awesome. It's a cool scene where you see everyone you know from the neighborhood with their dogs and their kids. The BBQ. No cover charge. The best of all however, was the music. First rate. Good sound. Good playin. Good fun.
