B2P 010 - Bob McChesney presented by Hip-BoneMusic

I first met Bob McChesney in 1985 when we were both part of Paul Anka’s outstanding touring band. It took me about half of one rehearsal to realize that he is a true virtuoso of the trombone. We spent about a year and a half together on Paul’s band and being around Bob was definitely one of the best parts of the gig. He is a constant source of inspiration. Bob’s recordings, videos and books have reached legendary status in the trombone world. I’m honored to call Bob my friend and am grateful to him for sitting down to do this interview and for inspiring all of us who strive to improve on the trombone everyday.
