A New Day Dawning refers to the continually expanding expressive possibilities of the trombone. On this recording, I have sought to champion several great works I believe deserve a more prominent place in the trombone discography. All of the works featured, including two recent and exciting new pieces by Kenneth Kreuzer and James Thornton, are musically and technically well-suited to the instrument, and deserve a place at the center of its expanding repertoire. At the beginning of this new millennium we are experiencing a renaissance of trombone artistry, a trend I believe will continue as long as we persevere in performing and recording new works and encourage more to be written. I was inspired early in my career to take on a project such as this by the many fine recordings of trombone artists in the 1980s and 1990s. I hope this disc in some way continues and expands that tradition.
