In the summer of 1992, four friends, four trombones, and a stack of borrowed music met in a garage in Tacoma, Washington. Although they planned to meet only once to provide background music for a benefit auction, they became " an eclectic trombone quartet" - not your typical heavy metal garage band.
No Bones About It, the result of that first rehearsal fifteen years ago, brings five centuries of music to the Puget Sound region of Washington. The group's repertoire of over 300 works includes classical, jazz, popular, Americana, ragtime, patriotic, religious, holiday, and art music from the 1400s to the present.
The trombonists, Kerry Allman, Dan Haeck, Kirk Jones, plus various top-notched guest musicians from Western Washington, bring a wealth of performance experience to the group. Individually and collectively, the members of No Bones About It have performed in shows, symphonies, operas, bands, jazz, Latin, and rock groups, chamber ensembles, and in the recording studio. In addition, each musician contributes arrangements to the group's expanding library. Currently, the group has just released Bonehenge , its first CD of classical and jazz selections.
No Bones About It entertains and educates its audiences in a myriad of locations throughout Western Washington. From festivals to malls, concerts to weddings, and schools to receptions, the group is at home with listeners of all ages with its lively brand of brass music.
