ALAIN TRUDEL has been called the best trombonist in the world. A true virtuoso,
his performances have delighted audiences worldwide. When just a teenager he started
playing with the Montreal Symphony. After winning their Soloist Competition, he
decided to embark on the difficult path of a full-time solo career. Since then,
he has appeared as a guest soloist with over 30 orchestras in North America, Europe
and Asia. Remarkably versatile, he is also an accomplished jazz musician--and an
expert in early music on the sackbut. A long-time crusader for the popularization
of contemporary music, he performs both his own original compositions and those that
leading composers have written for him. The Trudel mouthpiece offers players a big
warm sound, and the rim and cup size are well suited for orchestral as well as solo use.
