Since completing studies at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama where trombone was his first instrument, John has been involved in performances of a wide variety of music reflecting his eclectic listening taste. He can be heard on CD recordings spanning from early music to orchestral sountracks, from opera to funk. Currently he is playing trombone for Big Vern n The Shootahs. He is also playing bass guitar, acoustic and electric guitar and the occasional bit of keyboards for recording projects in between teaching and freelance trombone gigs. The instrumental audio clips at the top of the page feature John on trombone, trumpet, guitar, bass guitar and keyboards. Recording projects are ongoing and a flash player similar to the one above featuring some vocal tracks should be up on this site when the vocal sessions are completed. There will also be some musicians resources posted on the site in due course.

A selection of original Jazz funk trombone music can be found at my myspace address - johnmilnemusic
