Darrell J. Walker
Here is some info:
I am an AWESOME trombone player in the real New Orleans tradition--:) Been called the "baddest" trombone player in NO. Learned from the best--my daddy plays the trombone as well as I studied in college. I have played professionally for approx 30 years, I'm 49 years old. I've played mostly jazz (smooth, jazzy, Dixieland) and R&B but have also played with rock bands. I am extremely professional both in appearance and demeanor. I can both read and play by ear.
Played nightly in the French Quarter. Some bands I have played with in NO are:
New Orleans Levee Board Deacon John & Ivories Doc Paulin Brass Band Doctor Frank Minyard (he's the coroner of NO) Jazz Roots
Additionally, I have played both the Blue Note and Lincoln Center Outdoors with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. I also played with Irma Thomas at Central Park SummerStage.
