On today's episode, Scott interviews Dr. Javier Nero, the Lead Trombonist with The U.S. Army Blues in Washington, D.C, an Arranger, Composer and Educator. He earned his Bachelor of Music degree from the Juilliard School, a Master of Music degree from the University of Miami, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. His list of accomplishments include three albums of original compositions and arrangements, leader of his jazz septet and jazz orchestra, and a new upcoming album, “ Kemet The Black Land”, set to be released in the near future. My guest is also a member of the jazz faculty at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland. This diverse musician, arranger, composer, and educator, certainly GOT CHOPS!
