Don Immel is internationally recognized for classical and jazz performance, as well as for his teaching of brass pedagogy and performance/practice strategies. He appears frequently throughout Asia, the United States and Europe, and has recently been appointed Solo/Principal Trombonist with the Srønderjyllands Symfoniorkester, a Danish national symphony that records for the Naxos label. From 1999 through 2006, Immel served as Associate Professor of Trombone and Jazz Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle, achieving tenure in 2003. He has also served as Principal Trombonist of the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, has performed extensively with the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera and Houston Symphony Orchestras, and can be heard on dozens of movie and television soundtracks. In his debut release, Don Immel returns the trombone to the musical spotlight, focusing on contemporary jazz, chill and lounge music. Long Way Home evokes the influential stylings of Chris Botti, Pat Metheny, Sting, Yo-Yo Ma and Kruder & Dorfmeister in a CD of Immel's original compositions and adapted arrangements. An accomplished jazz and classical/orchestral trombonist, Immel sends his lush sound soaring through the elements of loss, desire, rebirth and bliss in each of his vibrant tunes.
