Thomas Laubhan, Duo Vol 1: Almost Like Being in Love

Duo Vol. 1: Almost Like Being in Love is a collaboration with the great Swiss guitarist Silvan Joray. We thoughtfully selected a collection of jazz standards to record which reflect feelings of love and belonging. Definitely feelings that are in short supply these days. Click a link to check it out:

Hello! I’m Thomas and I play the trombone. I’m currently based in New York City, where I play tenor and bass trombone (and sometimes tuba too!) in all sorts of situations from big bands to orchestras. I am the leader of the Thomas Laubhan Quartet, check out our debut album Introspection. Visit my Music page for playing examples of me and my quartet.

I help students find their voice to be able to express themselves through their instruments in my private lesson studio. I specialize in low brass pedagogy and jazz improvisation. Sign up for lessons today and check out my Teaching page for more info and for teaching handouts!

I’m currently on staff as the trombone teacher at Bloomingdale School of Music in NYC and have my own private teaching studio.
