During the corona pandemic in 2020/2021 Frederic “Freddy” Andrej reached out to his favourite artists, colleagues and writers/arrangers to start an inter- national collaboration. Freddy brought together some of the best trombone players over the world for a non-profit remote cd recording of his favourite tunes as well as originals by members of the project.
A part of the proceeds will be donated to the “Hearts of Music Fund” by Bill Reichenbach, which helps uninsured American musicians who need medical aid and to youth music education in Europe.
