The Trombone Corner – 2025 Holiday Episode with Special Guests Jay Friedman & Michael Dease

The Trombone Corner – 2025 Holiday Episode Cohosts Noah Gladstone and John Snell post up by the fireplace with eggnog and a tradition that's equal parts heartfelt and mechanically questionable: Noah lights his custom Trombonorah —a menorah built from a trombone bell, with a few trumpet valves thrown in for reasons that will make sense to exactly no one. From there, it's a holiday-themed conversation that bounces between trombone life, seasonal rituals, gear talk, and the usual detours you'd expect when brass players are left unsupervised. And yes, we brought in reinforcements: Jay Friedman (retired Principal Trombone of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra ) and jazz great Michael Dease join the festivities, adding equal parts wisdom, stories, and top-tier trombone perspective.
