The NORTH 17
There is a feeling that only comes when I am standing on dirt, with open sky and breeze through the trees; a sweet air lacking exhaust fumes from steel horses, filled with the aroma and sounds of beating hoofs.
Trombonist, Tim Connor
Tim Connor is a trombonist and professor at the Frost School of Music (BIO). He performs with several South Florida orchestras but I usually catch him performing at the Frost School of Music. This performance was during, “Children’s Dreams and Inspirations—Frost Wind Ensemble “ on 09.23.2018.
Jazz bands...Outtakes.
I have shot a lot of different types of musical performances - Country Rock (Andrew Morris Band), Classic Rock (Phil Collins, Molly Hatchet), Rock (Emily Estefan, AME@Frost, Jeff Jefferies), Classical Symphony (Frost Symphony Orchestra) and then a few that should need no category, like the Blues Brothers(!). Plus many more! However… There is no music that beat JAZZ for fun and inspiration. The Frost School of Music Jazz program is top shelve in every way - Musicians, performance energy, piece selection, stage presence and visuals. Most of the time I end up with images I enjoy that far outnumber what is considered “an appropriate number” for a gallery, so instead, I will call these outtakes….

as they perform Hector Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture, Op. 9; Maurice Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No.2; and Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.
