The LA Trombone Collective will perform Tommy Pederson’s (1920–1998) unpublished
masterpiece, Cogent Caprice, which has been passed down by trombonists since the
‘70s via xeroxed copies in the composer’s hand. The piece features a solo trombone
accompanied by four tenor trombones and two bass trombones. Tommy Pederson was
an exemplary trombonist in every genre and recorded a wide variety of studio
repertoire. Perhaps his largest contribution, Pederson composed and arranged over 300
titles, most of them pertaining to the trombone.
