Episode #4 - Robert Sanders

Bass trombonist Robert Sander's training included four great teachers, Don Kimble, Jeff Reynolds, Robert Simmergren and Roy Main. His professional career began with the Disneyland Band, which provided a great learning opportunity that developed into a long, established career in the Los Angeles area. Bob performed for 30 years with the Pacific Symphony, 24 years as a founding member of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, 12 years in the Composers Brass Quintet, and a decade or so in Hoyt Bohannon’s garage on Tuesday nights. He has played on a freelance basis for 45 years; including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, hundreds of motion picture and television scores, and in theater, ballet and opera pits. He has been a member of the Bill Watrous Refuge West Band, the Jack Sheldon Orchestra, the Jimmy Cleveland Orchestra and did two tours subbing with the west coast iteration of the Toshiko Akioshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band. He is presently retired from low brass performance, serves as president of Local 7, American Federation of Musicians, and has taught trombone at California State University, Fullerton for more than three decades; where he co-founded (with Jeannie Little and Alex Iles) Trombone Day in 2004. Bob is a Greenhoe Artist.
