Josh Roseman Clinic: Solo Practice

Josh Roseman is a composer, dub devotee, project organizer, and brass practitioner living in Brooklyn. He directs several working ensembles, including the electric JRU quintet, the New Constellations dub septet, the unpredictable Stool Softeners, the Water Surgeons ambient trombone choir with electronics and the 12 piece King Froopy Allstars. He's additionally known for a wide range of sideman and recording work with the likes of Dave Douglas, Meshell Ndegeocello, the Roots, John Zorn, Steve Coleman, MMW, Don Byron, Charlie Hunter, Soulive, and the late Lester Bowie.

He is also an organizer, founder of the New York Slideworkers' Union, a not-for-profit creative trombonists' collective. He runs a busy production/performance space in Williamsburg called 58N6 Media Labs, and is producing various outside projects for release through his Scrootable Labs production company.   

Roseman has recorded three well-received albums combining a mixture of groovework, electronics, compositional strategy, and expressive brass playing, including Treats for the Nightwalker and, more recently, New Constellations, a futuristic tribute to Jamaican trombone pioneer Don Drummond.

Roseman has taught clinics in performance and improvisation for the School for Improvisational Music, Stanford University, Banff, the New School, NYU, the Jazzschool in Berkeley, and at New England Conservatory.
