Chris is awesome! also the story about him and how he fought day by day to play again like he used to it is just showing us how important is to keep doing what we love not matter what happened. Please, upload more videos about him showing more examples of Latin music, it is really inspired. Thanks indeed! greetings from Spain.

What is hs story about fighting day by day to play again like he used to?

[@wyc7tjmf794]

Such a great video. I've enjoyed watching it, even though I'm not a trombone player. It's always interesting to see how and why other instrumentalists approach different styles of music.
