Andy Hunter
Born:
“Hunter coaxes multiple instruments out of his trombone—the purity of a
trumpet… the intrinsic longing of a French horn… and even the blatt of a
tuba. But that’s all gravy next to Hunter’s overall solo construction, which

Andy Hunter has a strong and unique musical voice, whether expressed
through his instrument or his writing and arranging. Born in Northern
Michigan and musically raised on the music scenes of Cleveland, Shanghai
and New York City, Hunter now resides primarily in Cologne, Germany where
he performs regularly with the WDR Big Band featuring many of the top artists
in jazz today
