Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band: Land of Nod
by Woodrow Wilkins
If radio play is an accurate indicator of what people want, then the trombone is an under-appreciated, perhaps even unwanted lead instrument.

by Jerry D'Souza
The current political climate in the US is ripe for (and rife with) comment. Several calls have come for criticism--and with Land of Nod, Chris Washburne adds his voice to them.

As a collective whole, the American public may have undergone a collective political nodding off, though recent elections seem to offer some solace--a critical ...
Chris Washburne: Instrumental Activist
by Jason Crane
Trombonist, composer and educator Chris Washburne has added another title--activist. Washburne and his longtime partners, The SYOTOS Band, are making a bold political statement on their new album, Land of Nod (Jazzheads, 2006).
