Filip Sokolowski, leader of what is perhaps the only Bay area band fronted entirely by trombones, has been on the scene since 2017 and is a pupil of beloved ‘bone badass Tom Brantley.

His outfit—Sokolowski Trombone Project—includes Brantley, along with New Orleans-influenced James Wall (Schaff-Wall Collective), 2023 Pinellas County Rookie Music Teacher Kamyl Alicea, plus bass trombonists Nathan Petersen and Jordan Harris.

For this Summer Bloom album release show, they’re joined by keyboardist Julian Pernett, drummer Rod Alnord and bassist Erik Hempel in the band’s pursuit of promoting new ways to experience trombone through innovative arrangements of standards and modern music.

Tickets to see Sokolowski Trombone Project play the music hall at New World Tampa on Sunday, Aug. 10 are still available and start at $17.49.
