Trombonist Bill Gemmer has a warm, clear tone and an amazing range and agility on his instrument. His solo style is swinging and soulful; his improvisations flow with intelligence and grace. His sound is rich with musical influences that range from traditional to mainstream jazz.

Bill studied at the Berklee School of Music and toured with the Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey orchestras in the 1970's. He also spent some time in Europe with the South German Radio Orchestra and has performed with the Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. He can be heard on recordings with the Blue Wisp Big Band and other groups. Bill is also leader and arranger of his own 10-piece swing group, The Sleep Cat Band.
