The Extreme Decibel Big Band's trombone players
(a.k.a. "Bones of Death") have been playing (and drinking)
together as a section in town for an astonishing 30 years!

Doug "Work Release" Robinson has been the leader of the bone

section since the very beginning.  Doug is a top call trombonist in
the Phoenix area, and the EDBB is proud and thankful to have his
crisp sound leading the section (with thanks to Sheriff Joe).

Vince "Bootie" Wedge relocated here from the frozen tundra of

Alaska after hearing that there was an opening in the Decibel Band.  
Being such a fine trombonist, he easily passed the "audition",
and
the rest is history.  Vince is also active in AJEA, and is currently the
director of bands at Red Mountain High School in Mesa, Arizona.

John Wise is also an original "Extremer" and rounds out the
section
admirably.  He is one of the finer jazz trombonists in the Valley,
and has worked with many shows and national acts.  He is also
the owner of perhaps the highest metabolism known to man.

On the big horn, Fred "who needs a microphone?" Boyd

brings his enormous sound and enigmatic style to the
EDBB with a bravado hitherto unknown in these parts.
