| Ed Sullivan and Woody Herman |
|
As a young boy, Mike Trombetta saw Woody Herman on television performing on the Ed Sullivan Show which influenced him to start a life of music. Mike Trombetta was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA where Woody recruited an abundance of talented saxophone players like Buddy Savitt, Bob Newman, Gregory Herbert, Stan Getz and Larry McKenna. Mike studied with Vince Trombetta (no relation), then with Larry McKenna, now the featured soloist with Mike Trombetta's Metropolis Big Band. At the advice of good friend, jazz saxophonist and woodwind expert Bob Malach, Mike sought out Bob Newman in the Poconos for lessons in the late 70's. In 1980, Bob Newman asked Mike to be his roommate in the new casino frontier of Atlantic City and their friendship continues to this day. Lately Mike has been fine-tuning his saxophone technique with George Young and vocal studies with Rod MacWherter.
