Old-World Blues is a rhapsodic, jazz-filled trombone solo enriched with electronics and a video, focused on the exploration of nostalgia and the enamoring of one's past. The piece is set as a sentimental broadcast, and is made up of four main colorful sections that explore different aspects of jazz, swing, and blues music. Old-World Blues stands as both a memoir to the past, the rose-tinted jewel that many have obsessed over, and a warning to the dangers of living in the past: catching a case of those old-world blues.
​
“Our pasts made us who we are; without them, we say we are nothing. So we let them consume us.”
