Kenneth Gill

Short Bio

My name is Kenneth Gill, known as KG to some. I was born and raised in Detroit, but I have had the pleasure of living a few other places as well. Being from "The D" has had a profound influence on me as a person and musician. Having firm roots in the jazz tradition is my foundation, but I remain open to new possibilities of sound. When composing my original music, I strive to embody the jazz tradition, while retaining a sense of forward motion.

Establishing A Successful Solo Career As A Trombonist

Establishing oneself as a lead voice that happens to play the trombone is difficult. Trombonists have to fight on two fronts. We have to achieve and maintain great musicianship, as well as educate the trombone novice on our beautiful, noble, swingin’, and soulful instrument. As trombonist, we represent and sometimes spark the perceptions that listeners have of our instrument. The path to establishing a successful solo career as a trombonist is consistency and finding your own path.

Our first battle front…

News

I would like to thank Seth and Becky of The D Brief for airing my tune The Good News. You can checkout their show using the link below. Follow them @TheDBrief on Twitter and Instagram. My tune plays at about the 19:30 mark.

One Year Anniversary!

A year ago, today I released “The Good News” album. Although this project is only a tiny bit of the music that I plan to release to the world, it is, in my opinion, a true work of art. We painted a canvas with so many different brushes and colors; every unique contribution came together to form what I consider a masterpiece. The musicians, recording engineers and mixing engineers involved are all profound individuals in their own right, and I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to work with them on this project. If you don’t have the album, it is not too late. Head on over to www.kennethgillmusic.com store and place your order today. You can also contact my business manager Leslie Hoggatt for your copy; she’s in charge of this operation. Haha. Peace and Blessings!
