Trombonist Addison Maye-Saxon

When Addison Maye-Saxon was in the 7th grade and choosing what to play, he didn't like cello or trumpet, so his teacher picked his instrument (and his future) for him. On this episode of Performance Today, hear music and conversation with trombonist Addison Maye-Saxon.
