Nick Drozdoff

Nick Drozdoff, an alumni of the Maynard Ferguson orchestra, is a power lead trumpeter. However, he is also an accomplished jazz trumpeter and classical soloist. All of this is evidenced in his playing. The band consists of a four piece rhythm section with a horn section varying from 5 trumpets (ala Bill Chase) to two trumpets, bone and tenor (ala T.O.P).
Nick has been a free lance professional in the greater Chicago area for over 20 years. He has been recording and performing extensively since leaving the Maynard Ferguson orchestra in 1981. The original band was to feature Nick with his brother, Pete. Pete, an excellent arranger and composer, has moved on, but Nick still keeps the music alive.
Albums:
Junk Yard Brass (classical and jazz), Brass Menagerie (jazz fusion), Trumpets Volume 1
