In honor of Trey's recent orchestral tour, Drew Hitz sat down with Joe Alessi, principal trombone of the New York Philharmonic. Joe, who many consider the greatest trombone player in the world, discussed his experience perfoming with Trey Anastasio at Carnegie Hall in 2009.
Drew Hitz: Had you ever heard any of Trey's music, either solo or with Phish, before he played with you guys?
Joe Alessi: I'm ashamed to say I had not.
DH: Well you won't really stumble upon them in too many mainstream media outlets. Had you ever heard of Trey or Phish?
