Dan Gottshall,
a guy from the east coast of the US, plays lead trombone with the
NDR Big Band. From 1993 until 2001 he was lead trombonist with the RIAS

Brothers, Norma Winstone, Gladys Knight, Pacquito D' Rivera, Kenny Wheeler,
etc. etc. etc. dot dot dot....
He is Lead Trombonist with the NDR

Dan Gottshall is EXTREMELY humble and feels that
biographies are embarrasing.
