Fred Wesley is a trombonist, composer, arranger and bandleader known worldwide as one of the architects of funk music.

Decades ago, he asserted himself as
the world's funkiest trombone player when the Godfather of Soul James Brown started shouting "Fred! Hit Me!"

Today, in addition to
lending his fire to assorted artists across a broad musical spectrum, he and his band the New JBs are moving and grooving audiences worldwide on their "Funky President Celebration Tour." Click here to make contact, or here to read more.
