From playing in the Sahara Desert, with Roswell Rudd, to touring the world with Frank Sinatra; trombonist and award-winning composer Deborah Weisz’s life in music has been filled with diversity. Originally from Chicago, IL, Deborah’s musical journey has included stops in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and NYC, where she has lived since 1993; performing and writing music for a variety of work (commercial, Broadway, classical & jazz) while exploring the post-bop and beyond realms with her own groups.
