Over this past weekend my small family lost one of its members. My cousin, Joel Helleny, passed away in his Illinois home. My aunt found a blog entry where his friends memorialized him and talked about his talents and his life.
In memory of my cousin and his proweres behind the trombone I will simply post this link to the blog my aunt found.
Rest in Peace… Joel Helleny 1956-2009
If you watch the YouTube video that is attached to the blog at the above link, Joel will be the first solo trombone – standing out front of the band. His solo improv starts very close to the beginning of the tune. He had some chops that is for sure!
