Hi,
So my nephew just had a birthday and he's also taking up the trombone at school this year. For people with more experience on these matters can you recommend a CD/artist who uses trombone in a prominent way -- besides marching band. Trombone is kind of an odd instrument and it'd be nice if there was someone using it in an exciting way for him to listen to and go "oh hey, practicing the scales today is good for this tomorrow" kinda deal.
I am also accepting recommendations for books and/or graphic novels for 11 year-olds. I'm leaning towards the first trade paperback collection of Invincible, but I'm open to all suggestions.
