"The world of music fascinates me to no end, and I´m determined to take one journey after another with my instrument, and keep on working. It´s all about discovery and communicating new ideas. I am proof that a shiny trombone can send a message straight to the heart and change a life. " ~ Samuel Bl**er

Enjoy XO Brass artist Peter Hedrich´s latest video release of the song "Ghost" from his current album "Symplicity". 🎶 Peter says about the piece: "Ghost is based on the chord changes of Wayne Shorter’s Armageddon. This piece has such a special energy for me that it never let me go. The phase of growing up comes with the realization that not everything always goes according to plan. Ghost is about moving forward despite all of that." We hope you enjoy the beatiful atmosphere of the piece. Have you listened to the album? If so, let us know your thoughts!

Have you heard about the latest release from XO artist Hedrich? 🤩🎶 Check out this live studio take featuring Ernie Hammes on trumpet. In Peter´s own words: "Simplicity is the title track of the album. It represents my approach to and understanding of music. I am usually moved by simple, beautiful melodies – compositions that tell a story – harmonies that reflect an emotion. Simplicity bridges the gap between the different pieces. It ranges from unusual chords in the intro and interlude to simple chord progressions in the coda, from odd-shaped sections to clear periods." ➡ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJn1gbXYNw
