Steady gigs with Eddie Marshall have taken Dobson around the United States in the past year. But lately it's a new chance to work alongside top jazz composer and trombone player Bob Brookmeyer that has Dobson heading back to the practice room to make sure his chops are in a league with a true jazz master. I was shaking and said I would but that it would never happen. But even though Bob and I have never played together, he took me on, sound unheard, on Mike's word. I feel like I'm playing with a direct lineage of jazz royalty.
