Slide by Slide... Spirited to the Bone
John Monkhouse | Dave Davidson | Jim Edwards | Susan Follows (trombones)

Slide by Slide is an exciting new Trombone Quartet in the Golden Triangle region of Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph. Members of the group are John Monkhouse, Dave Davidson, Jim Edwards and Susan Follows.

They formed the group simply for the joy of making music—some people golf, they play quartets - and until recently used the quartet genre as a musical outlet strictly for their own enjoyment. However, in the Spring of 2003 they were asked to perform as part of the Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society concert series and chose the name “Slide by Slide” as their ‘stage name’.

As well as their regular engagements they have been featured in concerts with the Kitchener Musical Society Concert Band, as guest performers at the Central Ontario Band Workshop, and with the London (Ontario) based brass group, Brassroots (Bram Gregson, Musical Director) with guest artist Alistair Kay. With the release of their first CD, “Between Friends”, in 2008 Slide by Slide offers everyone the opportunity to hear them any time as they explore an eclectic collection of everything from Baroque to jazz standards with a little Dixieland jazz on the side.
