An award-winning trombonist, improviser, composer, and educator, Naomi Moon Siegel uses the trombone as a vehicle for sonic expression colored by breath, spit, and physicality. Moving beyond conventional genre norms, she allows her lyrical sound to unfurl intuitively. Her original musical vocabulary draws on the richness of global musical traditions and the sonorities of the natural world. Siegel is touring in support of her third album, Shatter The Glass Sanctuary. Produced by award-winning drummer Allison Miller, Shatter The Glass Sanctuary is an ambitious and sweeping statement, showcasing Siegel's prowess as a composer, improviser, bandleader, and trombonist. Her ensemble for this tour features Marina Albero (piano) and Christopher Icasiano (drums), luminaries from the Seattle music scene, and the Bay Area's own Jayla Chee (bass).
