Michael Coulson, Trombone
While pursuing a career in tech, Mike has moved to the SF Bay Area twice. In the early 2000’s a number of lessons with John Gove sparked his interest in improvisation, but family and career got in the way. Since moving back in 2017, he has devoted his time to improvisation, taking classes at the College of San Mateo and studying with Patrick Wolff. In the Bay Area, he has played with numerous groups including the Warehouse Big Band with Louie Bellson, Ed Morrison and A Touch of Brass, the Michael Galisatus Big Band, the Stanford Jazz Workshops Alumni Band (Ray Brown), and others. Mike has two kids and a very, very supportive wife.
