Conrad Herwig is a New York-based trombonist, arranger, bandleader, composer and educator. A superior technician, his tonal signature is warm and enveloping -- at once physical and emotionally expressive. Herwig has played on hundreds of recordings and issued a series of celebrated post-bop outings under his own name, including 1998's seminal Heart of Darkness, 2007's A Jones for Bones Tones, 2012's A Voice Through the Door, and 2016's Reflections (with Russian tenor Igor Butman). These were threaded between award-winning Latin jazz tribute albums starting with 1998's The Latin Side of John Coltrane. Later tribute subjects included two for Miles Davis (Another Kind of Blue, 2004 and Sketches of Spain y Mas, 2006), Wayne Shorter (2008), Herbie Hancock (2010), Joe Henderson (2014), and Horace Silver (2020). In 2022, the trombonist continued his tribute series with The Latin Side of Mingus.
Conrad Herwig has also released music as a member of Ron McClure Sextet and Mingus Dynasty.
