Don Mikkelsen Quartet

Don Mikkelsen has played trombone professionally for over 50 years, performing internationally with artists such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Blood Sweat & Tears, Nancy Wilson, Sammy Davis Jr., Marvin Gaye, Elvis Presley, Peggy Lee, and Michel Legrand, and on recordings of such diverse artists as Louie Bellson, Grand Master Flash, and Peter Gabriel (Sledgehammer). More recently, he appears on Tony Levin’s 2024 album ‘Bringing It Down to the Bass’.

Don counts among his influences Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Stan Getz, and many others, of course including trombone heroes J.J. Johnson and Jack Teagarden, and is inspired to preserve and share the tradition of classic swinging jazz.
