Funny Bones: A Trombone Summit brings together a circle of trombonists connected through years of study, bands, mentorship, recording, and friendship.

The program highlights the trombone community as much as individual artistry. Joey Sellers, a decorated jazz educator and composer and Director of Jazz Studies at Saddleback College, appears as a guiding influence whose accolades include the Gil Evans Fellowship, the Sammy Nestico Award, and multiple national commissions. Abdullah Ebrahim contributes a blend of classical clarity and contemporary improvisation shaped by studies at California State University Northridge and the University of North Texas, along with performances with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Los Angeles native and new dad Steven Robinson adds a far-reaching resume that spans international touring with John Fogerty, Grammy-winning recording projects, and daily performances at Disneyland with The Straw Hatters, reflecting a career that crosses jazz, commercial music, education, and studio work. Bob Lawrence, a sought-after trombonist, arranger, and educator and former student of Sellers, brings a powerful voice rooted in jazz and Latin music with credits that include Poncho Sanchez, Luis Enrique, and the Latin Grammy-nominated Afro-Peruvian Jazz Orchestra. Bass trombonists Robert Todd and Rose Doylemason round out the brass. Todd’s low-brass work extends from jazz bands and symphony orchestras to brass ensembles, video game music groups, and polka bands. Doylemason’s background includes orchestras, brass quintets, jazz ensembles, and chamber groups across the country. Together they showcase the instrument’s remarkable range. A rhythm section of inventive Southern California musicians supports the summit. Pianist Sam Ross, a Long Beach based composer and DownBeat Award recipient, offers a modern touch and deep jazz vocabulary. Bassist Cole Sainburg brings a perspective shaped by jazz alongside Armenian folk and traditional Japanese music and is active as an educator. At the drums is Matthew Elton Smith, a performer, composer, recording artist, and educator whose connections help anchor the gathering. At its heart, this concert celebrates mentorship, friendship, and shared history, honoring the trombone’s human voice with moments of humor, lyricism, power, and surprise.

At the Heritage Museum of Orange County, this ghost-focused tour explores the Kellogg House, built in 1898 by Hiram Clay Kellogg. Following the death of his first wife, he created a grand residence as a gift for his second wife, Helen. Drawing on his passion for tall ships, he designed a three story spiral staircase that curls around a central mast and rises to a crow’s nest that seems to have no base. The narrative traces Hiram’s death in 1921 and Helen’s 42 additional years in the home, concluding with her passing there. Today, reports of puzzling occurrences hint that members of the Kellogg family may still be present, setting the tone for a tour that weaves together distinctive architecture, family history, and accounts of unexplained activity.

Hyatt Regency Newport BeachMt. Laguna/San Diego — Weekend Away
Set out on a three day getaway that showcases Southern California’s stunning variety, from oceanfront curves to alpine pines and desert horizons, with stops for local flavor, history, and a special dinner along the way. The route traces the Pacific Coast Highway from Newport Beach to San Diego, climbs to Mt. Soledad for sweeping views, weaves around the bays to the waterfront, and visits the Cabrillo Monument before passing through the solemn grounds of the Cabrillo Memorial Cemetery. The evening winds down in Old Town, the historic heart of early California shaped by Mexican, Spanish, and Native American influences. The next morning heads inland and up roughly 6,000 feet into the cool pines of the Laguna Mountains via the Sunrise Highway, a recognized National Scenic Byway with dramatic overlooks where forest drops to the Anza-Borrego Desert. Curves on Highway 79 lead through the oak woodlands of Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and into Julian, with the day ending in friendly camaraderie over a family style barbecue. The final ride threads Poway’s back roads to Palomar Mountain for panoramic views at Boucher Hill Lookout, then descends through canyons for a lunch stop at Rainbow Oaks to cap the weekend. This classic palm to pine adventure fills quickly. Advance registration on the event website is required, and marking Going on Facebook does not secure a spot.
PavilionsThe Kellogg House Ghost Tour
This event delves into the history and reported hauntings of a notable Orange County home built in 1898 by Hiram Clay Kellogg. Created as a gift for Helen, his second spouse, the mansion reflects his fascination with tall ships through a three story spiral staircase that winds around a central mast and leads to a crow’s nest open to the floors below. Hiram died in 1921, and Helen continued to live there for another 42 years before passing away in the same house. Today, accounts of unexplained activity hint that members of the Kellogg family may still linger within this distinctively designed residence.
