John Kachnowski's signature upbeat sound originates from Detroit....but draws a fanbase worldwide. Whimsical lyrical what-not slathered in a bath of Real Horns.
"GREAT writer of words...I love John's writing style...best part about it is the musicianship is really great." Jason Scheff Lead Vox/Bass, the legendary band Chicago
John...a monster player/arranger/writer and always a gracious guy" Dawayne Bailey-guitarist for Bob Seger & Chicago
"when you hear trombonist John Kachnowski cut loose on a rocking solo or a mellower full-bodied melodic phrase you’ll quickly experience the tremendous range and remarkable depth of this titan of the brass section.”
Eric Harabadian, Detroit Live Magazine
