John W. Baumgartner is a Twin Cities-based trombonist, bassist, composer, and music educator. As a performer he has toured across the US and Canada, recorded on various projects – including three full-length albums with Coyote Kid (formerly Marah in the Mainsail) – and is as at home performing on a punk rock show as in a classical brass quintet.
He is a member of the Twin Cities Jazz Composers Workshop, and has had compositions and arrangements for big band, symphonic band, brass quintet, and various cover bands performed by many groups in the area – including an upcoming flute concerto commission to be premiered by Karen Baumgartner, a regular sub with the MN Orchestra and Opera (and John's sister).
As an educator, he works across the Twin Cities with a wide-variety of brass students from beginners to advanced high school students, and takes great joy in seeing his students grow as musicians and people.
