Lucian McGuiness is an Australian trombonist, based sometimes in the Netherlands.
I lead a few instrumental bands: the gratuitously entitled My Goodness, McGuiness! and The Keijzer McGuiness Quintet, and also the Impermanent Quartet, Salvaton Street Shout and a rip-roarer of a cabaret show called Little Egypt’s Burlesque. You can read more about these at the projects page.
Aside from my own projects I work as trombonist for diverse range of musical projects.
Recently I´ve filled the trombone and jaw harp chair on Joanna Newsom´s 2010 and 2011 tours of Australia. I´ve arranged and recorded horn parts for the forthcoming album by UK songwriter Passenger, and improvised brass parts for the charming children´s album by Australian songwriter Holly Throsby. I also toured with Pete Philly and Perquisite´s theatertour ensembles in 2008 and 2009.
In Australia I´ve been busy as regular trombonist for groups the Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra, the Crusty Suitcase Band, Orkestra of the Underground, and occaisonally Mike Nock, Steve Hunter´s Nine Lives and King Tide.
