ANNIE WHITEHEAD is one of the world’s top session trombonists and horn arrangers, Like Jennifer, she can be heard on dozens of international hits. Whitehead is also acclaimed for her solo work, and for her ensembles: the Dance, and the Annie Whitehead Experience. Annie and Jennifer come to us from their home in South East England.
