Jaroslav Cimera composer

Jaroslav Cimera (1887–1972) was a famous virtuoso trombonist who
performed with several of America’s finest bands including Kryl’s,
Sousa’s, and his own. Born in Bohemia (now Czech Republic), he moved
to America at about age nine with his family. His brass teachers were
Gardell Simons, Alfred Weldon (cornet) and Bohumir Kryl (cornet).
Following his successful career as a band soloist, Cimera taught
trombone at his home and then also at Northwestern University part-time
from 1933–1952, and added baritone and tuba lessons from 1952–1967.
He influenced many fine trombonists and wrote a number of solos, etude
books and methods.
