great interview. and the section playing on Open City is impressive - I get it!

Two of Bobs tools are his great attitude and his sense of humour.

I'm no Chris Botti; however, as a trumpet player, so everyone knows I play trumpet, I always carry my horn so people know I am a trumpet player. To dinner, to interviews, to the park, the beach and around the house. Even on vacation. Stay in tune my friends.

I think you forgot to mention it was Phillip Jones Brass ensemble that started brass chamber music in the UK

That 2nd bridge! These are great, Mike!

❤

❤❤❤

Great band! But man, what a drummer!

Nice sound, good quality :)

Wow

Hi! 👍 can you tell us models of trumpet and mouthpiece? Very sweet and soft sound👍

RIP, Gary. A treasured artist and colleague.

Aw, RIP, Gary. Truly one of the greats

Muito bom

I met tom in 1965 at usm band camp. Very inspiring!

Wonderful interview. Thanks Michael for being such a great interviewer and listener and thanks to Gary for having been such a wonderful human being and professional musician. Your sounds will be heard until the end of times and your reputation will live on.

LOVE Big Band!!!!

oh yeah

Absolutely loved this interview!!!

I remember the 1st time I heard Peter. I was immediately a fan.

I love Peter's enthusiasm just so positive.

Mike and Troy sound incredible!! The entire group is amazing!

My trb teacher told me it’s a slide instrument not a valve one

C.J., you’re an exceptional trumpeter - and I loved hearing this!

Talk about a band full of A list players from top to bottom!! My goodness!! SMOKIN'!!!!

❤❤❤

RIP, Jim! Sad news has schocked me yesterday. Was nice to play with him and hang with him.

RIP, Jim. It was a pleasure to know and work with you. Shocked and saddened by your untimely passing.

Wonderful thoughtful interview! May Gary's Spirit rest peacefully knowing what a colossal gift he gave to the world. Most respectfully..Vaughn Nark

I was in Hawaii in the 70's. This guy came right up on stage and jammed with the band I was in. No invite....... great player---mgr got po'd at him.

Mike you continue to do great things for musicians. Gordon Goodwin is special and a wonder interviewee.

Gary Grant's was a member of the Suwannee High School And he was a And wonderful person. I'm Blessed to know him

Anyone know where I can find the full version of this? The link in the description is broken

Amazing interview!

Great interview! Congrats

Awesome!

Two of my favorite trombone players and people in music! Great to see this.

Oh, that was good.

Oh, those scooped notes in Close to You kill me whenever I have to play them. Thanks, Chuck! LOL.

No offence to all of you guys. But... i see Bill Reichenbach and i know, everything is gonna be Okay!

INEFFABLE!!!

I remember listening to Bill Watrous and a Canadian Trombonist Ray Anderson play crazy high in the upper range. The hard part is to play with ease in that range and not struggle to play those high notes. Gilkes is definitely unique the way he can play those notes with clarity.

I loved the interview. Michael, thank you so much for introducing to such an artist.

What an amazing interview this is, with one of the coolest in Jazz today, Marcus Printup. The stories Marcus relates are so insightful and drenched in Jazz history - freakin' blows me away! He's got a heart of pure gold and it does me heart good to see this. Thanks sooo much!

Scott Hartman taught me at Boston University, and he's the best teacher I've ever had. He's like a father or uncle to me now, and I learned a lot from him. Yale students are really lucky to have him. He helped me listen and think differently, not just to be a better musician but also a better person. Thank you forever, Scott.

I had heard about Weston, but I must say, after this interview, I hold him in very high regard. He is a well-spoken individual, and it appears that he is a truly unique artist.

Michael, it was a fantastic opportunity to learn about Shires. Thank you. Although I haven't had the chance to play with it myself, many of my closest friends in Boston use Shires, and James Monagham, in particular, is one of my dear friends. As a conductor now, I no longer need it, but I am watching all your interviews. Much appreciated, thank you.

I heard Peter performing at the Jeju International Brass Festival. Not only does he play exceptionally well, but I also appreciate what he represents for the entire brass community. The duo with Constanze (pianist) and the repertoire were amazing. Fantastic chamber music and artistry.

I loved it! Very engaging and a fantastic interview. Thank you.
