Aweseome! Shared to my brass quintet...we talked "buzzing" the other night.

Bud, Ed, Arnold, Dale, they make glorious music together now and make heaven a glorious place

What a wonderfully charming and informative man Mr. Penzarella is!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

Hi Michael, great interview , very informative.

Wonderful interview!

Marvelous interview on so many levels

Rest in peace Mr. Johnson. you taught me more in those six months at UNT than the entire conservatory taught me! Thank you

Interesting that Jacobs would advocate against sniffs. Makes me wonder who was saying to do it -- Bill Bell perhaps?

Think I'll add a little more "ping" to my ensemble playing.

Thanks mike!

You have a great sound on your mouthpiece, Michael! There is a great story about the cornet player, Jules Levy. He tells it in the forword of his method book, published in 1895: " I have loved the Cornet from my earliest infancy and always had a longing to become a Cornet player. About five years previous to my becoming the proud owner of a Cornet, I procured a mouthpiece which I kept constantly pressed to my lips."

I've read all three excellent books motivation to read them again

What about if buzzing screws up the embouchure

Very cool

18:21 Forgive me, but what's "supposed to be" and what actually happens are many times two different things. Words can be very dangerous because each individual has different needs. For example, Roger Bobo didn't have to think about the breath because he HAD the breath. But for other people who have been conditioned to do this, that, and the other thing due to studying with misinformed teachers, they will need to establish completely new behaviors from scratch in order to function properly. This does take a willful, conscious effort until it becomes a habit.

Well Mr. Jacobs would say that the muscle tissue actually does do the work in a physical sense. But it's how all that flesh is controlled which makes a huge difference.

I wish there was more! He is so interesting to us, a historical phenomena that will be hard to replace

Deliberate practice is the cruxial concept according to Ericsson. Gladwell who made the 10 thousand hour concept famous (Outliers) does not talk about "deliberate practice". Great conversation!

Excellent episode

Sande was my first college tuba professor and though I no longer play, I learned so many good life lessons from him that I still think about quite regularly. One of the most real and honest people I've ever worked with in any capacity.

I was a colleague of Richard's for a number of years. A man who is capable of being greatly inspired can turn around and be greatly inspiring. This interview is so Richard!

Was the second house in a slightly better area? Both are way down south.

Met Lew at the first NY Brass conference. What a nice and humble guy. What a loss and way too early .

Lawrie, crushing it!

I’m so glad to see this, and mourn my friends at the American time!

I didn’t know any of this! Wow!

Great intervju!

Learned with him at VCM in the 80's. I miss his insights into creating good sound on the instrument and the goal of playing musically no matter how simple the music.

I had the privilege and the pleasure of performing several times with Luis with the Park Ridge Civic Orchestra (PRCO), so I've had the benefit of hearing his playing up close and personal. Luis is a PHENOMENAL player; crazy command of the instrument. Just listening to him warm up would blow my mind. The last piece I performed with Luis in the PRCO was Respighi's The Pines Of Rome, where Luis and I were playing the extra trumpet parts in the final movement, The Pines of the Appian Way. Luis and I were on fire that day. I think we're both still smiling from that performance. I know I am. Highest Regards to Mr. Loubriel.

In May 1976, at the ripe old age of 20, I moved to Chicago to continue taking trumpet lessons with Vincent Cichowicz (which were short lived). Mr. Cichowicz referred me to Arnold Jacobs, with whom I had three lessons, one of which was so positive I remember jumping up and down in the hall at Roosevelt University after I left the lesson. Mr. Jacobs, in turn, referred me to Will Scarlett, 3rd Trumpet/Associate Principal with the CSO, whom I studied with for 2 1/2 years. What's all this got to do with John Cvejanovich? When I arrived in Chicago, Cvejanovich's name was LEGEND in Chicago trumpet circles due to the fact that he was first call for subs with the CSO whenever one was needed. It's a joy for me to finally meet the man due to this great interview. Needless to say, at the ripe old age of 67, this now seems like ages ago but my memories of hanging around the Orchestra Hall crowd and the performances therein will live with me forever.

Years ago I was able to purchase a teaching cd that was peritonitis idea. I learned so much from this cd. He plays so beautifully.

So great to see and hear Toby speak, especially now that he's gone. Brilliant musician and teacher. I studied with Toby at Yale 1986-1988 - he's the reason I applied to the Yale School of Music. Fellow Texan so he was a bit of a legend.

Joseph Aumann played a mock audition for St. Louis at IU. He sounded phenomenal! I really hope he wins St. Louis, but if not, he’ll win something else eventually. He knows what he’s doing.

Oddball? Mr. Jacobs was like the coolest cat around.

This is my favorite JacobsTV interview.

John sounds like a cool guy, but the section about players coming in for lessons and faking issues sounds a bit far fetched. Since lessons with Mr. Jacobs were relatively expensive, the individual would have needed to be willing to pay Mr. Jacobs, the same person that they were hoping would fail in fixing their playing "issues." It doesn't make sense.

Do you think the primary reason for all that sound generation by the CSO was/is to compensate for the poor acoustics of Orchestra Hall?

Hi Pete. I was scrolling on KZbin and saw your name. I don’t know if you remember living across the street from the Hillabold’s. It was wonderful seeing you again, Even if it is on KZbin. Sincerely: Bud Hillabold

Nice interview dear Mike! and nice info!

Bravooooo! dear Brian!

So glad to see these interviews are continuing. Thank you

Great interview! Thanks!

You’ll have to have a pt 2- his solo in the Shostakovich 7 is legendary.

I love ❤️ Sam!

Sorry to jump back in again, but it's hardly surprising that a major influence upon Floyd was a vocal teacher he had in his earlier years. If you know Floyd's two CD's on Crystal Records, or his "Jabba The Hut" recording, who know how much and how well he 'phrases' a melodic line, like a good classical vocalist. What a completely thorough musician. I wish I could express to him how much everything he ever said to me, or 'demoed' for me on his tuba, still sticks in my mind today.

Just found this tremendous video. This man pulled ME yelling and screaming out of the world of squeeze, mash and blast into the world of singing into the horn, hearing the best trumpet sound you can and play to and with that sound. The power of the brain is incredible . Vince helped me to hear better in playing the horn in every aspect and style--orchestra, small group, BIG BAND, PIT, CONCERT BAND ---Just plain practicing. HEAR IT! PLAy it.

Terrific interview

I owe Me. Scarlett for my ENTIRE career!-- Michael McClary
