"My audition was in front of the orchestra for Reiner". And we think it is rough now

Jay's a great person - I contacted him about an arrangement of Holst for my trombone choir, and he immediately sent me one free of charge. Thanks for the interview!

Thank you for this. Mr. Friedman has always been my favorite classical player. I first heard him play live in the mid 60's.

Jay ist ein Phänomen! Wird dieses Jahr 84 und sitzt in Chicago immer noch an der 1. Posaune! Inzwischen 61 Dienstjahre. Das gehört in das GUINNESS BUCH DER REKORDE! Alles Gute für Dich weiterhin, Jay! Und Danke David für das Interview + Veröffentlichung!
