[@praisetothemosthigh]

Appreciate the honesty about the issues with Dave M.

[@JonathanSaraga]

Thank you for holding this interview, Jose, and for creating this type of setting for such a great interview to take place. Adam is a huge inspiration to me for many reasons, and this session has a lot of really valuable and important words being exchanged and wisdom and truth being shared. So thankful.

Thanks Jonathan! I appreciate your support. Adam has been a musical inspiration of mine as well. I was always in awe of his ability. But it's when I was able to spend a few days just hanging out with him, I knew I had found a kindred spirit.

Adam turned himself into a FIRST CLASS WORLD CLASS BADASS MUTHAFUKA!! I remember hearing him in Drum Corps, and he was a REALLY GOOD then. Met him a few years later in the show BLAST, and his "extreme technique" was getting better, his range was already easy and effortless. NOW he's just THE MAN!! THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW

I think it might be time for another check in with Mr. Rappa!

This is a really terrific discussion. Thanks!

I can't believe I watched the whole interview! 😲 Wow! The thing is I always wondered why Adam left Monette, now I know why. He s avery free spirited human being not binded by any particular belief systems. Thanks for sharing this podcast with us trumpet mortals.

Thanks! Adam has a very interesting view on life, and that definitely impacts his music. Glad you enjoyed the episode. I hope to have even more thought provoking and eye-opening conversations.

Great interview! Thanks for being so candid about why you left Monette and started Lotus. The main take away from this is interview for me was the “find the easiest path” statement. This helps. Thanks for taking the time to do this interview.

[@prestonbane4176]

i'm very new to getting some actual high range going, but every single note above the staff for me ranges from sharp to super sharp the higher I go 🤔🤔
