G. Bruce Boyer on Music, Life and Style

G. Bruce Boyer, friend of The Armoury and legendary menswear writer, has just released his latest book "Riffs: Random Reflections on Jazz, Blues, and Early Rock", an inspiring collection of essays based upon Bruce's love for music and how it connects to style. We sat down for a short chat about the book, his career and his thoughts on style today.

The legend himself! An absolute classic menswear icon Mr. Boyer is. One of the few public figures I would absolutely love to meet in person.

Love seeing GBB on here. I really enjoy both his writings and his personal style. Despite a massive age difference he is among the most inspiring style icons for me. Was lucky enough to grab an old signed copy of his book "Elegance" with a personal note.

This conversation simply never got off the ground. Was excited when I saw the thumbnail.

I do wish we had more time to go deeper on various topics. There is a written interview with Bruce coming out on our website later this month, you would probably prefer that. I'll put it into the description when it's up.

I'm so glad I got to meet Bruce at an Armoury event

Absolutely amazing to have a talk with a menswear legend and icon . As a professional image consultant and professional artist and classic menswear enthusiast I continue to love the your brand the “Armoury” this culture I believe brings a depth to life and makes the everyday into the extraordinary

Bruce’s thoughts on how different artists make the songs their own through their presentation (including stretching the beat) made me think of Herbie Hancock’s story about Miles Davis making a mistake sound right - thought I would share the video - you can skip to about 2:00 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH2Xfauog5Kcr9ksi=Wk4oCn522YXBMRPf

Great video Mark! A very enjoyable and informative conversation. Was wondering if you'd be bringing What's On back?

[@markchodotcom]

Sure, I'm flattered you'd ask. I am assuming people are pretty sick of seeing me in sport chinos by now.

But still no conversation with Gene Krell on the channel 😢

[@markchodotcom]

Sorry to disappoint, unfortunately that video has been suspended indefinitely and I cannot discuss it further.
