Johan de Meij:T-Bone Concerto/ José Milton Vieira - Johan De Meij -The United States Army Field Band

I had a pleasure to play this amazing concerto with the composer himself, Johan the Meij conducting the U.S. Army Field Band at the ITF 2018, in Iowa City, Iowa! This was definitelly one of my favorite moments in my life!

Excellent performane by everyone. Since its debut performance, this piece has become one of the greatest trombone concertos ever composed. It is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. And to see the composer himself obviously enjoying hearing his work from the podium is yet another aspect of the magic that is called music.

Version française : "Superbe prestation ! Bravo au concertiste que je ne connaissais pas (désolé, je suis trompettiste) et bien sûr au grand maître compositeur qui a pris la direction ce jour et a changé de continent pour l'occasion. Si vous avez l'occasion de venir en France, et plus précisément en Bourgogne, n'hésitez pas à vous manifester pour proposer votre talent dans un brass band ou un orchestre d'harmonie pour la pièce de votre choix. Un accueil chaleureux est assuré à tous les deux !" Version anglaise : "Wonderful performance! Congratulations to the soloist whom I didn't know (sorry, I am a trumpeter) and of course to the great master composer who conducted today and crossed continents for the occasion. If you have the chance to come to France, and specifically to Burgundy, please don't hesitate to reach out to share your talent in a brass band or wind orchestra for a piece of your choice. A warm welcome is assured for both of you!"

Conheci esse fantástico trombonista durante um festival em Barra Mansa RJ, não sei dizer o que é melhor nele se é a humildade ou o maravilhoso talento que tens.

[@benjungurung1235]

Bravo 1300 from so peaceful music which one is sir??

[@benblessing]

I've been playing this concerto for years, but having the chops to do the whole thing at once proves pretty difficult. How many hours a day do you put in on the trombone?

Hey Ben! It's really difficult piece. In general I like to spend about one hour per day in pieces like that. I think the smart practice is to have a plan in order to "attack" first the difficult parts.( I always start very slow). And the time goes by, I add the rest of the piece around the difficult parts ones. I try do not waste time repeating without a goal. For me, the music has the answer for the technical parts.
