Appreciate your music so much!! Love hearing you play!!💛
Your dedication amazes me always, my friend. I love seeing you more explaining the inner workings of your craft…your gift. 💝 thanks for being YOU!
A fascinating interview with a great brass musician - thank you
Thanks
Thanks to the musicians who have inspired me my whole life playing trumpet
Thank you so much for your generosity! We are glad you have found our interviews helpful!
i have one of those trumpets...
Hi nice job you doing What machine are you using
What about the Dynamic mouthpieces Can they be made for sleeves?
Yes, we can convert Dynamic Mass mouthpieces for sleeves!
Love this, Thanks.
It's hard to believe you had those thoughts. I enjoy your music❤
Wise advice and insight. If you are interested in a music career take heed of Scott’s thoughtful perspective of getting an education and making a living.
Great interview!! Thanks so much for doing it!! Joe Triscari
Great interview! I saw Alan play with Woody and also with Chick. We have influences in common like Vinny and Rayburn at Eastman and others. Didn't Clark do the upside down thing with his flugel also?
The video and audio quality is soooo good!!!!
The Bach Bb trumpet Allen played on his initial solo album, recorded in 1979, was a gold-plated 72LT with a #43 leadpipe he purchased from Hal Espinosa
Chris Chris botti You are a great trumpet Player, I love you music.I'll listen to you all the time You remind me of miles David's Your Articulation is very good.Keep up the good work and stop doubting yourself.Just let the music flow peace
Great explanation for why sleeves are a thing. I never knew!
❤🥰❤😘😘
🥰❤️
🥰❤️
Makes me want to try one, as another 8D player.
I wonder if this can solve intonation issues ( like the typical Bach Bb trumpet flat intonation problems between C and E in the Staff ).
Thanks for the encouragement Chris, I appreciate this very much....I am that guy who plays in a room by himself...love to jam with the Steps of Positano. Love this haunting melody...and this city is amazing.

Sebesky or Chattaway arrangement?
Ravii is the "Best".
Cool video❤
too cool, VK! i was in VK in 80-81, before Ravi tho...
Can we conclude that it’s not about “airflow” but Energy through the instrument ? Energy that we make ? Because I’m fact, the air is already inside, it’s everywhere. Another point of view is that too much airflow can increase the mentioned Back Pressure and therefore, clog the “freedom” and overall perception of things, altering all the Embouchure ? Thanks for sharing this 👏
❤ great Chris Botti ♥️

Megumi is an absolute treasure! I grew up in Milwaukee (where she plays principal trombone in the symphony) and she's been a model of sound, artistry, and poise for my entire musical life.
it's easy to have a "take" on this... and of course opinions vary. But consider the decades long research and experience Bob Reeves (himself) undertook, collaborating with Bill Cardwell, Carrol Purviance, and dealing with the who's who of elite trumpet players. Bob passed all this to John and Brett. Whatever you think you know, I suggest it is very prudent to simply trust in these guys - impeccable integrity, highest standards, and "THE" knowledge. Let them dial in your gear and off you go - KS.
Played around with it but could not draw any conclusions

Great interview!!! I’ve admired Charlie’s playing for years!! I believe I met him once years ago… If he happens to see this I was just curious if he ever worked with my uncle in LA.. Ray Triscari…. Very VERY educational video!!! Thanks for sharing this!!! Joe Triscari
Btw I just bought his book!!! Outstanding!!!
Are there any negatives with the adjustable shank system? Or is it unnoticeable between adjustable shanks and non-adjustable?
Great video! Easy to understand
Great podcast 😊
🌸 "Promo sm"
There are quite a number of similarities to what Greg and Jim Manley preach with some Claude Gordon "Brass Playing is No Harder Than Deep Breathing". His relaxation techniques are inspirational.
What a fantastic conversation with a brilliant trumpet player from one of my favourite bands who I have admired for years. Bobby is inspiring. Thank you so much John and Bobby!, Ronan from Dublin Ireland. x
Unrelated question; What wristwatch was Chris wearing in this video? Looks cool!
Hi Jon great to see you ,,,reminds me of the great old days !!
Thanks for the great interview with Chris Botti. I will now listen to Episode 25 and 15. Kenny Snodgrass
Did he play on California love 🤔
