Lots of great interviews of Robert out there, but the ones with Christian are the best. Love both those guys SO much! Can't wait for this weekend, my first time back at Newport Jazz in years. I used to live in Newport, miss it.
never heard robert speak. to me he speaks where his heart is, The Keys. Listened to him for years and still never heard him speak. Thank you for the interview. When is Pharoahe moche coming through on your album. Lynx Scar
04:05 When I was in college, there was a trumpet player who was an excellent musician on a technical level. She was one of the best sight readers in the music program …. destined for a career in a major symphony orchestra. She also held the 2nd trumpet chair in one of the jazz orchestras. This particular orchestra focused on transcribed arrangements of classic recordings by Mel Lewis/Thad Jones, Basie, Mingus, Lionel Hampton,etc. She rarely “soloed” when playing in the jazz orchestra . But when she did, she always transcribed the solo from the classic recordings and played it verbatim. I will never forget watching her grab her sheet music and go to the front of the stage for a “feature “ during a concert. The music starts and everything was going great …… UNTIL she realized the last few choruses of her”solo” were still back at her seat in the trumpet section. She froze, started yelling , stomping, and screaming. Then ran from the stage, down the aisle though the audience (a couple of hundred were in attendance). That was the end of her foray into jazz. 😂😂😂😂😂
