    another notable thing about the movie Soul was that Pixar got the musicians' fingerings correct. This almost never happens. The animated characters' hands and fingers are manipulating their animated instruments correctly for the sounds you are hearing. That's attention to detail.

    Met Andy Martin during his break after a first set of one of his performances with the Big Phat Band. Such a nice guy, totally receptive to my photo request and was all smiles and talking passionate about music. Oh, and he’s one of the most killer trombone players.

    Andy Martin's three rules are exactly right, but I look at it from a different point of view. As someone who is not close to Andy's level, I presume there's always someone out there better than I am. So why should they hire me rather than someone else?
    The person doing the hiring wants a player who can do the job, but they also want a quick decision, and no trouble. So, if you follow Andy's rules (show up, be nice, play well), you make life easier for the person doing the hiring, and they may hire you again. In addition, I propose a rule #4.
    #4: When you're contacted about a job, whether you can do it or not, get back to them right away.
    And rule 4A: If you can't do the job, have some names ready to recommend.
    Thirty years ago, I did personnel for a community orchestra. I appreciated people who gave me the names of good players to call. I have a player list with descriptions like "very helpful" or "prima donna". People remember how you behave, and word gets around.

    The best lead players I heard in LA in the 90’s and early 2000’s were all playing Bachs-Steve Holtman with Watrous, John Grab with Bill Holman and Glen Garret and Bruce Otto with Bill Elliot. All had dark but super focused sounds that projected and they weren’t afraid to put some personality into the part.

      @@TheTromboneChannel It's in the beginning of chapter 84 of her memoir, where she meets her biological dad at one of his concerts. A summary: her biological dad is an LA-based jazz trombonist named Andrew (one could shorten that name to Andy...) who played on a number of big movies (Star Trek, Jurassic World, Lost and countless others) with a big band as a fun side project (probably Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band). Who else could it be, Jack? Who else?

    • @alexkarye9079
      @alexkarye9079 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The term d*xie dates back to the Mason-Dixon line, which was a border between Pennsylvania and Maryland that demarcated the free Northern states and the southern slave states. Daniel Decatur Emmett, a minstrel performer and musician (minstrelsy being a musical tradition that was heavily reliant on racial stereotypes of black people), composed a song in 1859 called "Away, away, away down south in D*xie," which became the de facto national anthem for the confederacy during the Civil War.
      The term is rooted in racism, and a lot of Black people, whose tradition the music belongs to, would prefer not to be associated with that term. As white people, we're guests in this tradition, and I think it's only fair that we give the music the respect it deserves.

      Dixieland music - you know exactly what it is and what it sounds like. Trad jazz - couldn’t that be ragtime music which is something totally different?
      Who actually gets offended when you say Dixieland? Whose day or week was ruined?
