Podcast appearances and mentions of Arturo Sandoval

Самый титулованный кубинский трубач и композитор Артуро Сандоваль выпустил новый альбом с коротким названием SANGÚ - КРОВЬ. Это 49-й студийный альбом где мастер обращается к внутреннему миру, с небольшой помощью своей семьи. Его сын Артуро 'Тури' Сандоваль III, и невестка Мелоди Лисман, помогли в создании и продюсировании альбома. Это яркое, захватывающее произведение, где сталкиваются дух предков, необработанный грув, мастерская импровизация и с трудом завоеванная свобода - новая глава которая продолжает не только чтить историю, но и создавать ее.Во время пандемии, когда концертные площадки были закрыты, разочарование Сандовала от необходимости сидеть дома привело к всплеску творчества. Я начал сочинять новые мелодии и снимать видео каждый день. Два с половиной года я этим занимался и написал несколько сотен новых композиций. Сын и невестка отобрали 100 из этих песен, а затем вернулись к старшему Сандовалу и попросили его выбрать всего 12 для записи нового альбома.Достатойно подробно я рассказывал о этом артисте, когда обозревал его альбом 2022 года. Настоятельно рекомендую перейти по ссылке и послушать, особенно тем, кому нравится латинский джаз. Маэстро очень повезло, что у него есть молодежь, которая заинтересована в его творчестве. Пусть они и не музыканты, но их идеи и стремление улучшить музыку приносят хорошие плоды. Альбом получился современный, полный новаторских штучек, но при этом преданный кубинскому фольклеру и африканским ритмам.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1892268144RHYTHM & SOUL - https://t.me/discor/6585Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

Es curioso que uno de los trompetistas latinos más cotizados en EU y con más de 52 discos grabados en todo su historial dedicado a la música sea tan desconocido Se llama ARTURO SANDOVAL. Ha sido nominado a los Premios Grammy en 17 oasiones y se le han concedido en 9 ocasiones.El trompetista de jazz DIZZY GILLESPIE, en una actuación en La Habana, le subió al escenario y le presentó como el LOUIS ARMSTRONG cubano Es lógico que le dediquemos este programa.

El South Bronx ardió en los años setenta. Los propietarios especuladores quemaban sus propios edificios para cobrar el seguro y barrios enteros desaparecieron entre las llamas. De ese mismo Bronx, sin embargo, nació una de las músicas más poderosas del siglo XX. Y el hombre que la conceptuó tenía dieciséis años cuando grabó su primer disco. Willie Colón —fallecido el 20 de febrero de 2026 a los 75 años— no era solo un trombonista. Era el cronista de la diáspora puertorriqueña en Nueva York: su orgullo, su violencia, sus contradicciones y su dignidad. En este episodio escuchamos su música como lo que es: un documento histórico. Desde El Malo (Fania Records, 1967), su debut junto a Héctor Lavoe, hasta Siembra (Fania Records, 1978), el manifiesto que grabó con Rubén Blades y que vendió más de tres millones de copias, la trayectoria de Colón traza el momento exacto en que la salsa neoyorquina pasó de ser música de barrio a convertirse en discurso político. «Pedro Navaja» no es una canción: es un relato corto de primera categoría con una orquesta funcionando como coro griego. «Plástico» es crítica de clase. Y «El Gran Varón», grabada en 1989 cuando hablar de homosexualidad y VIH en la radio era prácticamente un tabú, es un acto de activismo puro. Colón entendió antes que nadie que su comunidad vivía en los márgenes del sistema. Y se pasó la vida convirtiendo esos márgenes en el centro del mundo.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring Mariachi trumpet performer and recording artist José Hernández, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "José Hernández trumpet interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here   Few people have had a greater impact on Mariachi music over the past 50 years than José Hernández, and today José joins us to share his musical upbringing, his influences and education, his passion for education and some very interesting insights on balancing a professional music career with business ventures, such as his restaurants.   José is a composer, arranger, performer and recording artist, including being a key musical coordinator on Linda Ronstadt's landmark 1987 Spanish album, Canciones de Mi Padre, where he helped guide her pronunciation and the Mariachi direction of the music.   Plus, he continues to inspire younger generations through his educational programs, and founding two world-famous ensembles: Mariachi Sol de México®, and Reyna de Los Ángeles®, America's first all-female professional mariachi ensemble.   José is, relatively speaking, just down the road from us here at Bob Reeves Brass in Valencia, CA, so if you're in LA make sure to drop by both our shop and the Casa del Sol Cocina down in Irvine, for amazing food and entertainment! On Saturdays, the master could be there himself! About José Hernández: José Hernández is an internationally renowned Mariachi musician, composer, educator and cultural ambassador. He is the founder and musical force behind Mariachi Sol de México, the trailblazing Mariachi Reyna de Los Ángeles, the Mariachi Heritage Society and the Mariachi Rams, in partnership with the Los Angeles Rams.   Born on August 27, 1958, in Mexicali, Baja California, José comes from a proud lineage of mariachis and musicians, with family musical roots tracing back to the 1700s. He was named after his grandfather, José Hernández, a musician born in 1901 in Jalisco, Mexico, who helped lay the musical foundation that would inspire future generations.   In 1981, José founded Mariachi Sol de México® with a bold vision: to expand the boundaries of mariachi music and elevate the genre beyond its traditional roots in ranchera and golden-age Mexican cinema. Under his leadership, the ensemble has become a global ambassador for Mariachi, known for its musical excellence and genre-blending innovation.   Throughout his illustrious career, José has been nominated for four American Grammy Awards and nine Latin Grammys. He has collaborated with a remarkable roster of artists, including Vicente and Alejandro Fernández, Luis Miguel, Marco Antonio Solís, Lola Beltrán, Celia Cruz, Selena, Vikki Carr, Linda Ronstadt, Arturo Sandoval, José Feliciano, the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and The Beach Boys.   Today, José Hernández continues to perform, compose, and educate while working on his highly anticipated autobiography, which will reflect on his 50-year career and the profound impact of mariachi music on American culture and the global stage.

Leopoldo Fernández y Aníbal de Mar en las pieles de sus famosos personajes "Pototo y Filomeno", con el apoyo de la orquesta "Melodías del 40" del maestro Regino Frontela Fraga, comenzaron el programa con el son montuno de Félix Cárdenas: "Yo pico un pan". Grabación producida por la etiqueta "Puchito" hacia 1955. Muy a propósito del aniversario 113 de este compositor, tresero y guitarrista matancero, será un gusto retomar algo de su riquísima producción autoral. "Quiero un sombrero", otra de sus composiciones, llega a la manera del gran Orlando Guerra "Cascarita". Lo acompañan en esta grabación registrada a mediados de los 40 por RCA Víctor, la orquesta "Casino de la Playa" con un descollante Pérez Prado al piano. La señal de la antigua CMQ de Monte y Prado, foco artístico importante de La Habana allá por 1945, nos trajo la sonoridad de la veterana jazz band "Hermanos Castro" con su cantante Orlando Planas. "Revoltillo", guaracha de Félix Cárdenas, antecede a otro de sus éxitos de esos años: "El cuento del sapo", un son montuno que grabó con la orquesta del trompetista Julio Cueva otro olvidado cantante cubano: Reinaldo Valdés "el jabao". Desde el son al guaguancó, la guaracha, el montuno y el bolero, entre otros tantos géneros, el legado de Félix Cárdenas indiscutiblemente contribuyó a la evolución de la música popular. Nació en Matanzas el 6 de noviembre de 1912, y la mejor manera de celebrar su vida y obra es escuchando algunas de sus creaciones. "Ya Mantilla se botó", un guaguancó de Félix Cárdenas a la manera de Faz, Espí y Vallejo con el Conjunto Casino de 1952. Despedimos este breve segmento con el bolero "Oye una canción para tí" y el son montuno "A bailar monte adentro". Cantan Beny Moré y Juan Antonio Jo "El Fantasmita". Arribar a los 95 años con la increíble lucidez vocal de Omara Portuondo, es sin lugar a dudas, una suerte inmensa para la cultura cubana. Seguidamente una selección de grabaciones históricas nos permitirán celebrar la respetable carrera de "La Novia del Feeling". Así volverá a deleitarnos aquella simpática mulata que, finalizando los años 40, iluminó los escenarios integrando los fabulosos cuartetos "Loquibambia" de Frank Emilio, y los de los también pianistas y compositores Orlando de la Rosa y Aida Diestro. La voz del feeling que, luego de 50 años en los escenarios, como parte del proyecto "Buenavista Social Club" logró darle un nuevo y definitivo aire a su ya extensa trayectoria, volviendo a los clásicos cubanos. Con cuatro piezas, que igualmente representan importantes momentos de su carrera como solista, celebramos los 95 de Omara: "Llanto de luna" de Julio Gutiérrez; "Nada para ti" de Enrique Jorrin; "Como un milagro" de Juanito Márquez y "No me vayas a engañar" de Osvaldo Farrés. De Artemisa para el mundo. El 6 noviembre de 1949, hace 76 años nació Arturo Sandoval, una de las grandes leyendas de la música popular y el jazz cubanos. En esta última categoría, muy especialmente, no ha dejado de destacar este valioso músico. Sincronía de alma y grandeza su encuentro con el gran Dizzy Gillespie, así como la conjunción con otros importantes músicos de su generación que luego de integrar la Orquesta de Música Moderna en 1967, cinco años más tarde diera paso a la aparición de la banda más influyente de los últimos tiempos: "Irakere". Multifacético e incombustible, ha dejado una copiosa discografia en la que maravillosamente ha reflejado su virtuosismo así como el infinito caudal de referentes de la música clásica, lo popular y bailable cubano, y el jazz norteamericano. Felicidades Maestro. Unos minutos junto al gran Arturo Sandoval.

Arturo Sandoval is a legendary trumpeter, pianist and composer. Since he defected from Cuba over 30 years ago his accomplishments have been simply remarkable. He's a 2024 Kennedy Center Honoree. He's won 10 Grammys, 6 Billboard Awards, an Emmy, the Hispanic Heritage Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He's a master of Afro Cuban rhythms and a virtuoso in both jazz and classical music. He's performed at the White House and at the Super Bowl.My featured song is my newest single, “Mi Cachimber”.

This chance encounter propelled him into collaborative projects with Ellington Shy. Not just that, his youth also witnessed a stint to perform with jazz icon Chico Hamilton's band, a worldwide tour with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and participation in the Tony-award-winning "best musical" "Memphis" written by Bon Jovi's keyboardist, David Bryan. His collaboration with the ten-time Grammy awardee Arturo Sandoval to create a series of online videos saw a meteoric rise to fame, captivating millions globally.

His rich portfolio further extends to performances with soul music royalty Aretha Franklin, Seth MacFarlane — the brain behind Family Guy, the legendary Frankie Valli, and Noel Gallagher from Oasis. A proud alumnus of the Berklee College of Music, where he honed his skills under the guidance of trombone maestros including the illustrious Phil Wilson, Paul's journey came full circle when he reunited with Wilson to craft a successful video series, a project he cherishes dearly. This reunion bore the genesis of "Bone Masters," a pioneering internet show helmed by Paul, wherein he engages with living legends of the trombone world, orchestrating masterclasses and interviews, thereby creating the most expansive educational video library dedicated to the trombone. Paul's live performances are a league of their own, innovatively blending trombone with technology to forge sounds traversing Jazz, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Electronic genres. Leveraging modern technology and keyboards coupled with trombone improvisations, he crafts a transcendental musical experience. Apart from his musical endeavors, Paul is a well-recognized name in the online business arena, having secured numerous business accolades, including the prestigious 2 Comma Club awards on multiple occasions.

fWotD Episode 2726: Takin' It Back Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 21 October 2024 is Takin' It Back.Takin' It Back is the fifth major-label studio album by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. Epic Records released the album on October 21, 2022. Trainor worked with producers including Federico Vindver, Gian Stone, Kid Harpoon, and Tyler Johnson. Featured artists include Scott Hoying, Teddy Swims, Theron Theron, Natti Natasha, and Arturo Sandoval. It is a doo-wop and bubblegum pop album, which Trainor conceived as a return to the sound of her debut major-label studio album, Title (2015), after its title track went viral on TikTok. Takin' It Back's lyrical themes revolve around motherhood and self-acceptance.Trainor promoted Takin' It Back with public appearances and televised performances on programs such as The Today Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The album was supported by the release of two singles, "Bad for Me" and "Made You Look". The latter peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Trainor's first song to enter its top 20 since 2016, and reached the top 10 in other countries. Reviewers thought the album effectively showcased Trainor's maturity and growth over her career as well as her musicality, but they were divided on whether it was a progression from her earlier work.

There are times when you get a sense that you're talking with an old friend that you've actually never met. There are shared times and memories that travelled on parallel lines but somehow never managed to intersect. That's the best way that I can describe the conversation I had with Shelly Berg. From places lived and mutual friends, to times spent working with Jazz Aspen Snowmass in Colorado, our off-mic discussion created “allegría,” the Spanish word for joy, which is not only the name of his new album, but the foundation of his perspective on life.  Shelly feels that the more an audience feels included in the music, the better time everybody has, the more opportunity there is for the music to reach - and move - them. That's the foundation of ‘Allegría,' a collaborative album of  Berg originals, plus fresh takes on classics from Leonard Bernstein and The Beatles, performed with longtime friends, bassist Carlitos Del Puerto, drummer Dafnis Prieto and special guest, Melvin Butler.  Shelly draws inspiration not only from his experiences as a leader in higher education as dean of the University of Miami's Frost School of Music since 2007 - and before that  as a professor at USC's Thornton School for 16 years - but also as a collaborator with jazz legendary international artists, including Gloria Estefan, Arturo Sandoval, Steve Miller, and Pharrell Williams, among others.  All of that rich backstory is brought into ‘Allegría,' creating an understanding of joy, and all its co-existing chambers — sorrow, longing, faith, peace, reflection.  Shelly describes it as, “A big narrative made up of smaller ones,” that allows listeners to feel “connected to the music and the arc of the album.” That's where our joyful conversation begins.

Raised in the San Francisco jazz scene, Hale Baskin has always brought her uninhibited and ready-to-rumble personality to her performances. By the time she was twenty, Hale had already been awarded three DownBeat Magazine Awards for Student Jazz performances, performed with notable musicians and ensembles like Arturo Sandoval, the Count Basie Orchestra and Jamie Davis, and the Mike Vax Big Band—not to mention led her own ensemble in multiple Western states. In 2010, Hale relocated to North Texas, where she began experimenting with the personalized sound that's now her trademark: funky, sly, and polished without being sterile. Her current projects include the Southpaw Preachers, a creative soul-funk band that plays both original music and covers; and Jazz Addiction, a swing band whose repertoire, ranging from Motown to Bossa nova, breaks the category. Hale brings her humor, extensive professional background, and entrepreneurial spirit to each aspect of her business. For private events, she often acts as an informal Master of Ceremonies, coordinating the many moving parts of a stage performance before seamlessly delivering the next number. As a band leader, Hale focuses on cooperation and accountability so that each member has the space to play to their strengths—literally! The Southpaw Preachers and Jazz Addiction travel nationally for performances. Outside of these projects, Hale accepts freelance work in both live and studio contexts, and teaches voice lessons out of her studio in Denton, TX. As a female business owner, Hale is active in local politics, social justice, and environmentalism. https://www.halebaskin.com https://www.instagram.com/halebaskin/

On the podcast this week, Our Land's Laura Paskus sits down for a two-part discussion with Arturo Sandoval, one of the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970. In the first half of their conversation, Sandoval tells us about his role in putting together the first event and takes a step back to look at how it has since changed. Later, the two talk broadly about the concept of colonization, how it has defined the world around us and observe how it is intertwined within capitalism. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nmif/message

Una antigua producción de la etiqueta Víctor nos permite regresar a los albores del siglo XX y, de alguna manera, rescatar del olvido a estos veteranos músicos cubanos identificados como grupo "Apolo". De ellos no existe apenas información, pero al escuchar su versión de este viejo son adjudicado a María Teresa Vera con el título de "Oye Miguel los hombres no lloran", o "María Luisa", comprobamos que en marzo de 1927 ya utilizaban la trompeta. Ante la ausencia de una industria discográfica cubana, y de las mínimas condiciones técnicas para grabar, fueron estas veteranas etiquetas norteamericanas las que por entonces introdujeron en sus catálogos lo más sobresaliente en lo artístico y musical de esos años. María Cervantes grabó mucho para el sello Columbia. Con su gracia singular, acompañada de su piano de cola, allá por los años 20 comenzó a trazar un camino que un artista como Bola de Nieve más tarde llevaría a su máxima expresión. Trovadores, artistas del teatro criollo, agrupaciones populares e interpretes líricos comenzaron a dar fisonomia a los catálogos de aquellas etiquetas foráneas que muy pronto, a través de cientos de ediciones en 78 revoluciones por minuto, hicieron trascender el cancionero cubano más allá de nuestras costas. Año 1927: la guitarra de Alberto Villalón, uno de los cuatro grandes de la Trova Cubana, acompaña las voces prima y segunda de Juan de la Cruz y Bienvenido León. Las largas travesías en vapor con destino a Nueva York valieron la pena cuando de las tablas de míticos teatros como "Alhambra" y "Payret", felizmente llegaron al disco los bufos cubanos. La mulata y el negrito, fueron dos personajes arquetípicos que destacaron en infinidad de libretos de la época. Ramón Espigul y Lola Mayorga, llegan desde una edición Víctor del año 1916. Voces entrañables que fueron modelando el cauce evolutivo de la música popular cubana. Sin la existencia del dueto de Maria Teresa Vera y Lorenzo Hierrezuelo, probablemente sus derroteros hubieran sido diferentes. Con dos piezas del poeta del Son Ignacio Piñeiro, despiden este primer segmento: "Cantares del abakuá" y "Que bonita es Cuba". Dos cortes que nos recuerdan además la importancia de la radio independiente con sus programaciones "enlatadas" y en directo. De los históricos registros fonográficos de principios del siglo XX pasamos al riquísimo mundo rítmico de la rumba y el guaguancó. Patato Valdés y Totico. Rumba y guaguancó en Nueva York. Transplante sonoro que, a día de hoy, resuena en sitios míticos de la gran ciudad como el Central Park. El 13 de marzo de 1917 nació en La Habana el pianista, arreglista y compositor Felipe Dulzaides. A la distancia del 107 aniversario de su natalicio, recordamos con algunas grabaciones históricas algo de la vida y obra de este pionero del jazz cubano. No hay dudas de que su aporte más notable lo dejó al frente de "Los Armónicos", formación que fundó a mediados de los 50s y que, en diversas etapas, pasó del formato de quinteto a sexteto adaptándose a las corrientes que marcaron el ambiente musical desde entonces hasta los primeros años 60s, siendo parte indispensable de la intensa banda sonora de clubes y cabarets. De la copiosa discografía del trompetista Arturo Sandoval escogemos tres temas que marcan diferentes puntos de giro en su extensa trayectoria en los escenarios: "Iyá", clásico del jazz afrocubano es un tema de su autoría que nos recuerda su paso por una de las bandas más influyentes del jazz y la música popular cubanas: "Irakere". "Groovin High", tema original de Dizzy Gillespie, figura icónica del jazz norteamericano con quién Sandoval mantuvo fuertes vínculos en lo musical y personal bien importantes, es uno de los temas con que el trompetista cubano ha reverenciado además su deuda con las corrientes del swing y, particularmente, el be bop. "Manteca", clásico que firma Chano Pozo, marcó en 1947 la feliz confluencia del mítico percusionista con Dizzy.J Jazz AfroCubano de altos quilates.

OpusX, Chateau Fuente, Julius Caeser, Cuesta-Rey, shall we go on? You wouldn't have Dominican cigars without the Dominican people.The mountainous agricultural Bonao region of the Dominican Republic, however, suffers from extreme poverty, an inadequate educational system, and poor water quality, which greatly affects people's health.

El pasado 30 de enero el gran Tito Gómez hubiera cumplido 104 años, y seguramente los hubiera celebrado haciendo lo que más le llenaba el alma: cantar como los dioses. Comenzamos el programa recordando la extensa carrera artística de este cantante cubano. Corrían los primeros años 40 cuando Tito debutaba en discos Musicraft como vocalista de la orquesta "Sevilla Biltmore", banda que hacia sus presentaciones en el Hotel Nacional bajo la dirección del pianista Osvaldo Estivill. Alrrededor de 1943 pasó a la nómina de la que será la jazz band de sus grandes triunfos: la "Riverside" para ser, durante más de 30 años, su voz distintiva. En 1975, con la orquesta del violinista Enrique Jorrin, reafirmaba la solidez de su trayectoria artística. Intérprete completo se adaptó fácilmente a la sonoridad de la charanga. Tito Gómez, sin dudas una de las voces altas de la música popular cubana de todos los tiempos. En un estudio con piso de tierra, apenas insonorizado con paneles de bagazo de caña, forrados con tela de yute, comenzó a forjarse la industria discográfica cubana hace 80 años, un importante aniversario que no debería continuar siendo pasado por alto. En 1944, cuando el ingeniero de sonido Ramón Sabat fundaba en La Habana el primer sello discográfico independiente: Panart, todo lo atractivo y apetecible que acontecía en el panorama musical nuestro lo registraban poderosos sellos norteamericanos como RCA Victor, Emerson, Columbia, Brunswick, entre muchos otros. Merceditas Valdés, "la pequeña aché" canta desde una de las primeras grandes producciones Panart de finales de los años 40, dedicadas a preservar el acervo AfroCubano: "Toques de Santo". La floreciente industria fonográfica independiente, que ya en 1960 representaban poco más de 30 sellos, fue coartada por la rigidez de una política cultural marcada por el extremismo y absoluto control de todos los medios de difusión por parte del llamado gobierno "revolucionario". El 30 de mayo de 1961, la pionera casa discográfica fue intervenida bajo la denominada "nacionalización". La desaparición de Panart, junto al resto de disqueras independientes, fue otro durísimo golpe que eclipsó un importante y efectivo entramado de difusión y edición de música popular que funcionaba maravillosamente, situando a Cuba como uno de los puntos de producción musicales del mundo. La era de los conjuntos soneros estuvo bien representada en el catálogo Panart con los estilos de la Sonora Matancera, el Conjunto Casino y el Conjunto de Félix Chappottín. Con un grupo de grabaciones Panart recordamos hoy a Ramón Sabat y su notable aporte a la cultura cubana. Murió en los Estados Unidos el 15 de marzo de 1986 completamente olvidado. A comienzos de la década del 60, con una tradición de más de dos décadas, los cuartetos vocales en Cuba alcanzaban muchísima popularidad. Formaciones como las míticas "D'Aida ", "Los Zafiros", el cuarteto de Méme Solis, Los Bucaneros, Voces Latinas, el cuarteto del Rey, entre otros, ofrecieron al público de esa época un variado repertorio, acorde por supuesto a la inmensa red de clubes y cabarets independientes que -sin descanso- mantenían encendida la noche habanera. Luis Garcia "el principe del feeling" con Los Bucaneros, "Los Zafiros", el Cuarteto del Rey y el cuarteto de Méme Solís nos devuelven algo de aquella riquísima banda sonora. Como ejemplo de la grandeza espiritual de la música como lenguaje unificador y universal, por encima de la estrechez de los dogmas políticos, los maestros Chucho Valdés, Paquito de Rivera y Arturo Sandoval (al cabo de sus notables carreras por separado) vuelven a coincidir en los escenarios para celebrar los 50 años de la fundación de una de las bandas míticas nuestras: "Irakere". Nos vamos con el sonido más progresivo del cauce musical cubano de comienzos de los años 70 que vinculó, como nunca antes, lo bailable con el jazz. Buen recuerdo además para la voz que identificó el esplendor de "Irakere": Oscar Valdés.

Welcome to Episode #112 of "The Other Side of the Bell", a podcast brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. In this episode, John talks with Wayne Bergeron and Jeff Bunnell about their recently released album called "Homage" by the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble.  We hope you'll enjoy their conversation as well as the album. Join us at Dillon Music, November 9-11 for valve alignments and mouthpiece consultations. Email sales@dillonmusic to schedule an appointment! About the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble Album "Homage"  The recording scene in Los Angeles has a long history of great and highly versatile trumpet playing. For the most part, though, these trumpet players rarely get a chance to be featured. In 1957, Tutti Camarata arranged and produced a record called Tutti's Trumpets that featured some of the top session trumpet players in Los Angeles at that time. That was over 60 years ago. Wayne Bergeron and Jeff Bunnell started talking about doing another recording that would feature some of the current session trumpet players here in Los Angeles. Wayne suggested recording a trumpet ensemble CD to Jeff and they loved the idea and thought a choir of trumpets would work well. With that, the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble came into being. In choosing the music Jeff arranged for this CD, he wanted to pay tribute to some of the film composers who are part of the Los Angeles recording scene (and who write so well for the trumpet), and also pay tribute to some of the great trumpet players of the past and present.  Jerry Hey graciously wrote the arrangment for the last track, the iconic Al Jarreau tune "Roof Garden". Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble Members Jeff Bunnell Wayne Bergeron Jon Lewis Dan Fornero Marissa Benedict Dan Rosenboom Rob Schaer Larry Hall Dan Savant About Wayne Bergeron Wayne Bergeron is enjoying a career as one of the most sought-after musicians in the world. Studio sessions, film dates, international touring, jazz concerts, guest appearances, and clinics keep him busy not only in his hometown of Los Angeles but worldwide. Born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1958, Bergeron came to California at age one. He originally started on French horn but switched to trumpet in seventh grade where he found a natural upper register ability. Bergeron credits his junior high and high school teachers, Ron Savitt and Bob Smith, for molding his talent into practical working skills. Bergeron first caught the ear of many when he landed the lead trumpet chair with Maynard Ferguson's band in 1986. Bergeron can be heard on Maynard's recordings of Body and Soul, Big Bop Nouveau, Brass Attitude, and The One and Only Maynard Ferguson.  Bergeron demonstrates daily why Maynard remarked, “Wayne is the most musical lead trumpet player I've had on my band.” As a sideman, Bergeron's list of recording credits reads like a “who's who” in contemporary jazz and pop, running the stylistic gamut from Ray Charles to Green Day. Other names include Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble, Indina Menzel, Leslie Oden Jr., Herb Alpert, The Jonas Brothers, Burt Bacharach, The Dirty Loops, Seth MacFarlane, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Seal, Diana Krall, Tito Puente, Christina Aguilera, Dianne Reeves, Michael Bolton, Earth Wind & Fire, The Pussy Cat Dolls, My Chemical Romance, The Mars Volta, Chicago, Rosemary Cloony, Diane Schuur, Barry Manilow, Lee Ann Womack, Lou Rawls, Eric Marienthal, Kenny G., and David Benoit. Bergeron has worked on over 500 TV & motion picture soundtracks.

After being behind the scene for so many years, Bergeron stepped out on his own with his first solo effort, You Call This a Living?  This debut project earned him a Grammy nomination in 2004 for Best Large Jazz Ensemble, as well as rave reviews from fans and press worldwide. Bergeron's second CD, Plays Well With Others, released on the Concord Jazz label in 2007, was met with the same acclaim. Bergeron's most current (and personal favorite) CD, Full Circle, was released in January of 2016.  Bergeron performs various events for the Hollywood Bowl summer season. He has done guest appearances with the L.A. Philharmonic, The New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Taiwan Symphony, and Tokyo Philharmonic. Bergeron is a National Artist for the Yamaha Corporation of America and is co-designer of the YTR-8335LA trumpet and YFH-8315G Flugelhorn. Bergeron also designed a series of trumpet mouthpieces with Gary Radtke of GR Technologies that are available through Bergeron's website. Bergeron was mentored by legends Uan Rasey, Bobby Shew, Warren Luening, Gary Grant, Rick Baptist, and George Graham. Bergeron hopes to inspire a new generation of young players and enjoys his work as a clinician and educator. “Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than hearing a young musician say that I inspired them or had a positive influence on their life. For me, that's the real payday.” Bergeron is currently on faculty at California State University Northridge. Perhaps Grammy winning composer and bandleader, Gordon Goodwin said it best, “Wayne is a once in a lifetime lead trumpet player.” About Jeff Bunnell Trumpeter Jeff Bunnell has enjoyed a successful career in many musically diverse settings.
