Podcast appearances and mentions of Wynton Marsalis

M

Today, we explore the world through phrases. Not just any phrases, but aphorisms – those short sentences with the power to stop us in our tracks, cause us to rethink how we see things, and even make better decisions. I'm joined by James Geary, author of the newly re-released book, The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism. James is a lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School. James is also a self-confessed 'aphorism addict', and he studied the history of what he calls the world's oldest written art form. As you will hear, aphorisms transcend culture and historical periods. And James's work and this conversation refer to the likes of Lao Tzu, the ancient Greeks, through to Mark Twain, and modern figures like Wynton Marsalis and Brian Eno. From a decision-making lens, aphorisms have potency as heuristics. When we think about modern challenges, James explains that they can help us so very much, particularly as AI is taking over the written word and threatening to reduce our cognitive load to zero.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 17ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1970 ainmníodh duine a raibh ó Bhaile Átha Cliath aois 26 mar cheann amháin de na daoine a fuair bás ag an timpiste droichead I Melbourne. I 1986 bhí triúir duine saor ó ghortú nuair a thit eitleán ar fheirm I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2011 thóg fear ó nDurlas 19 euro ó sparán san Ospidéal San Aonach Urmhumhan agus tháinig sé amach go bhfuair sé fíneáil de 100 euro sa Chúirt. Dúirt Breitheamh Elizabeth McGrath go raibh an fear sa Rannóg Fhisiteiripe san Ospidéal agus dúradh go raibh sé cláraithe in oideachas agus go raibh 57 ciontú aige. I 2019 tháinig sé amach go mbeadh áis imir nua do Newport. Leis an chostas de nach mór milliúin euro, dúradh go mbeadh sé go hiontach chun imreoirí sacar a fhorbairt agus chun feabhas a chuir ar an méid daoine a raibh san fhoireann. Sin Elton John le Candle In The Wind – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1997. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2007 fuair amhránaí Teresa Brewer bás ag aois 76.

I 2008 bhris Madonna agus Guy Ritchie suas tar éis 7 mbliain le chéile. Tháinig an preas amach ag rá gan comhaontú réamhphósta go mbeadh Guy Ritchie chun fáil 50 milliúin punt ó Madonna a raibh 300 milliúin punt aici. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Felicity Jones sa Bhreatain I 1983 agus rugadh amhránaí Eminem I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1972 agus seo chuid de amhrán.

She also sang with Tony Bennett, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis. 2008 Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced that their seven-year marriage was over because they had drifted apart. The press reported that without a pre-nuptial agreement, Ritchie could be looking at up to £50million of Madonna's £300million fortune. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Felicity Jones was born in the UK in 1983 and rapper Eminem was born in America on this day in 1972 and this is one of his songs.

Episode 91: Christian McBride. Nine-time GRAMMY winner Christian McBride is one of the most influential jazz artists in the game. His collaborations span icons like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, James Brown, and Sting. He's the leader of multiple acclaimed bands including the Christian McBride Big Band, Inside Straight, and New Jawn. He also serves as the host of NPR's Jazz Night in America and was the Artistic Director of the Newport Jazz Festival for a decade. His story is incredible, and we're setting the stage here with Part 1, The Early Years. Growing up in Philadelphia, Christian was surrounded by greatness. His high school classmates included Questlove, Black Thought, Joey DeFrancesco, and Kurt Rosenwinkel, just to name a few. In this episode, we talk about those formative years, the Philly music scene, and how he broke into the spotlight with Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, along with the wild story of his rare opportunity to play for Miles Davis. We also get into his professional mentality, early lessons on leadership, and what it took to earn respect from legends while still a teenager. Christian is an amazing storyteller, and this conversation is full of history, heart, and laughs. We had the best time recording this one, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Lets go!

In this episode we invite the highly entertaining Lisa Verrico to join us from her native Glasgow and talk us through her career from IPC's Vox magazine to The Times. Commencing with her memory of first hearing Prince's 'Little Red Corvette' as a kid on holiday in Spain, our guest recalls her days of raving (and working in radio) before describing how she got her foot in the door at Vox. Hair-raising Mancunian encounters with Happy Mondays and Mark E. Smith serve as preludes to Lisa's hilarious 1994 interview with Oasis. We hear her "bootleg recording" of the Gallagher brothers' competing impersonations of Mick Jagger on the band's impromptu rendition of 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. A broad discussion of what the '90s meant for pop culture takes in Lisa's memories of Oasis hanger-on Evan Dando and of the altogether different My Bloody Valentine. Clips from a 1989 audio interview with the latter's Kevin Shields and bandmates prompt reflections on MBV's extraordinary sound and their somewhat dysfunctional relationship with Creation's Alan McGee. We return to Lisa's own story by asking her what happened after Vox folded in 1998 — and how she wound up  reviewing (and interviewing) for The Times for 25 years. We also discuss how much the live music experience has changed in that time. Finally, we hear about our guest's 2019 trip to L.A. to interview 17-year-old superstar-in-the-making Billie Eilish. After paying heartfelt tribute to cult neo-soul star D'Angelo — note that news of the death of former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley only reached us after this episode was recorded — Mark quotes from a 1984 interview with jazz giant Wynton Marsalis and Jasper takes us out with his thoughts on Joe Muggs' 2011 interview with the great James Blake. Many thanks to special guest Lisa Verrico. You can find her writing in The Times.  Pieces discussed: Oasis: Shake'n'vac, Evan Dando: Baby I'm Bored, Evan Dando: "I get the feeling I'm being bullshitted", Evan Dando: The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get, Evan Dando: Different Drum, My Bloody Valentine audio, Billie Eilish, D'Angelo: Soul Asylum, On D'Angelo and the Birth of Neo-Soul, D'Angelo: Black Messiah, Wynton Marsalis: The Hottest Lips in America and James Blake: Point Blake.

The RH Factor's Hard Groove might sound uncontroversial to modern ears, but in the early 2000s it was revolutionary. With this record, Roy Hargrove broke away from the straight-ahead jazz revival of the Young Lions era and created something entirely new. Hard Groove blended Roy's trumpet with the voices of R&B and soul heavyweights like D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Common, artists whose platinum-selling albums (Voodoo, Mama's Gun, Like Water for Chocolate) already featured Roy's melodic horn playing and orchestral arrangements.With Hard Groove, Roy flipped the script: instead of lending his sound to the hip hop and neo-soul world, he invited those artists into a jazz record. The result was a landmark project that blurred genres and redefined what jazz could be in the 21st century.You'll Hear It has been nominated for a Listener's Choice award for Best Music Podcast at the Signal Awards.

Cinquième épisode, et sans doute pas le dernier, consacré au grand clash entre jazz et classique. On termine cette semaine avec l'idée folle de Gunther Schuller : plutôt que de laisser les musiciens de jazz "reprendre" des airs de classique, pourquoi ne pas leur écrire une musique originale qui réunirait le meilleur des deux mondes ? C'est ce que Schuller appela le "Third Stream" ou troisième courant. Et de John Lewis à Miles Davis en passant par Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, Bill Evans et Wynton Marsalis, nombreux sont ceux qui se sont engouffrés dans la brèche ! Et puisque le sujet est si vaste et qu'en cinq épisodes nous n'avons pas pu tout explorer, loin de là, Pour Qui Sonne le Jazz reviendra plus tard pour une deuxième semaine de clash entre jazz et classique !Hébergé par Ausha.

The Real Ambassadors is a poignant tale of cultural exchange, anti-racism, and jazz history. And it's a love story — between life-long husband and wife partners, Iola & Dave Brubeck and their vision for a better world. Appalled by the racist treatment of Black jazz musicians in the United States in the 1950s and 60s, the Brubecks wrote a musical based on the Jazz Ambassadors Program established by President Eisenhower and the US State Department during the Cold War. In an effort to win hearts and minds, jazz musicians were sent out around the world to represent the freedom and creativity of America through their art form. Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and most of the other Jazz Ambassadors were Black. The irony is that they were treated like royalty around the world, but could not stay in hotels or play in integrated bands in their own country.Performed live only once, at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1962, the Real Ambassadors featured Louis Armstrong, Carmen McCrae, Dave Brubeck and Lambert Hendricks and Bavan. The musical was a chance for Louis Armstrong to speak out about his deep feelings about racism and segregation in this country — feelings he rarely expressed publicly.The story features original music, rare archival recorded letters sent back and forth between the Brubecks and Louis Armstrong about the project, rehearsal recordings and interviews with Dave and Iola Brubeck. Other voices include: the Brubecks' sons, Chris and Dan Brubeck, Keith Hatschek, author of the  book, "The Real Ambassadors,” Ricky Riccardi, Director of Research Collections for the Louis Armstrong House Museum, and singer/actress Yolande Bavan, the last surviving performer involved in the project.Thanks to: Keith Hatschek, Chris Brubeck, Dan Brubeck, Ricky Riccardi, Yolande Bavan,  Lisa Cohen, and Wynton Marsalis.Special thanks to: The Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation and the Louis Armstrong House Museum; Michael Bellacosa and the Brubeck Collection, Wilton Library, Wilton, Connecticut; The Complete Louis Armstrong Columbia & RCA Victor Studio Sessions 1946-66 Mosaic Records 270; The Milken Family Foundation Archive Oral History Project; and The Library of Congress.Produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson) and Brandi Howell in collaboration with Jackson Spenner.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Geechi Taylor—musician, educator, and Artistic Director & President of the Young Musicians Choral Orchestra—for a deeply moving and honest conversation about music, mentorship, and the meaning of community.From New York to Berkeley, CA, to sharing stages with Wynton Marsalis and Lauryn Hill, Geechi takes us through the twists and turns of a life shaped by rhythm, resilience, and real love. He shares how a trumpet in middle school opened doors to the world, how rejection fueled his growth, and how a circle of fierce mentors—including his single dad—taught him to lead with heart.But this episode is more than a musical journey—it's a story about showing up for the next generation. Geechi opens up about the joys and heartbreak of guiding young people through a world of distractions, inequity, and untapped brilliance. From teaching rehearsals in a laundry room to saving a student from street life, his commitment runs deep. He also shares how losing his wife shifted his perspective, and how self-care for him sometimes looks like unplugging, breathing in the sun, and walking without headphones.Whether you're an artist, parent, educator, or someone just trying to find your way, this conversation is a reminder of what's possible when we listen, love, and act with intention.

Hoy quiero presentarles al contrabajista y productor musical Ignacio Varschausky. Lo conocí en enero de 1999, cuando estaba escribiendo un libro sobre el tango y había viajado a Buenos Aires para documentarme. Ignacio tenía entonces 23 años y estaba al principio de su carrera. En 1996, fundó el quinteto de tango El Arranque con el bandoneonista Camilo Ferrero.Como tantos jóvenes músicos de su generación, Ignacio se había aficionado primero al rock antes de empezar a interesarse por el tango. En los años 90, había muy pocas orquestas de tango en activo. Por eso, Ignacio y Camilo escuchaban muchos discos y transcribían los arreglos existentes, hasta que el guitarrista Alejandro Schwartz empezó a escribir sus propios arreglos de los clásicos más importantes del tango. Pero los viejos maestros que habían vivido y contribuido a dar forma a la edad de oro del tango seguían vivos. Por eso, Ignacio Varschausky y el gran violinista, compositor y arreglador Emilio Balcarce tuvieron la idea de fundar en 2003 la orquesta escuela de tango. Los alumnos pasan dos años aprendiendo los diferentes estilos de música de tango que son la esencia del tango argentino. Los más importantes músicos de tango de la epoca de oro como Leopoldo Federico, Julian Plaza, Raul Garello, Roberto Alvarez, Nestor Marconi, Victor Lavallen y todos los demás enseñaron a estos jóvenes músicos las características y esencias de cada estilo. Esta Orquesta Escuela tiene ahora mas de 20 años y sigue formando a la próxima generación de músicos de tango. Ignacio también ha fundado la organización Tango Vía con otros colegas de su generación, que se esfuerza por dar a conocer el tango en todo el mundo con material didáctico  y talleresde tango. Como productor de compacts y documentales, Ignacio Varschausky también ha hecho mucho por promocionar el tango en todo el mundo y ha recorrido el mundo con El Arranque. Actuaciones importantes fueron entre otros con el Lincoln Center Jazz orchestra bajo la dirección de Wynton Marsalis, y en el Festival de Tango del Teatro Chaillot de París en 2001, endonde lo entrevisté a Ignacio por segunda vez. Escuchen ustedes mismos todo lo que este innovador productor musical, contrabajista y organizador me contó al principio de su carrera sobre por qué estátan comprometido con el tango, la música de su tierra natal.

If you’ve got a high school kid in public school in New Orleans and your kid is interested in pursuing anything in the arts – like music, dance, theater, film, even creative writing – you find out pretty quickly, the school doesn’t have a budget for that. To put on a play, publish a newspaper, learn dance, or most other musical and artistic pursuits, the funds required generally come from fundraisers, or parents’ pockets. Now, when you get to a public high school like NOCCA – the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts – where education and excellence in the arts is the very reason for its existence – it would be impossible to expect bake sales or parents to foot the bill for those expenses. So where does that money come from? It comes from an organization dedicated to raising the funds that help power NOCCA, called the NOCCA Foundation. Adonis Rose is a NOCCA graduate who has gone on to a successful career as a jazz musician. Adonis has won a Grammy, he’s played on every stage that matters - including Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center - he’s accompanied legends like Dianne Reeves and Wynton Marsalis, and since 2024 he’s been Executive Director of the NOCCA Foundation. One of the arts your high school kid might like to study is film. If they do, maybe they’ll graduate and go to film school. And then, if they want to be in the film business they’ll have to move to someplace else where they make movies. Because everybody here seems to agree that apart from a few brief and wonderful years when we were known as “Hollywood South,” there’s no way to have a career in the film business in New Orleans. Don’t tell that to Kenny Morrison. Kenny has been making a nationwide career for himself as a New Orleans-based film-maker since 2001. He principally makes high-end and big-budget commercials – many of which you have certainly seen - for the likes of banks, shoes, hospitals and insurance companies. Kenny is what’s known in the film business as a triple threat – director, cinematographer, and an entrepreneurial film technologist, pioneering cutting-edge visual effects through his virtual-production company, Lucy XR. It used to be generally accepted that there were real jobs – like lawyers, doctors and plumbers – and then there were b.s. jobs like actors, musicians, and film makers. We don’t think so much like that anymore. Maybe it changed because an actor, Ronald Reagan, became one of the most popular Republican presidents of the 20th Century. Jay Z had a successful career as a musician before creating a music business empire. Artists have made millions of dollars selling works of art in the crypto space as NFT’s. Online content creators clean up collaborating with fashion houses and sneaker manufacturers. The demarcation line between art and business has gotten blurred. Locally, Adonis Rose and Kenny Morrison continue to demonstrate that creativity and commerce can happily co-exist. And that’s a lesson we need to take to heart here in New Orleans, perhaps more than any city in the country. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

When the jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant was profiled in The New Yorker, Wynton Marsalis described her as the kind of talent who comes along only “once in a generation or two.” Salvant's work is rooted in jazz—in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and Abbey Lincoln—and she has won three Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album. But her interests and her repertoire reach across eras and continents. She studied Baroque music and jazz at conservatory, and performs songs in French, Occitan, and Haitian Kreyòl. “I think I have the spirit of a kind of a radio d.j. slash curator,” she tells David Remnick. “It's almost like making a mixtape for someone and only putting deep cuts.” And even when singing the standards, she aims “to find the gems that haven't been sung and sung and sung over and over again.” During a summer tour, she visited the studio at WNYC to perform “Don't Rain on My Parade,” made famous by Barbra Streisand; “Can She Excuse My Wrongs,” by John Dowland, the English composer of the Elizabethan era; and “Moon Song,” an original from Salvant's album “Ghost Song.”This segment originally aired on May 31, 2024.

On the latest episode of ‘New Classical Tracks,' trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis talks about his ‘Blues Symphony,' which was featured on latest recording by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Listen now with host Julie Amacher!

durée : 00:59:16 - Candy - par : Nathalie Piolé -

In 2018, Austrian trumpeter Selina Ott made history by becoming the first woman to win first prize in the 70-year history of the prestigious ARD International Music Competition in Munich. That landmark achievement launched a remarkable career that has taken her to concert halls around the world, performing both as a soloist and with major orchestras. Her debut album, Trumpet Concertos, was honored with the Opus Klassik Award in 2021, and she has since released two more acclaimed solo recordings. Though still early in her musical journey, Selina has already established herself as one of the leading voices of her generation.In this conversation, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Selina about some of the defining moments in her life and career so far. In part one, we begin with her recent experience performing Wynton Marsalis's Trumpet Concerto with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marin Alsop. She shares what it was like to collaborate with Marsalis himself and how that experience left a lasting impact. We then reflect on her preparation for, and participation in, the ARD Munich competition—what it took to succeed, and how her life changed overnight following her win. From there, we rewind even further to talk about her early beginnings on the trumpet as a young girl, and the important influence of legendary trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger.[Subscriber Content] In part two, we shift our focus to the balance between orchestral and solo playing, and what it really means to be a well-rounded soloist in today's musical world. We also touch on Selina's relationship with social media and why she chooses to keep a relatively low profile online. One of the more unique aspects of her life outside of music is her passion for horses—she owns several—and we explore how that love for animals complements her musical life. Selina also gives us insight into how she chooses her concert repertoire, both for solo recitals and orchestral performances. And finally, I ask her what advice she would give to a 10-year-old girl dreaming of becoming a musician one day.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Der italienische Bildhauer Medardo Rosso revolutionierte um 1900 die Skulptur und ist heute dennoch relativ unbekannt – eine Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Basel würdigt sein Werk. Wynton Marsalis ist einer der berühmtesten Jazz-Trompeter und ein unermüdlicher Kämpfer gegen gesellschaftliche Missstände. Selbst Kunstinteressierten dürfte dieser Name nicht viel sagen: Medardo Rosso. Rosso war ein italienischer Bildhauer, der die Skulptur um 1900 revolutionierte, ein Zeitgenosse des heute sehr viel berühmteren Auguste Rodin. Inwiefern Rossos Kunst wegweisend war und wieso er heute trotzdem relativ unbekannt ist – das zeigt jetzt eine beeindruckende Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Basel, die in Kooperation mit dem Mumok Wien entstanden ist. Dort war die Schau bereits im vergangenen Jahr zu sehen – und wurde vom Kunstmagazin «Art» zur besten Ausstellung 2024 im deutschsprachigen Raum gekürt. Wynton Marsalis war auf seinem Peak einer der grössten Trompeter, die je gelebt haben. Noch wichtiger aber ist sein unermüdlicher Kampf gegen gesellschaftliche Missstände in den USA – heute mehr denn je. Als Kind erlebte er den täglichen Kampf seines Vaters gegen Rassismus, als junger Musiker definierte er «Jazz» eng als afro-amerikanische Musik und kämpfte dafür, dass die Tradition als solche respektiert würde. Musikalisch bald in unerreichbaren Höhen unterwegs, blieb sein Leben doch immer ein Kampf – und das «Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra» wurde zu seinem Instrument gegen gesellschaftliche Windmühlen. Warum er diesen Kampf noch immer führt und was ihn beglückt an der Musik, das erzählt er in Künste im Gespräch.

En octubre de 1990 se desarrolló en el Estadio Nacional el concierto “Desde Chile, un abrazo a la esperanza”. La convocatoria de Amnistía Internacional reunió a músicos locales como Inti Illimani y Congreso con estrellas como Sting, Peter Gabriel y Sinead O´Connor. Uno de los momentos más extraños y llamativos ocurrió durante el show del trompetista Wynton Marsalis, cuando el público del nacional comenzó a cantar espontáneamente.

This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Susan Slaughter trumpet interview"   About Susan Slaughter:   Born in McCordsville, IN, Susan Slaughter started playing trumpet at the age of 10. Graduating from Indiana University with a coveted performer's certificate, Susan auditioned for and won the Principal Trumpet position in 1967 with the Toledo, Ohio Symphony.   Susan then joined the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in l969 and four years later became the first woman ever to be named Principal Trumpet of a major symphony orchestra.   In 1992, Susan founded the International Women's Brass Conference, an organization dedicated to provide opportunities and recognition for women brass musicians. As a fund-raising effort to support the International Women's Brass Conference, Ms. Slaughter organized and produced the very popular Holiday Brass Concerts, which are now in their second decade, and are performed each December in the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis. Other cities in the United States are holding their own Holiday Brass Concerts to help support the ever-growing International Women's Brass Conference.   In 1996, Ms. Slaughter founded Monarch Brass, an all women's brass ensemble, which has toured in the United States and Europe to critical acclaim.   Susan appears regularly in area recitals and religious programs, and has been a frequent soloist with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, as well as with several other ensembles throughout the country. Her work is represented on a number of Saint Louis Symphony releases, including the highly acclaimed recordings of Mahler's Symphony No. 2, Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5, Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Barber's Capricorn Concerto, and most recently, John Adams' Doctor Atomic. Many of these and other recordings have been nominated for or won Grammy Awards. Susan has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Kathleen Battle, Christine Brewer, Doc Severinsen, Al Hirt in duets, amongst others.   She has served on the faculty of the Grand Teton Orchestra Seminar and the National Orchestra Institute, and has been lecture/recitalist at the International Trumpet Guild, while also serving on its board of directors.   Since the 1980's, Susan has performed the National Anthem and “God Bless America” on an annual basis for the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Club and, at the invitation of the Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent, performed the National Anthem at Game 3 of the 1991 World Series, played in Atlanta between the Braves and Twins (link).   Some of the awards and recognition Susan has received over the years include nomination by Ladies Home Journal for its annual Woman of the Year award, a special Leadership Award in the Arts from the Young Women's Christian Association, the American Federation of Musicians, Local 2-197 Owen Miller Award for loyalty, dedication and fairness in actions and deeds, and the 2007 Arts and Education Council Award for Excellence in the Arts.   Susan has studied over the years with Herbert Mueller, Bernard Adelstein, Arnold Jacobs, Robert Nagel, Claude Gordon and Laurie Frink, and retired as Principal Trumpet from the Saint Louis Symphony on September 1, 2010.   Podcast listeners!

I had the pleasure of recording this episode inside the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center, in L.A., hometown of the talented Wren T. Brown. Wren is an actor, film producer, and theater director, who cofounded the Ebony Repertory Theatre (ERT). We talk in-depth about what that company has meant to him and how it has affected an entire community in a positive way. Influenced by the likes of his great uncle Lester Young, black excellence shaped his life and is the subject of his new book, The Family Business: Four Generations of One Black Family's Artistic Odyssey.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter, band leader and iconic plunger mute designer Kenny Rampton, 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: "Kenny Rampton trumpet interview"   About Kenny Rampton:   Trumpeter Kenny Rampton grew up in Las Vegas, and studied music at both the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and the Berklee College of Music. In 1989, he moved to New York, where he quickly established his reputation as a versatile musician, touring and performing with a veritable who's who in jazz.   Kenny's first road gig was a world tour with The Ray Charles Orchestra. He subsequently went on the road with legendary jazz drummer Panama Francis and The Savoy Sultans, and soon thereafter, with The Jimmy McGriff Quartet.   As a sideman, Kenny has also performed with jazz greats Jon Hendricks, Chico OFarrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Big Band, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Persip and Supersound, Illinois Jacquet, Dr. John, Edy Martinez, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Reuben Wilson, Charles Earland, Tony Monaco, Clark Terry, Slide Hampton, Marcus Roberts, Christian McBride, Geoff Keezer, Richard Bona and a host of others.    Kenny Rampton joined the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis as a full time member in 2010. He also leads his own groups in addition to performing with the Mingus Big Band, The Mingus Orchestra, The Mingus Dynasty, George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band, and The Manhattan Jazz Orchestra.   Kenny is also well known as being the trumpet voice on the legendary Sesame Street. Some of his Broadway credits include "Anything Goes" (lead/solo trumpet), "Finian's Rainbow," "The Wiz," "Chicago: The Musical," "In The Heights," "Hair," "Young Frankenstein," and "The Producers," "The Drowsy Chaperone," "Spamalot," "Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me," "The Wedding Singer," "Hot Feet" and several other shows on Broadway.   Finally, in 2020 Kenny started collaborating with Hirschman Mutes to design the innovative KR Indigo plunger mute, which has been a hit ever since its release.   In our conversation today, Kenny shares how he got his start growing up in Las Vegas in a family of entertainers. Studying trumpet at the time largely meant classical trumpet, but Kenny soon developed a deep love for jazz. This took him across the country to Berklee, and the rest is history.   Kenny tells us what it was like getting a sudden call from Ray Charles to join his orchestra, being on-screen on Sesame Street, and working closely with Wynton Marsalis at the Lincoln Center.   And, we learn the story of how he developed the famous KR Indigo plunger mute, in the midst of the pandemic, as not just a useful tool for musicians but a way to stay engaged with the community during that tough time.   Kenny Rampton is brimming with inspiration and heart, and it was a pleasure to have him on the podcast today.   Podcast listeners!

Listen to a 2022 conversation with David Andrichick, owner of the Chatterbox, an important jazz club located in Downtown Indianapolis. The Chatterbox made national news this week when a video depicting a dispute between the club's bartender and a Trump supporter went viral online. But many news reports and social media posts about the incident left out crucial context about the club's history. Here in Indiana, the Chatterbox is known for celebrating the rich jazz history of Indianapolis and embracing a diverse community of patrons. The club's reputation as a destination for live music has attracted notable patrons, including the Rolling Stones, Terence Blanchard, and Wynton Marsalis. In addition to music, the club has also hosted poets, including the world-renowned Etheridge Knight, who led his Free People's Poetry Workshop at the Chatterbox.  When WFYI's Kyle Long spoke with Andrichick in 2022, he was celebrating his 40th anniversary as owner of the Chatterbox, and they discussed the club's history in-depth.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Russell Hall migrated to the United States in 2007 where his double bass studies progressed quickly through the rigorous programs of The Dillard Center for the Arts and The Juilliard School. Russell deeply understands the jazz tradition, having studied with many of the double bass world's most renowned artists including Ron Carter and Ben Wolfe. Still, he is also an artist looking forward with his own distinct approach to the double bass.   As a first-call bassist in New York City, Russell has performed with some of the biggest names in music including Joey Alexander, Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Jon Batiste, Roy Hargrove, Kathleen Battle, Christian McBride, Emmet Cohen, Russell Malone, George Coleman and many more.  Well known for his work with the Emmet Cohen Trio alongside drummer Kyle Poole, Russell also leads his own bands, including Bessie and the Rainbowkids to much critical acclaim.  Russell Hall joined the Discover Double Bass faculty as a jazz bass specialist in 2022 where he presented his course, Bessie's Bass Busters.  Russell Hall is well known as a member of the Emmet Cohen Trio and bassist for the wildly popular ‘Live From Emmet's Place' series. In this video, he was joined by non-other than the great Christian McBride for a tasteful double bass duo.
