Every time I see Alessi I have the biggest urge to practice. Whenever I just feel lazy I just watch one of his videos.

I've figured it out! In order to be a good musician, I must change my name to Joe

I played in a community band with Joe Alessi Sr. back in the late 90s.

Great series, Michael - love what you're doing with the interviews!

i'd love to see an interview with James Markey!

love these interviews...

Thanks so much Tom! Really appreciate it. Hope all is well with you.

Great interview!

It would be really cool to see an interview with Andy Martin.

A piece called Gotham by Michael Davis. Recorded by the Principal Brass of the NY Philharmonic on Michael Davis Brass Nation CD.

Thanks so much!

The GOAT

Go to the hip-bonemusic website, then to the store, then to music for brass.

i'd also love to see an interview with James A. Martin as well!

Id love to see one with Charles Vernon

Know where I could get the sheet music? I'm really liking the sound of the piece!

I can't find this barber shop quartet he speaks of... I want to hear!

What's the opening song?

His dad tough trumpet at City Collage in San Francisco. He destroyed more trumpet players than you can shake a stick at.

Charlie Vernon.

BORING!
