His musicianship and versatility have astounded me every time we have played together. In addition to his exceptional playing, he is one of the most sought after teachers in the world of brass.

I’m grateful that Gene also played on my New Brass CD, as well as collaborating with me on the 20 Minute Warm-Up for Tuba. Every time I see Gene or get to work with him, it’s inspiring.

    B2P 025 - Chuck Findley presented by Hip-BoneMusic

    Chuck Findley is one of my heroes. The Wall Street Journal front page, feature article on Chuck from the early ’80s hung on my college dorm room wall for a year. He has set the standard for what it means to be a studio musician for five decades. I first met Chuck and heard him live at a Manhattan Transfer recording session in Los Angeles in 1983, a session that also featured Jerry Hey, Gary Grant, Bill Reichenbach and Charlie Loper. It changed my life as a brass player. Years later, I was fortunate to get Chuck to play on my Brass Nation and Trumpets Eleven CDs. His playing took those projects to another level, as it always does.

    I have always been a fan of great brass quintet playing. From my days in college and being a part of my own quintet, I have total admiration for the rare individuals who can make a quintet happen on the professional level. I first heard Triton Brass in 2011 at the Boston Conservatory and realized immediately that they are that rare collection of individuals. It was a pleasure to sit down with Stephen, Andrew, Shelagh, Wes and Angel and find out the secret to their success.
