BAD DOG U - How Did We Get Here-

Royals

This is the first show of the new Podcast Series: Duets From The Trenches. This is an interview with the brilliant free-lance trumpeter from the Chicago area, David Frolichstein. Dave was at the top of his game when the music industry changed in the late 80's and left, only to comeback playing even BETTER now. His story is a MUST HEAR for all aspiring professional musicians or even seasoned pros who could stand to hear a different perspective. To find out more about Dave's story go to his website, http://www.frolicsteinfinancial.com/

Also, I've sort of an Easter Egg hidden in here. Many of my listeners are trumpeters, and for a bit of fun, Dave submitted a G over double high C submission that is included here. Listen to find it! ;-)

Also, PLEASE give us 5*, if you feel you can. I need the help starting out.

Duets From The Trenches hosted by Nick Drozdoff - Episode One: Dave Frolichstein Interview

This episode of Duets From The Trenches, Musicians You Should Know is an interview with Drew Hansen, trumpeter, composer, arranger, educator. This is a linger interview because I felt it important to do minimal editing of our wide ranging conversation and wanted to include a full track from his remarkable CD. We had some technical problems with the interview itself, but I salvaged it as best I could. I think this will prove to be an inspirational listen!

Elena Grijalva Interview

This episode is a wide ranging interview with trumpeter/professor of music, Dr. Joe Lill of North Park University on Chicago's North Side.

Interview with Dr. Joe Lill

Corona Virus downtime experiment with VL70m, NuEVI and a backing track. Sort of a sleepy, mellow version of a tune - with horns having a lazy conversation over a pop acoustic guitar and rhythm track.

Don't Talk

This fortnight's show  is an interview with Mark Steiner, an expert in the use of the EVI, or electronic valve instrument, a double for trumpeters.  This program also features  a project I've been working that had to be delayed. So, my Christmas treat for myself is getting to finish my version of Country Road.

Steiner Interview

This is a wide ranging conversation with evi and trumpet virtuoso, John Swana. This features a lot of his spellbinding music as well on his insights on everything from making a living in music to how to develop your jazz to how to work out on electronic valve instrument. This is a must hear, folks!

Swana Show

As of 1/10/20, this podcast is being redeveloped. I will continue to dedicate my work to music and musicians, but the revised approach will be more independent.
