Interview with Brian Scriver |
 Raw Brass is pleased to present this interview with Brian Scriver, Toronto trumpeter and performer who has recorded a CD with his band Primal Therapy. Brian is also a consultant for GR Mouthpieces, used by top orchestras, on Broadway, and many Jazz performers.
Brian, please tell us about yourself. I visited your web site www.brianscriver.com and I can already tell that you have a sense of humor! From your bio, however, you have played with some of the greats. Tell us a little about some of your memorable experiences.
....................Thank you for your kind words Don! I am very flattered that you asked me to do this article for your website. As far as my sense of humour (Canadian spelling), I really believe that we should all be able to laugh at ourselves. After all, when playing the trumpet, you are really sticking your neck out.

Interview with Dallas Brass Trumpeter Brian Neal |
 Last evening I had the privilege of attending a concert by the Dallas Brass in Wausau, Wisconsin. The concert was entertaining, creative; and a wonderful example of how those with talent should use their platform to encourage other musicians, especially the youth.
As they performed their concert finale with about 80 of the local high school musicians, it brought back memories from my childhood when our high school band performed with great musicians like Doc Severenson and Clark Terry. I still remember like it was yesterday (I am now 50 years old) being able to sit in their clinics and shake their hands, and dream of the day I might be able to play my instrument like them. (I still wonder, at my age, if that will ever happen!) |
