Ira Sullivan is equally proficient on the trumpet and fleugalhorn and I think his ideas seem to flow more melodically on the brass.

Ron 'midiRon' Davisson

If  you are a professional musician, playing any type of gig today, you can see that the entire world of music is changing while we watch.  I'm 62, and the music world I grew up in and worked in has changed.  The support, applause and esteem a good territory jazz/big band player used to receive has packed up and moved to Canada, Europe, Japan, and South America, leaving in it's swath a population of Musicians trying to adapt to the current trends by buying laptops, minidisc players, karaoke tape and CD devices, and, of course the MP3 player.  The singers and instrumental soloists of today can perform at a concert or clubdate without a live band. more rantingmore 
If you've been playing for a while you have been told many incredible things by club owners,  record executives, personal managers, leaders, and anyone who has a chance at making a buck off your chops. People from all over the world have sent me their musician -lies- to post.  Visit my Great Musician Lies Pages(3), read the postings, realize that you, too, have heard these same things, and then think of the things that you have been told and send them to me.(exp. "Don't worry, there'll be a roadie there to help you tear down" or "Don't worry about that note - we'll correct it in the mix"). If you are a leader or a sideman, check out the biblical take on clubdating by clicking on Book of Jobbing, and after that check out my 11 pages of -Musician Jokes-rd-
