Ravii is the "Best".
Cool video❤
too cool, VK! i was in VK in 80-81, before Ravi tho...
And _you're_ looking like Jon Bon Jovi!
Can we conclude that it’s not about “airflow” but Energy through the instrument ? Energy that we make ? Because I’m fact, the air is already inside, it’s everywhere. Another point of view is that too much airflow can increase the mentioned Back Pressure and therefore, clog the “freedom” and overall perception of things, altering all the Embouchure ? Thanks for sharing this 👏
❤ great Chris Botti ♥️

Megumi is an absolute treasure! I grew up in Milwaukee (where she plays principal trombone in the symphony) and she's been a model of sound, artistry, and poise for my entire musical life.
it's easy to have a "take" on this... and of course opinions vary. But consider the decades long research and experience Bob Reeves (himself) undertook, collaborating with Bill Cardwell, Carrol Purviance, and dealing with the who's who of elite trumpet players. Bob passed all this to John and Brett. Whatever you think you know, I suggest it is very prudent to simply trust in these guys - impeccable integrity, highest standards, and "THE" knowledge. Let them dial in your gear and off you go - KS.
Played around with it but could not draw any conclusions

Great interview!!! I’ve admired Charlie’s playing for years!! I believe I met him once years ago… If he happens to see this I was just curious if he ever worked with my uncle in LA.. Ray Triscari…. Very VERY educational video!!! Thanks for sharing this!!! Joe Triscari
Btw I just bought his book!!! Outstanding!!!
Drive, Determination and Focus. Words of Wisdom from a seasoned musician. ❤
Are there any negatives with the adjustable shank system? Or is it unnoticeable between adjustable shanks and non-adjustable?
Great video! Easy to understand
Great podcast 😊

There are quite a number of similarities to what Greg and Jim Manley preach with some Claude Gordon "Brass Playing is No Harder Than Deep Breathing". His relaxation techniques are inspirational.
What a fantastic conversation with a brilliant trumpet player from one of my favourite bands who I have admired for years. Bobby is inspiring. Thank you so much John and Bobby!, Ronan from Dublin Ireland. x
Unrelated question; What wristwatch was Chris wearing in this video? Looks cool!
Hi Jon great to see you ,,,reminds me of the great old days !!
Thanks for the great interview with Chris Botti. I will now listen to Episode 25 and 15. Kenny Snodgrass
Did he play on California love 🤔
I use clear packing tape.
Been online searching Botti for a few weeks now- happy to find and listen to this commentary- Saturday Morning here in Coral Gables/Miami, Florida!🧡

Good job, John. Sadly, up here in NorCal they're not selling packing peanuts anywhere...anymore. My horn is on the way, with extra layers and margins of bubble wrap. Guess I need to take solace that I may be helping to "save the planet." Doubtful. ;-)
Looking forward to seeing your horn! We'll have to update the video to use other space fillers!
My third valve refuse to into the trumpet so please kindly help me repair it please

Please i need someone to repair my trumpet valves for me please
He's immensely honest and forthright. He's also one of the best trumpet players in the world, Probably top two in my opinion. I also like rick braun. Can you imagine chris botti and chris standring together making music??? Now that would be something.
Separating the mouthpiece from the instrument using paper of course has an effect on the acoustics :-) Making the instrument+mouthpiece longer of course has an effect on the intonation :-) There is a big element of superstition involved here :-)
Thanks for your message. Yes, changing the gap is a tuning device because the insertion of the mouthpiece makes the instrument longer or shorter depending. However, there is no superstition here. The acoustical physics of the gap between the mouthpiece and the leadpipe has been long established. We've been seeing the results of adjusting the gap for over 50 years, including in double-blind tests.
That's how I feel right now about learning Español. I try to combat it by thinking " I've learned mamy words why couldn't I learn more
Just put your heart and mind to it, fully committed, and you'll succeed. Everyone begins somewhere...
What a delightful person, as well as an outstanding musician. Her story of the transformative impact of overcoming that adversity in music school was inspiring.
I dig this man!! I play electric guitar and trumpet so I am familiar with pedals for sure. What was your pedal set up for this? Great sound man!
Why ? Is my question..😮
Good question! Check out this video for why you might want to make this alteration: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZI19uMVyp9mcgqw.html
Why? Why not… It helps to dial in the resistance of the blow of the horn. The gap like a valve alignment is crucial to the overall performance of the trumpet. I have my Reeves mouthpieces and non reeves cut for sleeves and I have been able to dial in exactly what I want from each mouthpiece on each horn I have. Being able to count on what I want, when I want everytime I pick up my horns is paramount to my best performance. If you wanna find out a little what it’s like, do the paper trick to find out if you need more or less gap to help you play better. Then call John or Brett at Reeves and they will help you set up your optimal mouthpiece and/or sleeve(s) for your horn(s).
What a blessing
never met a person passionate about trombone before, very cool.
Tara Thorwald Big kiss to Chris and Happy holydays! Tara from Split, Croatia.
Are you still playing the committee or are you switching to AR
Saw Chris live at the Meyerhoff in Baltimore.
Interesting interview, thanks to both. I have his December CD.
Watching from NYC. I will be at the Blue Note to see Chris Botti and his band this Sunday, 12/24/2023
happy to know more about his philosophy thank you for posted
The pleasure was all mine.
@25:07 That exercise comes from the great Victor Paz who showed Kenny that exercise.
Thank you for sharing! It's unfortunate, we were working on contacting Victor to interview him when he passed. Hopefully we can get Kenny on to tell that story. Victor was a legend.
@@bobreevesbrassI would love that! Get him to explain how he does his “airy” sound technique.
This was fantastic, thanks guys. I'm a huge fan of Chris, his ethos and sound are unmatched in his field.
Always a great podcast
