Description
Have you ever listened to the iconic lead trumpet solo in Stan Kenton's version of Here's That Rainy Day? Have you ever played on a 13A4A or a Schilke S model? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have been touched by the genius of Mike Vax.
Mike is an iconic trumpet player and educator. His discography of 75 albums includes 20 under his own name. And in the past 50 years, Mike has presented over 3000 workshops around the globe.
In this hang, Mike shares stories about how Willie Maiden "transcribed" on the tour bus, the backstory on the famous Live At Redlands album, breakfast with Stan and Dick Shearer, working with Ren Schilke, how oral surgery helped him become a better teacher, why he didn't wind up in LA, the importance of dialog, and so much more.
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
