I was fortunate to play in a few trumpet sections with Eric at Berklee in 1983. He was as sweet and kind then as he appears on this video. He is a natural teacher and helped me improve my music reading. He had a powerful presence and was wise beyond his years, even though he was only 20yo then.
This guy is amazing. He was lead trumpet in the "McDonald's High School ALL-AMERICAN Band" the year I played in it. McDonald's corp use to sponsor the band of 2 HS students from each state. It was very competitive, and it was an extremely high level ensemble. We performed in Carnegie Hall. Eric Played he Hell out of the Jazz Band Lead Trumpet book!!! AND he was a VERY nice guy too. If you read these comments Eric....Hi, this is Joe the Principal French Horn player from Miami, FL. I am now a Yamaha Artist as well! Great to hear this awesome interview! You're still "The Man!" All the best my friend!
I was in the '83 band. I played tuba but played trumpet on the side. I remember a video being played of the jazz band from the previous year and everyone talking about this trumpet player from Hawaii(?). It was him. What memories! Today's kids have no idea about McDonald's All-American Band. It's been gone since the early 90s. What a shame.
Weren’t you guys playing on Jerry Lewis’ Telethon that year?
I had the good fortune to stand six feet away from Eric while he rehearsed Maynard's version of MacArthur Park. He navigated the entire chart beautifully, and when he played that famous bridge-wow. The few times I've chatted with him, Eric's been incredibly nice and just plain cool. Phenomenal player, good guy.
What a wonderful interview! Eric you're far too modest! If you had problems playing lead for Buddy, I've yet to hear a clip showing that on all the RUclips videos that feature you on his band or any others for that matter. When I played lead trumpet on Buddy's band in 1984, at the end of our first tour I developed a major cut on my upper lip. Buddy told me, "Kid, put some Nu-Skin on it! " I looked at him like he was crazy, as it had just come out and I'd never hear of it. I discovered it's very much like SuperGlue!™ Idiot that I was, I went to the nearest drug store, bought it and put it right on the cut just before going onstage. Though it did hold the skin together like cement, it was so brittle, I couldn't get a sound from the horn, because it wouldn't allow my lip to vibrate! I thus had to pull it off, making the cut worse than before, but I somehow tried to play with less pressure and more efficient breath control and somehow God got me through it, until the end of that tour which was only a few days away! I learned to play smarter and let my wonderful 2nd trumpet player Dana Watson do the heavy lifting, though I never laid out of any unisons, just dropped the volume to influence but let him lead those sections, so that I could play the key lead parts with command without running out of gas. Love your Maurice Andre story and your comments on warming up! The only thing I might slightly differ with you about is the Claude Gordon Systematic Approach which saved my career after I had a really terrible slip and fall accident. To me of all the grunt work "chop" books, Claude Gordon at least also has one playing; Arban's, St. Jacome and Herbert Clarke materials with it, so it does include more actual music than say the Louis Maggio System or James Stamp (which I also like along with Boyde Hood's mouthpiece buzzing exercises). In the last couple years I re-discovered open buzzing (without the mouthpiece) and like you, prefer to start with it! You are essentially correct! it's far better to find a way to musically play in the upper register incrementally like Maynard did picking a melody and transposing it into higher keys after mastering it in the lower key, than just pursue them like a power weight lifter. Have a great remainder of your European tour! Wishing your lip speedy healing! You're on of today's finest trumpeters, need I say more?
Hi there. Thanks for sharing your story with us - you rock!
@@ThomannMusic Eric's the one who rocks! I recommended him to take over for me when I left Buddy Rich, to play lead on the road for Frank Sinatra in January of 1985 and he turned me down initially, wanting to finish his scholarship year at Berklee College, but then the next thing I heard was that he took the job a couple of months later and as they say, the rest is history. Eric's become one of the most respected, top call trumpeters in the world! ! He's a wonderful person, marvelous musician/trumpeter/arranger and deserves all the success he has attained! Bravo, Eric!
What an awesome comment.. thanks so much for sharing.. that buddy rich book must have being an incredibly demanding blow...
Un
I just started playing the trumpet at age 41 and I cannot believe it took me so long to discover how great of an instrument it actually is for me. I loved to sing before I started playing, but somehow, playing the trumpet opened up my vocal range and I can now sing harmony, simply by training by ear on the trumpet. I am worried about my lips. Already I feel the inside of my lips getting raw from the pressure of the mouthpiece. Listening to Eric Miyashiro talk about his progression into music is so much like me, and his way of doing things, his approach is how I approach music too, like your friend and teacher. Glad I found this interview!
Eric is the complete package deal. He has a fantastic warm, fat sound whether he's playing low and midrange or off in the stratosphere. His jazz chops are magnificent -- listen to some of the runs he does in his solos --- it's just so delicious to listen to - and as an arranger, he is top shelf. How can someone be so humble? His contemporary horn players also love him.
A real good interview. It was great to hear Eric’s story and opinions on the trumpet. The interviewer was great because he let Eric talk a lot.
A masterclass in the art of interviewing someone - thank you. Apart from really enjoying an inisight on this wonderful musician.
I love the fact that he wasn't afraid to admit his mistakes and the way he approached them. Cool, dude!
Eric sounds to me like a very kind, soft spoken man. I'm very impressed!
very interesting fellow that Eric Miyashiro
It is so amazing that Eric learned to play trumpet without lessons! He is such a great player and has such a beautiful sound/tone. Great interview. Thanks!
Eric, you made a great decision when you refused to study with the negative teacher at such a young age. I am sure that many of us might have gone farther had we been smart enough to do the same. You are a great example to all of us. Thank you!
I've watched this interview a number of times over the last view years and it gets better every time! Thank you, Eric! Such a valuable set of ideas and experiences!
What a fresh breeze..his obsession with music..boy, it’s stunning. His approach to instrument, clearly opposite to many brass musicians.
I feel Eric can play on any horn and be a champion. Specially, I like his thoughts about warm up v.s good tone memory, PHENOMENAL! (‘french horn amateur here, me playing in
between jobs, biotech is stress, my horn is a getaway…)
I first heard Eric when we were in high school in opposing football/pep bands at a game. Their band played "Gonna Fly Now" and I heard the Maynard solos flying away. I grabbed a pair of binoculars from someone, looked at that person playing the Maynard licks, and said to my friends, "Damn, that girl can play!" Although Eric didn't have his signature long hair yet, his skin was very... shall I say... smooth. I met him a few years later, as he was really making a name for himself locally. Since then, it was great to see him flourish year after year to international heights as he is now. Great guy. Right on Eric! Thanks for posting this interview... great perspective on horn playing... as always. Aloha!!
He's a national treasure.
Wow. Mouth piece warm up so contrary to what all brass teachers ever said but his explanation makes perfect sense.
Thank you for the share. Eric is always inspiring, could listen to him play and to his stories endlessly.
Mr. Miyashiro seems like such an interesting guy to me. I definitely look up to him not only as a trumpet player, but as an individual.
My mom her cousins husband is friends with Eric and it is great to see this many people knowing him!
Eric seems like such a kind, down to earth guy, what an incredible trumpet player!!!!
VERY NICE ! THIS GUY IS AMAZING ! Mr. MIYASHIRO IS A BIG MAN !
Fantastic interview - Eric makes trumpet feel very comfortable over the years of following him.
Man is a legend. Love this interview
This was a lovely interview. I enjoyed it very much. Although I am a recorder player only, I have always liked the sound of the trumpet. I had never heard of Eric Miyashiros until today and found him to be a very pleasant person and amiable. It was so moving to hear him speak briefly about Miles Davis, too. Thank you.
I really admire Eric Miyashiro, cool to hear his thoughts! He's very cool and inspiring. So down to earth. I totally agree with everything he says!
Fantastic interview! Thanks for getting this together. Eric brings a lot to the table!
What a wonderful , unbelievable modest fantastic human being !!💕
Whatt?! This is awesome! And great to see you doing this Gary. Miss your playing!
Eric is such a wonderful trumpet player! This interview was a great trumpet lesson in of itself! Eric I always look forward to your fabulous screaming trumpet!
Thanks wonderful, que bueno escuchar un gran maestro con tanta capacidad musical y a la vez ,tanta humildad. Mil y mil gracias 🙏
Thank for this interview it’s such a treat!
Eric is a friend, with whom I attended Berklee College of Music. He is a crazy good musician!
Eric is a bad ass on trumpet .. great interview from both sides .. great job!!
That warmed my heart.
Eric is a completely wonderful man! Great trumpeter too! I can relate to all of his stories, some of which I went through too.
I played trumpet 40years ago and starting back up at 68.Great info. Thanks. I’ve learned one thing so far. The Bach 7c is not for me
Miyashiro is a legend. he can perfectly imitate Arturo Sandaval's style when he wants to, and its amazing
This finished waaaaay too soon! Thank you so much.
a very nice insights, especially in your warm-ups.... thanks for sharing...
Great interview, I liked, but miss He play the Horn, my name is Octavio I live in ATL, GA. But I’m from Guadalajara Mex.34 years ago I had a one class day as well with Bobby Shew, in St. Louis MO. Big trumpeter and Teacher!!! Thanks 🎼🎶🎺🎺
Very informative interview! Thanks
Love this guy. Very humble and has some great insight.
Great Interview, Thank you for Sharing
Very cool interview. Any chance of a followup interview? Eric has a lot more stories to share ... hah, some mischievous ... some more colorful ... all are interesting if not hilarious. I played with his brother throughout highschool and had fun hanging and playing with him a few times. One story about Eric I have to share isn't about anything he said but something that he did. I remember his brother and one of our band directors telling me to listen to this record of one of our school concerts. They watched me in anticipation as I listened closely to the featured soloist of a high instrument ... I don't remember if the piece was a flute, clarinet, or violin feature. I told the guys I couldn't make out which wind or string instrument it was but it sure sounded like a trumpet. When they told me it was a trumpet I didn't believe them. It was beautiful, perfect, music, confident, and balanced. Turns out it was Eric filling in for the featured soloist who for whatever reason couldn't perform that night ... Flu or something. On trumpet. Amazehiung! Insane! And then in later years I heard a handful of recording sessions he made while he was still in high school, joking around with his classmates Probably in the band room ... Chameleon (which I also got to perform alongside him in a benefit concert some years later), Chattaway's Don't Let The Sun Go Down, Rocky, and Birdland, that's all I can remember.
Thanks, Fred. Maybe we will be able to do a follow up sometime in the future :) All the best!
It’s been a while since I played so hard that I couldn’t play anymore and still had to sound decent. Eric Miyashiro still does this on a regular even with decades of playing.
I ve always wanted to know more about Eric, thats my first interview of his....very informative...superglue on the lips?!!!? wow! never heard of trumpet players doing that. Mille merci a Thomann Music! keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm a self-taught bassist for 8 years now, I've faced many challenges in improving and expanding my musical knowledge. I often feel inadequate when talking to or playing with school-taught musicians. I've never gone too long without playing bass, but recently I've thought maybe this just isn't for me or that I'm not improving. Seeing this was really inspirational especially since I very much enjoy Eric Miyashiro's work.
You can do this! Fake it till you make it.
Really enjoyed this interview. Eric has a similar lip structure to my own which is a little thicker in the middle than many players, yet he still soars the tall notes.
Wow, great interview! What a humble and nice man. ❤
I really enjoyed listening to you Eric. I could relate to so many topics that you covered on the aspects of trumpet playing and being self-taught. Even the same feelings about some of the books. I had to laugh. All the best to you.
In the small combo gigs I played in the fifties, sixties, seventies I was pretty ignorant about what it took for the horn players to play more or less continuously for 3 or 4 hours. I recently spent time thinking about my late friend who played trumpet. My hands and arms would get tired but I just didn't appreciate how hard it would be to be a horn player.
a recommended video im happy with!!
Super interview; very interesting
Awesome interview!
Fantastic!
I played trumpet for quite a while and haven't been lately, and have a Yamaha student trumpet. But my dream horn is the Yamaha "Shew" horn, it's got a model number but everyone knows it as the "Shew" horn.
Terrific interview, I learned a lot. Interesting that great trumpet players can have bad days also🎺👍
Very interesting concept for making unique horn and thinking outside of the box approached building it. I'd agree that different styles of music shouldn't require special equipment for each and it all should came out from you as a musician. Interms of Claude Gordon because of him I finally get going and play and knowing how to play and what to play is main objective of CG teaching.
Wonderful interview, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for listening
Great interview. I've wanted to get to know Eric a little bit. Now I'm an even bigger fan.
Us too!
I always enjoyed seeing/hearing him play with the Japanese Fusion band T-Square.
Great interview, thank you for sharing this!
What a wonderful trumpet player👏👏👏
I love that video
Cool Interview
Great Interview! Eric seems like such a great guy. So down to earth. Side note: although his trumpet is custom made for him you can see that its not some super fancy thing. Its the player not the trumpet.
Great artist, he has a lot of style
That was a great interview! He seems like a wonderful guy!
A good interview
Nice man 👋🏻☺️
NICE ...VERY NICE !
Nice 👍
So once again we hear about the Eric Miyashiro signature model trumpet without hearing about what that z-shaped tuning slide brace is supposed to accomplish as compared to a conventional slide brace.
He seems like such a lovely guy. Thanks for this
Our pleasure!
"I did it not realizing it was 4:00 in the morning LA time", "okay I'll wake up Bobby, hold on", "what!" That absolutely has to be some of the funniest stuff I've heard in a while 🤣🤣🤣
Self taught! Way to go! Now show others how to do what you did. That way we can all just do what you do.
The only time I warm up with just the mouthpeice is on my way to 7am gigs when ever Im at a red light 😂
THE BIG MIYASHIRO !
Awesome interview! By the way, how much would you sell that black strat for??? :-)
More! When is part 2 PLEASE?! Lovely gentle guy with some great ideas.
and to think that in the middle of the pandemic, Nintendo brought Eric in to play the theme song to the new Animal Crossing game
Good interview, but I had hoped to hear him show how he put his lips on the mouthpiece. And I had hoped to hear him play something...different styles, a few bars of this & that. Maybe, next time.
Ah, extra points for spell check!
HOW CAN I TEACH MYSELF?
Warm up 11:15.
That DB meter is really distracting! haha
Maynard “ 😁
If Eric received help from people like Bobby shew, wouldn’t that not make him 100% self taught??
The. Japan is good. Trumpet
Um.. he's mentioned many times his father played trumpet so......
I don’t understand the “it won’t make you play higher” statement because I can play a 4th higher on the piccolo than the regular trumpet
I had the impression that he liked to talk a little bit more. The interview wa almost interreptuded at the end to soon.
How did you train that cat to sit still on your head?
To Thomann Music - The video tag line 'I'm 100% self taught ..." as he stood next to the greatest players that lived sounds a little smug but more importantly, it is probably the worst bit of advice for learners wanting to be good trumpeters.
Completely self-taught. With a professional trumpet player as dad. Haha. Bit of a joke.
Continues to tell about all his teachers and mentors after his dad...
FYI -- don't put crazy glue on your lips.
Man I thought my upper lip was messed up. Eric's looks like hamburger. Lots of scar tissue in there. It could have easily went very bad for him. He's very lucky.
Damn, got a big scar on his lip.
