I have lots of great memories of Barry at Winnacunnet High School when I played piano in the jazz bands and he always was musically advanced and sharing musical wisdom. We were both way into jazz.
I´m loving this, thanks Jose and Barry! I like Barry´s thoughts on mental attitude, gratitude, humbleness, etc, even (or especially) considering the high profile gigs he´s playing. It brings everything back into perspective about why we do what we do, no matter what level we´re at.....
Jose, I appreciate you getting lots of different perspectives from a variety of trumpet players, but one thing that I've noticed that is kind of annoying is that you do more talking than the interviewees. This podcast is almost an hour and 45 minutes. It could be less than half that if you just asked questions and let them do the talking. I really don't care to hear about your philosophic thoughts and ideas and your experience in martial arts. I don't need to hear what seems to be your attempts to impress the interviewees by saying stuff that either reiterates what they've said, demonstrates that you understand what they're talking about, or shares experiences that YOU'VE had that might mirror their experiences. No offense, but I don't really care about your experiences. You don't have to repeat back to the interviewee everything they just said and add your own two cents to it. I'm a lot more interested in what these players have to say. Sometimes I wonder if the interviewees are wondering who is interviewing whom. I'm not trying to attack you here, I'm just trying to give you feedback in hopes of improving your podcasts and making them more appealing to the audience. Time is precious these days, and we also live in a short-attention-span society. I don't have 2 hours to spend trying to extract a few good nuggets of info or perspectives from some great players. If you like hearing yourself talk that much, how about editing the parts where you're repeating and reflecting out and just include the questions and the answers from the interviewees. I've passed over your podcasts many times just because I didn't have the stomach for listening to you talk on and on and on.
Hi Art. Than you for expressing you thoughts. Just rto clarify my position, I don't look at this podcast as a traditional interview, it's a hang. And at a hang you have conversations, which require the give and take of thoughts, knowledge, and experiences. And it's through those exchanges that relationships are formed with my guest and the audience. I've modeled this podcast around some of my favorite shows that have a very similar format - two people having an organic conversation, not just another Q&A. If you don't care to listen to my thoughts, that's fine. That's why I put tine stamps on each episode that will take you exactly to where my guest is responding to my last question or statement. Best wishes, Jose
@@TheTrumpetGurusHangPodcast A hang format is interesting when it's between two peers, though. Anyway - thanks for taking the time to read what I've had to say without taking offense to it. Peace and slide grease.

Paul, you are spot on. It's too easy to lose track of our "why." Thanks for watching and for your support. It means the world to me!
Jose, I miss your podcasts. Are you planningto return?
Hey big fan of this podcast, do you have any plans to continue? It's been a year and I miss it!
Love listening to these while I give my chops rest time in my practice session
Thanks! I'm sure your chops appreciate it!
Love this. Bro you gotta get Brian Macdonald on!!!
Barry was my #1 junior high school bully back in the day, but he seems nicer now. Internet rabbit hole!
Hopefully we are all different at 61 yrs old than we were at 12yrs old. Apologies if I was a bully. Not sure who you are, but sorry regardless. 😊
