Episode 57: Scott Hartman, Proteus 7
**NOTICE: I am not at all pleased with my audio engineering on this episode, ladies and gentlemen. I will very soon invest in some lavaliere microphones for our esteemed guests. (There IS that little “Donate” Button to your right—>ya know:-) Perhaps you are an audio wizard? If so, we all would like to hear a better soundtrack on this one. Scott deserves better. Please contact me if you think you can help (tom@trombonelessons.com). Much appreciated! In the meantime, I have had the best luck with a good set of headphones on this. My apologies. I will endeavor to do better henceforth! Peace ***
Hollie Lawing, Tim Redman, and myself took a road trip to South Carolina this week to visit with Scott Hartman! Scott has long been one of our favorite trombonists. His career has primarily involved chamber music: Empire Brass, Four of a Kind, and now Proteus 7. He is presently the Trombone Professor at Yale University.
He was in Spartanburg, SC, for a performance with Proteus 7. See them on the Web at: www.proteus7.com
This amazing septet was premiering a Halloween Show with the Spartanburg Philharmonic, directed by Scott’s lovely wife, Sarah Ioannides. This fine ensemble is also on the Web: www.spartanburgphilharmonic.org
Almost the entire show was written by the group’s lead trumpeter and fabulously gifted composer, Anthony DiLorenzo.
Between rehearsal and the concert, Scott was kind enough to sit down and visit with us. We hope you enjoy meeting the wonderful Scott Hartman and Proteus 7……..
