Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen!
In this Episode, I’m pleased to introduce my friends from the US Air Force Reserve Band’s Brass Quintet. The players are:
Michael Richter, trumpet
Thomas Salyers, trumpet
Michael Pekarek, horn
John Caputo, trombone (and euphonium)
Michael Andrew, tuba
These guys are great! They have a new CD out, too. More info about the CD and the US Air Force Reserve Band can be found at their website:

A career as a military musician can be a really wonderful experience. If you have any questions about it, I would encourage you to contact these gentlemen. They are marvelous performers and seem to have a lot of fun doing their jobs. I’m sure they’d be happy to talk to you about their careers as military musicians. I speak from experience when I say that playing in a military band can be an awesome thing!
BTW- I just received word from Colin that he has been invited to the Final round for the Principal Trombone job with the Boston Symphony! I know we all join in wishing him the best of luck. Although, as I was recently reminded….luck comes to the well-prepared mind:-)
You’re an inspiration to us all, Colin. Bravo.

***NOTICE: the original posting on March 1 had a few typos. This is a re-edited version. You may wish to download again. If you have the original (with typos), I guess you have a rare “collector’s edition”. Could be worth million$ one day:-) ***
Wow, it’s been nearly 3 weeks since our last post……sorry to those of you suffering withdrawals:-)
Things have been quite busy ’round here, so I apologize for the delay. But, I’ve got a good one for you this week:
Through our friend, Dr. Robert Ambrose, the Atlanta Trombone Quartet
(actually a quintet) was asked to record a newly published work by Andrew Rindfleisch. It is a beautiful quartet for trombones entitled “Chorale and Prayer”. In this episode, you get a peek into the recording session. I think you’ll agree that the music is absolutely gorgeous. It’s also nice to see the great interaction between these master trombonists and Robert, who produced the recording. Our thanks to the members of The Church of the Redeemer here in Atlanta. Their lovely sanctuary proved to be the perfect venue for this solemn and uplifting music.
You’ll hear only a portion of the piece. If you’d like to hear the rest of it, we think you should buy it and play it with your friends! Trombone Love to Mr. Rindfleisch, you know?
It’s available through Manzo Music, at:

If you’d like to know more about the composer, Andrew Rindfleisch, please visit his website:

Thanks for all the great emails! We are thrilled and humbled by the responses we’re getting to the Podcasts. Love you guys. Peace.
