It's all archived, somewhere. But yes, I do believe that the site itself is more or less dead. I'll be looking at potentially purchasing the domain, eventually. Now, if anybody actually knew who the owner was...

RE: Jazz Trumpet Family Tree - Find Your Branchposted in Jazz / Commercial
My teacher in high school was a student of Roger Voisin. Once I listened to Herseth & Voisin himself, I could hear the connection (through Georges Mager). I really like the playing of all three musicians. Very raw, not always perfect (except in the case of Herseth) but incredibly musically aware. One time, I had the opportunity to play for Tom Hooten. He was kind to me, but pointed out that my vibrato would never do in a modern-day orchestral setting. I could tell that the influence of Voisin's sound had worn off on me a bit. Interesting how that happens. I have also known players who listen to so much Chet Baker that they can't make a bright sound to save their life. I am sure there is some theory as to why this all occurs.

RE: Kanstul -- Any News?posted in Instruments Discussion
I have heard nothing that has not already been told. Same thing concerning prominent trumpet chairs available (Chicago 1st and NYP 2nd, to name a couple).

I'm curious what that contraption is on the tuning slide of her instrument.

I suspect this took a long time to develop. I once created something similar for my trumpet professor.

BrassReview.com is Missedposted in Lounge
I miss having this website available...so, I'm thinking of doing it again and starting my own! However, this time, I want to eventually expand it beyond brass instruments. Sound like a good idea? Any suggestions?

I absolutely love SilverTone cornets and trumpets. The art deco on a Sterling Silver bell...so timelessly beautiful.

Welcome Matt! I've enjoyed your point of view often on TH!
Mike
Thank you, Mike! I've literally grown up on TH -- I was just in high school when I started posting, through college, and now getting close to wrapping up my 13th year as a middle & high school band director. I hope I can make a positive contribution here as well!
Who were you on TH?
