Let’s Talk Trumpet is a podcast where trumpeters, most of the time with way too much time on their hands, get together and talk about…trumpet. Hosted by trumpeter and perennial podcast creator James Newcomb, this show features conversations with players from across the trumpet world.And the physical world. It features performers, teachers, freelancers, students, and the occasional awkward character who probably doesn't deserve to be on the show but we love them anyway.This is not a masterclass on how to improve your range and endurance, nor is it a lecture on the latest pedagogical techniques.Those all have their place. This podcast is not that place. Think of this show as the chat with a colleague after a rehearsal, getting ready backstage before a concert, or over coffee at a conference. Stories from the road, gear, gigs, influences, memorable performances, and the many different ways the trumpet finds its way into people’s lives.And in the process changes our own.If you enjoy the culture and personalities that surround the instrument, pull up a chair. There’s always more to talk about when the subject is trumpet.
