While visiting family in Columbia, SC recently, I was able to connect with James Ackley, trumpet professor at the U. of South Carolina, and a highly sought-after player in the local region. It's always a treat to do an interview in-person, rare as they are, and this one didn't disappoint. I know you'll enjoy hearing what James has to share related to trumpet, life, and how the two often intersect! Here's what you'll hear in this episode: -James Ackley's plans for retiring from trumpet?...01:23 -There are scary players out there you'll never hear of...06:23 (that's part of why this podcast exists, fyi) -Founding origins on the trumpet...09:35 -Shortcomings in commonly accepted education methods...16:23 -Why a major conservatory took a chance on a green James Ackley with just over 2 years of playing experience...23:30 -Why returning to the United States wasn't necessarily essential to raise happy children...31:07 -Non-musician wife bears the burden of life with a pro trumpeter...38:42 -The music scene in Columbia, SC...41:25 -Rapid fire questions pertaining to peak musical performance...45:08 -The virtue of putting out an album that won't go platinum with sales...56:00 -Plus whatever your discerning ears deem worthy of your time and interest...
