The Vast Differences in Listening to v. Playing Trumpet with Bob Reeves [Podcast Archives]
Category: Arts
Duration: 00:35:36

Description:

I had the privilege of interviewing the great Bob Reeves during the ITG conference in Anaheim in 2016. Bob has been around since rocks were still soft and knows everyone and everything about trumpet, particularly in the Los Angeles area.

Bob also had the foresight and extraordinary wisdom to use the podcasting medium as a means of adding value to the trumpet community, and promote the Bob Reeves brand with the hugely popular The Other Side of the Bell podcast. (BTW, if you're thinking of getting into podcasting, then check out what I have to offer at whataboutapodcast.com.)

There's also an interesting tie-in between the Reeves podcast and this one, which I share in the opening moments of this episode.

Enjoy!
