  • Brian Casserly, Who Also Goes by the Name "Big B" Plays Trumpet, Trombone and Is Also a Vocalist with the Band
    Cornet Chop Suey – Biographies The Cornet Chop Suey Jazz Band has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity since its arrival on the jazz scene in 2001. The band's unique front line with Brian Casserly on trumpet, Tom Tucker on cornet, Jerry Epperson on reeds and Brett Stamps on trombone is driven by a powerful rhythm section consisting of Paul Reid on piano, Al Sherman on bass and John Gillick on drums. Best known for a wide variety of styles, Cornet Chop Suey applies its own exciting style to traditional jazz, swing, blues and "big production" numbers. Every performance by Cornet Chop Suey is a high-energy presentation and is always a memorable experience for the audience. Named after a somewhat obscure Louis Armstrong composition, Cornet Chop Suey now has six CD's available. The "St. Louis Armstrong" CD includes many of the tunes performed in the special Louis Armstrong show. The band is in great demand at jazz festivals, jazz cruises, conventions and concerts around the country. Brian Casserly, who also goes by the name "Big B" plays trumpet, trombone and is also a vocalist with the band. A professional musician since the age of 14, Brian has played for many greats in the music business, including Tony Bennett,Tex Beneke, Stan Kenton, Chuck Berry and even Tiny Tim. He has also played the prestigious Monterey Pops Festival for several years. An in-demand session musician, Brian has performed in many commercials, recordings and musicals in the U.S. and Canada and is the past musical director for the S.S.

(DMA, Music) Trombone Embouchure Type Self-Assessment Thesis directed by Dr. William Stanley The focus of this study is to create a self-assessment tool with which the user may identify their own embouchure type. The assessment criteria and embouchure types are derived from the embouchure pedagogy of Donald Reinhardt as revised and clarified by Doug Elliott and David Wilken. Three possible embouchure types include Very High Placement, Medium High Placement, and Low Placement. This study utilizes audio/video recordings, user-recorded musical examples, pre-recorded musical examples, self-observation analysis questions, external observation questions, and comparative analysis questions for assessment. The resulting study complements my other dissertation study, Selected Published Literature Concerning Trombone Embouchure: An Evaluation and Reference (2020), which provides accessible information about embouchure-related content in trombone pedagogical literature. In conjunction, these two studies allow trombonists and teachers to filter the reviewed texts according to their compatibility with each of the specified embouchure types. 2 TROMBONE EMBOUCHURE TYPE SELF-ASSESSMENT Daniel Twentey TMUS 8249 Pedagogy Practicum Outline of Assessment Contents I.

British-Style Brass Bands in U.S. Colleges and Universities. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2016, 178 pp, 16 tables, 2 figures, references, 55 titles. Since the 1980s, British-style brass bands – community ensembles modeled after the all-brass and percussion bands of Great Britain – have enjoyed a modest regeneration in the United States. The purpose of this research study was: to discover which schools sponsor brass bands currently; to discover which schools formerly sponsored a brass band but have since discontinued it; to describe the operational practices of collegiate brass bands in the U.S.; and to determine what collegiate brass band conductors perceive to be the challenges and benefits of brass band in the curriculum. Data for the study were collected between February, 2015 and February, 2016 using four custom survey instruments distributed to conductors of college and university brass bands. The results showed that 11 American collegiate institutions were sponsoring a brass band during the period of data collection. Results also included the conductors’ reported perceptions that both challenges and benefits are inherent in student brass band participation, and that brass band is a positive experience for students.

  • Ii H. Ragtime – the Dave Willmorth/Maple Leaf Club Archive
    II H. RAGTIME – THE DAVE WILLMORTH/MAPLE LEAF CLUB ARCHIVE It is seldom that a single musical archive could be described as “definitive,” but this collection of musical materials devoted to, and documenting, the rediscovery, re- examination, and renewal of classic American ragtime in the period of roughly the 1960s to the 1990s is a monument to the enthusiasm and sustained interest of a group of researchers, including Dave Willmorth, associated with the Maple Leaf Club of Los Angeles. The archive, consisting of more than 800 cassettes and nearly 300 reel to reel tapes, includes examples of the playing of younger ragtime performers, as well as performances by the older generation of performers and interpreters. There is extensive presentation of the music of the last surviving major ragtime composer, Joseph Lamb, as well as newly composed rags by dozens of writers, from obscure beginners to established classical artists like William Bolcom. To extend the range of the material there are examples of earlier related recordings by jazz artists like Jelly Roll Morton. The archive is an incomparable resource for anyone interested not only in ragtime, but in American popular culture itself. A partial list of artists represented: Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Earl Hines, Jimmy Yancey, Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Itzak Perlman, Andre Previn, Jean Pierre Rampal, William Bolcomb, Brun Campbell, Trebor Tichenor, David Thomas Roberts, John Arpin, Max Morath, Knocky Parker, Bob Darch, Frank French, Joshua Rifkin, John Arpin. Also in the archive are recordings of most of the major ragtime festivals in the 1970s to 1990s, including the major festival at Sedalia, Missouri, and the important Toronto festival.
