    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.

    Pressure of Trying to Make Each Note and Phrase a Little Jewel

    (Sportiello, Metz and Parrott) had the crowd buzzing during intermission and rising en masse for a standing ovation... KEN FRANCKLING/JAZZTIMES Together, they are the most elegant trio around! DICK HYMAN ...pure straight ahead heaven... doesn’t miss a beat or drop a false note... CHRIS SPECTOR, MIDWEST RECORD ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR SOME SONGS Many recording sessions are tense affairs, because the musicians feel the pressure of trying to make each note and phrase a little jewel. But at a Rossano Sportiello session, his delight in being allowed to make music, his easy assurance that there is no need to rush, makes everyone feel relaxed and joyous. No one could feel tense when his directions to the other musicians are so gentle, “You watch me. Maybe something nice will come out.” During playbacks, the control room was atypically quiet, because everyone (including visitors Harry Allen and Rebecca Kilgore) was busy listening and smiling. This trio is a friendly supportive community. Each voice is equal yet the three players come together from the first notes in a lovely synergy. Hear Ed Metz’s beautiful touch, his light-hearted rhythms that recall Jake Hanna so well: feathery brushwork or explosive accents. (Ed provides wonderfully apt incidental percus- sion, too.) Hear Nicki Parrott’s swinging pulse, the rich sonorities of her bass. Dur- ing this session, I would have sworn I heard a rhythm guitar because her sound is so ripe and full. As a singer, Nicki is one with the song. Her subtle, understated delivery is always convincing, whether she’s being perky or rueful.

(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.
