B2P 009 - Bergeron and Martin presented by Hip-BoneMusic

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Wayne Bergeron and Andy Martin for many years. I first became aware of Andy Martin when we were in high school back in the ‘70s in California. He was a legend even then. As it was back then, it is always an inspiration to hear Andy play. I’m honored that he performed on my Brass Nation and Absolute Trombone II CDs. I first met Wayne Bergeron when he was a member of Maynard Ferguson’s great big band. As you might suspect, he was a standout even amongst a section of stellar trumpet players. I had the pleasure of working with him several years ago as a guest artist/clinician at Mandan High School in North Dakota. Hearing him talk about his approach to brass playing and music in general, I felt like I was the one receiving the clinic. I learned a ton from being around him for those few days. I hope you enjoy this interview with two of the most talented brass players I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
