Brass Chats Interview with Michael Sachs

Michael Sachs is….not like us.

His trumpet sound is comprised of equal parts pure molten gold, Old-Testament-fire-and-fury, new puppy fur, goose-pimple-shivers, maple syrup, Mahler’s image of heaven, heartbreak, and electrocution; our sounds are comprised of equal parts desperation and diarrhea. He’s spent more hours deciphering voodoo elements and tweaks of trumpet construction (MANY details in the interview, that you can try!!!!) than we’ve spent actually playing the trumpet…..he knows how to approach James Stamp exercises, and we, as it turns out…….don’t.

Want to learn how to play Stamp? You’ve come to the right place!

Want to learn some trumpet tweaks that you can do, today, to make your horn play better? You’re about to listen to the right guy! (…it’s a wormhole, but it’s worth it!)

Want to hear what a big-5 principal learned from watching Nolan Ryan (one of the greatest pitchers of all time) warm up? Hit that play button.

Hanging with Michael Sachs was an absolute treat, and he was generous with his time and info—we’ll hit him up again someday, because the hour wasn’t nearly enough!

Happy Thanksgiving! We love you all and we’re thankful to all our Brass Chats guests, thankful that we get to do this, and thankful that you like watching.

Love,

Monsters
