Classically trained in Venezuela, Raul moved to New York to suddenly find himself as the first-call player for the cream de la creme of Latin music.

Plus he’s a super down-to-earth guy.   Check out what Raul has to say about his early years in Venezuela, training to become a well-rounded player, his relationship with Victor Paz, getting back into the Broadway pits, the mindset of a Broadway trumpet player, removing stress and obstacles, the importance of being early, being willing to change, working with Lin-Manuel Miranda, and so much more!    So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!  ------------------------------------------------------------  The homepage of Raul Agraz: https://raulagraz.com/ Show your chops some love with Robinson's Remedies products: bit.ly/ChopLove  Let Jose help you master your mindful mindset: bit.ly/MindfulnessSecrets  Sound like a million dollars without breaking the bank with Barkley Microphones: http://barkleymic.com/--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thetrumpetgurus/support

Episode 72:Hanging With Raul Agraz

Hip-Bone Music proudly brings an international flavor to our bone2pick series with a dynamic sit down featuring two of New York’s finest trumpet players, Raul Agraz and Maneco Ruiz. A native of Venezuela, Raul shares his thoughts on crafting a successful playing career in his native country and then repeating that in New York, his exceptional ability to fit into any and all musical environments, holding down the first trumpet chair on a long running hit Broadway show and developing his voice as a solo artist. The pride of Ponce, Puerto Rico, Maneco looks back on growing up in a family of trumpet players, the influence his late teacher Prof Fielder had on him, the keys to approaching latin music and how he became one of New York’s most versatile and in demand trumpet players. Great insights from two class acts. Enjoy!
