Allan and Ray were there at the beginning of playing Renaissance and Baroque music on authentic instruments in the United States. Our conversation goes into the movement's history and then follows up with some thoughts about authentic and modern performance practices.

Ray Mase and Allan Dean, Part 2

In the Bonus Room, Allan and Ray talk about their many years of teaching, primarily at Yale (Allan) and Juilliard (Ray) and the different approaches of those two great schools. They also offer their thoughts on today’s students versus students from when they first began teaching and what's changed and what hasn't.

Ray Mase and Allan Dean, Bonus Room

Ray Mase and Allan Dean are legends in the world of trumpet and brass. They are both foundational figures of the brass quintet genre, were part of the start of the early music scene in the United States performing on period instruments, and were both members of the astounding Summit Brass. Their teaching careers led them to the highly respected music schools at Yale (Allan) and Julliard (Ray).In Part 1 of my conversation with Allan and Ray, we discuss the beginning of the brass quintet movement in the United States, and the role that the American and New York Brass Quintets played in this movement. We end by sharing some funny stories of our time together with the Summit Brass.

Ray Mase and Allan Dean, Part 1

Ray Mase has taught trumpet to every professional trumpet player alive and employed today. It's a fact, look it up. You'll find it on the Internet. ...actually you just found it on the Internet. There, just then. You're on the Internet. You know what else is on the Internet? A whole bunch of sweet, sweet trumpet knowledge from a guy that, according to Juilliard, is qualified enough to teach all the talented (okay, fine, AND hardworking) little freaks passing through its hallowed halls since 1987. A TON of that trumpet knowledge is right here---in Brass Chats Episode VII: The Force Awakens. ...wait, I meant "Ray Mase." We love you Ray! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
