The Music Mind Podcast featuring Jim Manley - Episode 2

The Music Mind Podcast

Hosted by Brian Hayes, The Music Mind Podcast series aims to explore the creative lives of some of the very best musicians from all over the world.
This second episode of the Podcast features an in depth conversation with the widely acclaimed American trumpeter Jim Manley. Based in St Louis in the USA, Jim is well recognised within the brass world as a master player and teacher who specialises in the search for efficiency when playing the trumpet.
A high note trumpeter extraordinaire Jim has released 19 contemporary instrumental albums under his own name and is currently working on his twentieth album. His recorded music ranges from classic big band sounds to small group jazz through to contemporary pop and fusion sounds. Jazz and pop standards, along with original compositions are all played with equal care, taste, tone, technique and energy.
Jim has a profoundly positive attitude to life and to music. There is much for all of us to learn from this podcast conversation which includes discussion on Jim's close personal friendship with the legendary Maynard Ferguson, to entertaining stories of his early years in music, his performance and recording careers and his constant search for improvement as a musician.
The Podcast ends with Jim playing some great trumpet on an original composition called Slideaway which also features Brian Hayes on Pedal Steel Guitar and Mike Hayes on electric guitar.
