  SPEAKER_03: Um and uh you were great on the stage and just a lot of fun.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_03: It was kind of perfect for that environment.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_03: And I guess why don't we start with learning a little bit of a history of the group and uh whoever wants to jump in and take this?
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_03: I'm curious, how did this whole project start?
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_01: We're all uh public music educators, and we're sitting around at one of those uh those public educator meetings.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's called Hampton Music Educators Association, and we're talking about uh how we could continue playing ourselves.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and uh we all kind of listed the instruments we had, and and I've always wanted to do a New Orleans brass style band, and most of us were brass players.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and so we said, why don't why don't we give it a shot?
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: And so that that's kind of how it started.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um and from there uh we just started rehearsing and kind of keeping the sous-aphone, the the marching tuba as like the center of our sound, uh, and kind of branched off from there to do all different types of music.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we've done primarily New Orleans brass band style, uh, but we do pop covers, you know, keep everyone engaged.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: We write our own music.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we do fiddle tunes.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: Troy is an amazing fiddle player.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, our lead singer, Dylan Green, he you know, he rips on everything.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we throw at him.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: So he we kind of run the gamut.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um, our music writing style is kind of all over the place.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: So that's how it began, and that's kind of where it went.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Chris, I'm curious, where and if we can go around the the horn, so to speak.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, Chris, where did you grow up?
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_03: Where where are you from?
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: I grew up in Massapepa.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I reside in Hampton Bays now, and I teach at East Hampton High School.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_03: Oh wow.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_03: And uh, I guess Troy?
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: I grew up in a little town called Ellsworth, Maine.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, went to Hofstra and found my way to East Hampton High School.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, very nice.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_03: So we got a whole bunch of people out in East Hampton and Thai.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: I grew up in West Hampton Beach, went to West Hampton Beach High School, and then um as a little bit of serendipity, I ended up on the same train as Chris, and and he uh hired me at East Hampton at the middle school.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: So I got uh got really lucky with that.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_03: That's that's great.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_03: Uh you are the the real East End Brass bands, better known as Reeb, uh New Orleans style, of course.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_03: Uh how do you guys uh get together to kind of plan shows?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_03: There's a there's a lot of how many first of all, how many members are there total?
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_03: There's there's quite a bunch.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_02: There's eight in total, but we like to refer to ourselves as a collective because anytime uh one of our members can't make it, we seem to have this habit of hiring another music educator uh to come sub in with us.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: So eight is like the core, but really it's anybody who wants to join in.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, what has been the reaction of your your students?
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_03: I'd imagine that they enjoy watching this too.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, uh there's been a lot of opportunities for us to make connections with parents and students alike.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_02: I know uh myself as a middle school teacher, uh, usually it's you know the parents chaperoning the kids to that, but a lot of the time they are just so enamored with how much fun we're having and how free we are.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: And uh everything that we teach usually has sheet music to it.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: So I've had a lot of students comment like, how do you memorize all those notes?
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: And uh it's just part of the gig, man.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think for me it's been like I'm a high school band teacher and it's been a lot of fun, uh, an opportunity for a lot of alumni to come back and say hi, especially in the summer months.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: And uh you know, a lot of my current students come in and check it out.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, Oh, I just heard you on Spotify.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: But it's real special when an alumni comes by and's like, How are you doing?
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's a real awesome reunion.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I have that situation as well.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm retired at this point, um, but I've I've taught a lot of uh a lot of string players as a classical orchestra teacher, wow primarily.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: And so when they come to these shows, uh they get to see a very different side of things and say, Wow, wow, I I I didn't even know, you know, or I didn't know that um that violin could do that.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I I didn't know that that's the way that you also played in addition to the classical world.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: So it kind of opens up a lot of interesting conversations with alumni as well.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_03: One thing I must say, you always seem to be having a blast up there performing and just having a lot of fun on doing this.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_03: And i I think the music kind of lends itself uh to that.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_03: And now that you're retired, uh, I'd imagine you have a little more time uh for for some of this.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_03: Uh how is it uh putting because everyone's got busy schedules.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, I'd imagine the summer is the busiest time for everyone.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's our busiest gigging time.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, in the fall too.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh fall festivals, we we fit in nicely there.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and then we kind of scatter ourselves throughout the school year, try to preserve ourselves.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: We also try to write and record a little bit in the winter as music educators.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: I think we really enjoy trying to be creative with one another, and uh I think that's refreshing when you get to kind of put your stamp on some of the music or revise some standards.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: The busiest time is definitely summer and fall, and then we kind of regroup or kind of dig into our creative element there.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I believe one of your members uh was one of your students, uh Troy.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_03: Is that true?
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that is true, actually.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's great.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um Dylan, uh I got to work with Dylan, I got to conduct him in a um in one of the high school musicals.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Um I got to work a little bit with Nick, um, our guitarist.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: So and and my colleagues, actually.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Ty was one of my colleagues, and uh as was Chris, and as was Dylan.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: So uh it's really um it's really great seeing all of this come full circle and uh and being part of it with people that you've worked with in a very different way now as you know, now as as part of the same team.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh it's a great dynamic.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_03: You guys have a a record out, I believe, and you're doing a lot of different things.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_03: How does when you're working on original music, how where does it start and kind of how do you work that process through?
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: So I think uh I I could jump into it.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's kind of um kind of like this conversation.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: Someone brings an idea, and um whether it's sheet music or just some something we play, and then the the band kind of like takes it and expands it.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, it's it's very collective, and everyone's contributed to every song in some way, you know.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like for me, I'll I'll write a horn line down, I'll print it out, and I'll bring it to the band.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'll be like, what kind of chords do you think, or even if I have a sketch of you know the rhythm section stuff, it's better to have the people in the rhythm section kind of refine.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: And then we can we do let the song kind of sit for a while because the backing vocals then trickle in, the harmonies trickle in.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: So it's it is very collective and collaborative.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think there's a single song that has been just like here, play this.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's and I think I think that's why we enjoy playing together, and you see us on stage, and we're like, we're having a lot of fun.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Everything we do is collaborative, everything is communicative, and like we're we're talking to each other, whether it's verbally or musically, um, or or compositionally.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: So that's that's the joy of this group.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: A few years ago, I I ended up, I had the opportunity to visit New Orleans, and when I was there, I heard a lot of musicians talk about this idea of like a gumbo, where they they have a musical gumbo, so brass bands that have a similar setup to us.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_02: Like it will be start with one horn line, and then people will just add what they feel is the right groove or something they want to explore.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: So, like to Chris's point, we've we've been trying to do that and ended up in this sort of tradition of the New Orleans style and uh making music as a big old family and and making making music into a gumbo or a jambalaya, you know?
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: Uh it's great.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: No, and it it sounds great too, and it's just a like I said, it's a lot of fun to watch come together on stage because there's everyone's moving around and everyone's got a part uh they're playing in the success and and and the song.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_03: So that's really cool to see.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: What did you guys uh if we go around, what did you guys grow up listening to?
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_03: What kind of inspired you to head in this direction?
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: So I grew up um with classical violin as um as a core, and then somewhere in the middle of middle school, I decided to pick up drums and kind of leaned into jazz and then classic rock.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: And from the violin point of view, I kind of branched into fiddle music, and from fiddle music you can go almost anywhere, and that brings it to things like uh Zydeco music and uh and uh even some of the string players in jazz.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Uh a great uh great jazz violin player named Stefan Grapelli really kind of opened my eyes and said, Wow, you can really do that, and that really swings.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: So um it's a long journey.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: There's an awful lot of influence from a lot of places.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a huge fan of the guitar player Jeff Beck.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um he influenced me musically probably as much as all of my classical training did.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: And uh for drummers, there are a hundred and one that I can name.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: I won't go into that, but it it's um like that gumbo we've been talking about, or that jambalaya, it's um there's a lot that goes into it, and then what comes out is a kind of a mixture of all of those things.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_03: What inspired you to pick up the violin?
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, somebody asked me that question last week, and I can't I I I it's hard to remember exactly the moment, but my brother played the violin briefly.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, that makes sense.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: But I liked it and I stayed with it.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: And um, you know, the more people I saw playing, they said, Well, I I love this thing.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is great.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: You know.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: So that's really what it was.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's just my brother playing.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Now he only played for probably a year, but I said, I like this, I can do this, and I'm gonna keep doing it.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_03: That's great.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that that's really that's really interesting to see how how everyone kind of comes to their different instruments.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_03: And I love the fact that you then went to the drums, which may or may not be the the opposite of of the violin.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: And it always was.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: It was it was two totally separate worlds where I'd go and play in the All-State Orchestra, maybe, um, and when I was in high school.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then the next day I'd be out playing with adult bands and doing clubs and and that sort of thing.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: You know, hard rock, metal, whatever.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Aaron Ross Powell, Jr.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I would imagine too, uh learning the violin and reading music at that age, that taught you you were kind of a step ahead of your other peers when you were you're dealing with other different types of music.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: Well that I mean that's true.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the folks in the um most of the folks in the rock world I had been working with were brilliant musicians in many cases, but they didn't read.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: And it kept them from learning certain things more easily.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: They had some advantages because they used, you know, they learned by by ear so effectively.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um but it also it it did slow them down a little bit in other ways.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: So that's interesting.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the the reading was helpful and it kind of expanded my vocabulary um in a huge way.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: I would I would imagine when are we gonna tie?
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_03: What was your kind of influences growing up?
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: How did you start in the musical direction?
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_02: I like hearing uh Troy's side of things where you have an older brother that played violin, he wanted to play violin because for me it was it was kind of the opposite.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: I had an older brother who was this self-taught guitarist, and all he was listening to was Nirvana and Soundgarden, and I was like, man, I don't want to be anything like that.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_02: I we had a saxophone by chance in the house, and I started playing even before they um gave us instruments in elementary school, and so I just thought it was the coolest thing if I could start learning what he was playing on guitar on the saxophone.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_02: So I ended up learning um like some of the solos from Pink Floyd.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: I think the one of the first solos I learned was the Saxophone solo from Money by Pink Floyd.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and I just kept going in that direction of like uh classic rock, psychedelic rock, and even grunge.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um and it wasn't until I got to college that I really started exploring uh full-fledged jazz, bebop, and then of course what we do now, uh brass band, you know, uh bands like Rebirth Brass Band or Youngblood Brass Band or uh even Earth, Wind and Fire, you know.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um that those were a lot of my huge influences.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: But in addition to all that, like it all started from classic rock and grunge.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Like Chris Cornell is my all-time hero.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, if we ever get a chance to play an arrangement of Black Hole Sun in our band, I'm gonna make it happen.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_03: But yeah, it's great.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: That's terrific time.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: Chris, uh, where where do you where do you come from as far as your musical background?
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think I was a pretty traditional band student growing up.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I just you know picked out a trumpet and practiced and kind of had a a liking for it.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I really kind of dove into it.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: In high school, I loved jazz band.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: Uh college, a lot of classical and jazz.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: And then after college, I think I I really got into the ska scene.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: I really loved because as a horn player wanting to play kind of like pop music.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um I played in a couple wedding bands or party bands, and and then it was fun, but I I really liked the ska.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: It was a little bit more uh original and unique.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and I played a lot of ska for like like 10 years.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and that was kind of the backbone for me wanting to start another project like Reed.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so I think a lot of Ska was my um inspiration.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but then I I remember going to like a Trombone Shorty show and being like, that is just like that, he just looked like he was having so much fun on stage playing tron.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like it was awful.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: So that I think it was a pretty traditional journey, and you know, you see a lot of at least in the 90s and early 2000s, a lot of kids are playing in ska bands because you could take that band instrument and kind of take it on the pop stage or whatever, and and I followed that kind of pathway.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_03: That's uh it's interesting to see.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_03: Uh as you're you're all music educators, I'm curious, just from the perspective of and you guys have been doing this a while in Troy, uh, you're now retired.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_03: How has it changed?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: How have the students changed?
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_03: Because people have access to different, I don't say different instruments, but there's a lot of people producing music at home now and doing different things.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_03: How have you watched students change over the years with technology and just in general just life changing?
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, that's a really great question.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I I think I was put in a unique position because I pretty much started teaching right as COVID hit.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: I think I was teaching for maybe three or four months before we had the full shutdown.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so I, you know, I studied how to be a band teacher and learned all these wind instruments, and then all of a sudden we we can't be blowing spit around.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I I had to do a ton of research on uh DAWs or digital audio workshops, started using uh a lot of the free workshops at the time, and I was teaching the students how to record themselves, what uh and what um effects like reverb or putting something in an envelope or compression.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: I started teaching them that.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and now uh we have the opportunity that these Chromebooks that we give to the students have uh recording mechanisms on it, and I think even some of them you can have a digital audio workshop called Audacity.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um so they are able to record themselves.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: I I know Chris and I have a mutual student over these these years who has actually um produced his own album and it's up on uh SoundCloud.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: So it it has changed from like this traditional band or orchestra model, you know, sit in the chair and read the music and follow the conductor, to uh a lot of self-expression and using technology.
• 15:40
  unknown: That's interesting.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: I I started teaching in 1988.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I so you know, back in the Stone Age.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: And um, you know, technology wasn't even anything anyone thought of that was just kind of off the table, particularly for music kids.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: And for orchestra kids, even more so, right?
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Very traditional, very old school.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: And um over time, you know, technology kind of creeps up on you and and it it starts finding its way in.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: So I would have um a couple of orchestra students who were doing exactly what Tany's talking about.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um they'd be recording themselves, they'd be experimenting and and you know, making um they'd be making electronic music.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um and there was a lot of that that went on.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: And and one of the other things is um it it's a little less uh technologically advanced, but the fact that so many people are putting so much music out on so many platforms means that a lot of these kids that ordinarily would just, you know, whatever we gave them, whatever they heard in their home normally or on a on a radio station, that's what they would get for the most part as as influences.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: But now you can look up anything, you can find whatever niche music really appeals to you, you can find any from any culture, any community, any style of music, and it's all out there.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: And so kids are able to consume an awful lot more of that.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I think it just widens their horizons musically.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know, kids would ask me if they could play something from um you know, some theme music from a video game.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: Oh wow.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: They would ask me if if we could do, you know, um, if we could do something traditionally Chinese.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um I thought, and the answer to that was yes, you can.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: And um so it it opened up a lot of uh a lot of eyes and ears.
• 17:26
