Chuck Findley is one of my heroes. The Wall Street Journal front page, feature article on Chuck from the early ’80s hung on my college dorm room wall for a year. He has set the standard for what it means to be a studio musician for five decades. I first met Chuck and heard him live at a Manhattan Transfer recording session in Los Angeles in 1983, a session that also featured Jerry Hey, Gary Grant, Bill Reichenbach and Charlie Loper. It changed my life as a brass player. Years later, I was fortunate to get Chuck to play on my Brass Nation and Trumpets Eleven CDs. His playing took those projects to another level, as it always does. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!
