#Scott schwartz caught tv
This was a memorable and very satisfying trip.Welcome to Part 2 of TV Fanatic's exclusive feature interview with former child actor Scott Schwartz regarding first-hand knowledge of Corey Feldman's "friendship" with Corey Haim, the alleged "Hollywood industry pedophilia ring," Charlie Sheen, and much more. I want to send a big THANK YOU to Scott Schwartz for making all of this happen, to Jim Pugh for his setting up the trombone masterclass and for playing Conversation with me, and to Barry Houser and all of the members of the Marching Illini Band for a great few days where we all came together in Illini blue and orange and celebrated the trombone. School spirit was alive and well it was a great day of interaction for all of us and, hey, Illinois won the game. This is one fine band, and I was caught up in many of their great traditions. My hat is off to the Marching Illini for inviting local high school trombone players to join with the 40 trombonists of the Illini Band to get us up to 76 trombone players. Now, when you put 76 trombones on a football field accompanied by a marching band, that is one impressive sight and sound. Click the video image below to see the whole halftime show it begins with 76 Trombones, and continues with a tribute to the Chicago Cubs and much more. As an event with another connection to my trombone lecture and masterclass, I led a group of 75 trombone players – both members of the Marching Illini Band and students from local high schools – in a performance of Meredith Wilson’s 76 Trombones to start the halftime show of the Illinois/Michigan State football game. The third piece of my University of Illinois trip was a performance with the Marching Illini Band under the direction of Barry Houser. Despite our long friendship, we had never played together, so we started the masterclass with a performance of Charles Small’s duet Conversation. Several years ago I reviewed his superb CD, X Over Trombone, and I consider him to be one of the most creative players – and composers – on the scene today.
I have known Jim for decades and have the utmost respect for him as a player and a person. I worked with three talented students and also enjoyed getting together with my friend, Jim Pugh, who teaches jazz trombone and composition at University of Illinois. The time at the Sousa Archives was very rewarding and was made more so because of the engaged audience and their great questions.įrom the Sousa Archives I went to the University of Illinois School of Music where I gave a trombone masterclass. I always enjoy getting my hands on, talking about and playing old instruments, such as the alto valve trombone pictured above. Oh, and not to be lost in the moment is that the Chicago Cubs had just won baseball’s World Series and it seemed appropriate to make my Cubs hat part of the display. In addition, we had selected six other instruments for me to play and demonstrate. The Sousa Archives had set up a very nice exhibit of six late-nineteenth and early-twentieth trombones as well as mouthpieces, catalogs, advertisements and other ephemera. Scott asked if I would be interested in coming to Illinois to give a lecture/demonstration about early American trombone makers, their innovations and marketing strategies. Scott and I had met many years ago at the Great American Brass Band Festival in Danville, Kentucky, where I had presented a paper about the use of serpent and ophicleide in brass bands and I performed a solo on ophicleide accompanied by the Athena Brass Band. The invitation to travel to Champaign-Urbana came from Scott Schwartz, Archivist for Music and Fine Arts and Director of the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music on the University of Illinois campus. The opportunity to engage with students – whether in a lecture, performance, masterclass or, as was the case at University of Illinois, something completely different – is exceptionally rewarding and I always enjoy becoming part of the local musical culture when I am visiting.
Over the years I have been a guest artist at dozens of schools, colleges and universities around the world. Last week I had the great pleasure of traveling to University of Illinois to take part in several immensely rewarding activities.
