Sarah and Gene are so charmingly sweet that I fill totaly rejuvenated. This interview is something to behold. Thank you so much to both these wonderful people. Love!
Gene Pokorny is tremendous human being and an artist of the highest order. I'm honored to be able to call him a friend and spend with him and his lively wife some time together. I cherish those memories dearly. The time I spent with Gene and his wife were unforgettable moments of very warm friendship that I'm deeply grateful for. I love you Gene and Beth. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gosh, that was a great interview. So humble for such a great musician. Thanks again Sarah for these interviews. They're gold! Great insight for us brass people.
Why of course, the man lives up to his family name, Pokorny in Czech/Slovak means "the humble one". 🙂
I love this interview. As Hunter said below a few months ago, Gene is "so humble for being such a great musician." I couldn't agree more. I am a horn player, Three Stooges fan and Rail fan as well so I felt really connected to Gene. Thank you Sarah for your interviews, they are indeed so enlightening, fun and educational.
the way Sarah looks when she says
"Bud Herseth?"
.. reduces me to tears Every Time I see this
Gene Pokorny is a great guy, real down to earth. I got to talk to him for a few after a Mahler 5 concert in January. Great video
ahh just got to the part where he talks about his Mahler 5 experience too, pretty cool.
I started watching this years ago and only now finished the final 45 mins…. In context with the History of the CSO Brass documentary released 8 or so months ago, in combination with my own aging after having heard him play almost 30 years ago (with Joe Stegeman) at the Merit School of Music as a young tubist growing up in Chicago, Gene’s emotions towards the end come full circle.
Thank you, Gene, for being you.
What a great interview! Gene was really inspirational and yet humble.
What a special interview. Thank you.
Thank you Sarah and Gene! So insightful and inspiring!
thanks Sarah
I think the low brass concerto Gene was referring to was the concerto for three trombones and tuba by Arcady Dubensky I. It was written by a member of the N.Y Philharmonic for the new trombone and tuba section comprised of Gordon Pulis , Lewis van Haney, Allen Ostrander and Bill Bell, I think it was first performed around 1948
HI GENE BRAVO FOR THE CHICAGO BRASS VIDEO
Great interview Sarah!!! Max Bonecutter Edward Kleinhammer :Bass Trombonists They won't even sell you the horn unless you have a name like this!!! LOL
Eduardo''s! I miss Eduardo's Pizza! Great interview!
Yep> He was right. "She's kinda hot!"
"I didn't have any say in picking me, you know. I'm...I'm a victim."
A victim of soicumstance, even?
Two great musicians, two great people. And they are real people, not the pompous dingbats that are common in big orchestras.
What an absolutely delightful person is Gene Pokorny! Great hangout! I loved his stories and also his mention of Tommy Johnson, who was a friend and occasional mentor of mine. I can tell Gene is cut from the same cloth. He loves what he does so much that he does it with unending passion and he's the greatest as a result. Thanks to Sarah for arranging such a great session!
Gene is a great man and an exceptional tuba player.
Two great people! Thanks, Sarah, and YAY Gene!!!!
So inspiring, great interview! Keep it up!
Highly entertaining and informative.Love the work you and your team do,thk you for the privilege.
This is most definitely wholesome!
love hearing Gene talk about high school marching band in So Cal!
Thanks Sarah for this wonderful and touching (at the end!) hangout. One thing to note about Ray Premru - which Gene mentioned in the interview about his Low Brass Concerto: Actually he was an American (born in NY state) and spend 30+ years in the UK (Philharmonia 1958-1988), cheers! (former student of Ray here :))
Helllooo!! I love your videos
What a beautiful guy.
Ahh, yes he mentioned Max Bonecutter, long-ago bass trombone player in the Minnesota Orchestra. He left in 1982 and was replaced by David Herring who left in 2012. Thanks Sarah for your enthusiasm and treating all brass players as equals! Too many horns consider low brass players beneath them.
I love these but I want a clarinet player so bad😂. Lovely interview Sarah.
What was the recording of john fletcher, gene alluded to
Do you know what college I should go to for music? (I’m in New York)
Air_Born_Ninja depends what you like man. I'm a graduate from MSM, Manhattan School of Music. Bass trombone, studied with Steve Norrell, classical. You need to know what you want: for trombone, you want classical, all Juilliard, Mannes, or MSM are good. You want new music? Find David Taylor at MSM or Mannes. You want Jazz, Dave Taylor again.
No matter your instrument or voice or keyboard, find what teachers you like. Get lessons. Figure who's gonna not be nice to you, but someone who's gonna make you a seriously good musician to work in the real world. That's the general rule. Then you need to put in the work. "Cut the fat" from your playing. Good luck.
Depends which teacher is best for you.
where did you end up going?
Ray Premru's actually American, but nevermind!
