Brass Mastery: Exploring the Jazz Trumpet with a Modern Icon. (Ft. Brian Newman)
From the age of 12, Brian Newman knew he wanted to be a jazz musician in New York City, and he didn’t let anything get in his way! After many years of soulless work in bars and restaurants, Brian worked his way up the music ladder to play alongside some of the most legendary artists of our time. In this episode, Brian talks about where his passion for jazz originated, how he formed a connection with Lady Gaga (and the incredible work opportunities this friendship has afforded him), his role as creative director of The Jazz Club at Aman, and more. The defining theme of Brian’s story is that hard work pays off and we hope that it will leave you feeling inspired to follow your dreams!
