This podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. About Allen Vizzutti Equally at home in a multitude of musical idioms, Allen Vizzutti has visited 70 countries, Japan 49 times, and every state in the union to perform with a rainbow of artists and ensembles including Chick Corea, Doc Severinsen, the NBC Tonight Show Band, the Airmen Of Note, the Army Blues and Army Symphony Orchestra, Chuck Mangione, Woody Herman, Japan’s NHK Orchestra and the New Tokyo Philharmonic, the Budapest Radio Orchestra, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Leipzig Wind Symphony, the Slovenian National Orchestra, and the Kosei Wind Orchestra. Performing as a classical and jazz artist—often in the same evening—he has appeared as a guest soloist with symphony orchestras in Japan, Germany, St. Louis, Seattle, Rochester N.Y., Dallas, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Phoenix, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Minnesota, to name a few. Music lovers in Germany, Poland, England, Sweden, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Australia, and the United States have heard his brilliant sound over the airwaves of national television. Allen's status as an artist has led to solo performances at the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, Newport Jazz Festival, Banff Center for the Performing Arts, Montreux Jazz Festival, the Teton, Vail, Aspen, and Breckenridge Music Festivals, the Charles Ives Center, Suntory Hall & Opera City Hall in Tokyo, and Lincoln Center in New York City. From his home in Seattle, Washington, Allen’s current career activities embody an impressive schedule of recitals, concerts, recording, and composing. His continued commitment to music education and the value of music in everyday life results in an extensive schedule of guest appearances throughout North America, South America, Europe, Japan, Australia, Asia, and New Zealand. Allen's many recordings include “Ritzville” featuring Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke (available at www.vizzutti.com and on iTunes). Other solo jazz recordings include “Trumpet Summit” and “Skyrocket” from Summit Records. Classical recordings currently available (DeHaske Classical Recordings) are “The Emerald Concerto and Other Gems” with the Budapest Radio Orchestra, “Vizzutti Plays Vizzutti,” and “Vizzutti and Soli On Tour.” His “High Class Brass” (on iTunes) is a wonderfully unique classical and jazz blend co-produced, co-written, and performed with fellow trumpet artist, composer, and conductor Jeff Tyzik along with a 90-piece studio orchestra. Other outstanding Vizzutti recordings are “Baroque and Beyond” (CBS/Sony), “The Carnival of Venus” (Summit Records), and “A Trumpeter’s Dream” (Ludwig Music Publishing). As Artist in Residence, Allen has taught at the Eastman School of Music, the University of North Texas, the University of South Carolina, the Banff Center for the Performing Arts, Kansas State University, Ohio State University, West Texas State University, the Skidmore Jazz Institute, and the Trompeten Akademie of Bremen, Germany. His extensive treatise, “The Allen Vizzutti Trumpet Method,” and his “New Concepts for Trumpet” (Alfred Music Publishing) have become standard works for trumpet study worldwide. Many more of Allen’s jazz and classical books, play-along recordings, and student and recital compositions are published by DeHaske/Hal Leonard, BIM Switzerland, and Village Place Music. His writing includes solo pieces for piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trombone, tuba, and harp; chamber groups; wind ensemble; jazz ensemble; and symphony orchestra. Allen’s love of expression through composition has led to premier performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Budapest Radio Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic of London, the Nuremberg Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Syracuse Symphony, London Symphony, the renowned Summit Brass, the Royal Philharmonic Brass, and others. While growing up in Montana, Allen was taught by his father, a self-taught musician and trumpet player, until he left home to attend the Eastman School of Music on full scholarship. There he earned the Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees, a Performer’s Certificate, a chair in the Eastman Brass Quintet faculty ensemble, and the first Artist’s Diploma ever awarded a wind player in Eastman’s history. Allen has performed on over 150 motion picture soundtracks (such as Back to the Future and Star Trek), as well as countless TV shows, commercials, and recordings with such artists as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Chick Corea, the Commodores, and Prince. His soaring sound can be heard on recent movies like “Mirror, Mirror,” “Furry Vengeance,” “40 Days and 40 Nights,” “Unfaithfully Yours,” “Gridiron Gang,” “Scary Movie Four,” “The Hulk,” and the “Medal of Honor,” “Gears of War,” “World of Warcraft,” and “Halo” video games.
