We are currently working on developing lessons in teaching how to play a variety of musical genres and we will be starting with 'Funk'.
As well as the regular team we are also working with a couple of colleagues who are highly active and successful as session musicians so we thought it would be interesting to conduct a couple of interviews to help illuminate this arcane area of musical employment and opportunity.
But before we leap into the first video which features top trumpet and flugelhorn player Gary Alesbrook, a small amount of technical detail:
The following interview was filmed against a blue screen and then we used chroma key to extract the background to create a plain black backdrop... lighting is essential to the process and we used three 800 watt halogen lights with white (umbrella) diffusers. The final process was to colour correct all of the footage which took three hours to render!! But I think it was worth it... hope you enjoy the video.

I should also add that the microphone is a very nice Peluso U47 type mic which we used to record Trumpet, flugel and sax but I will talk about that in detail another time.
