My guest for this episode, Keith Fiala, might be the most fortunate trumpet player I know.
Keith is a talented player who is not afraid of change. From honing his chops on the Austin music scene to touring with the legendary Maynard Ferguson, Keith's career was already a striking success. But thanks to his mentor, boss, and practice partner Arturo Sandoval, Keith has started a fresh approach to the trumpet and life.
Check out what Keith has to say about the changes in the Austin music scene, touring with Maynard Ferguson, why you should never change gear when touring, going from student to personal assistant for Arturo Sandoval, becoming Arturo's practice partner, the importance of having a safe space for practice, being willing to reinvent yourself, learning to get out of your own way, the effects of weight loss on his chops, his personal evolution, paying it forward, and so much more.
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
