the 5 Foot High Trumpet Guy
Professional jazz trumpet player, 30-year music educator, and author of Trumpet 101. Every Monday night I go live from Band Central Station with jazz, chat and trivia. Practice hard and keep blowin’ baby.
All aboard
Band Central Station
A relaxed online community dedicated to smooth jazz and cool chat: live music, conversation and trivia, hosted by “Professor Vee.”
Every Monday night at 8:00 PM Eastern I fire up the stream on Kick. It is part live jazz set, part hang, part trivia. Everyone is welcome to ride this train.
Who is this guy?
30 years, one horn
I’ve been playing the trumpet since I was seven years old. My father was a professional trumpet player and bandleader, so I was surrounded by it for as long as I can remember. Honestly, I can’t imagine my life without the trumpet in it. Now, I just want to share my passion and love for the trumpet with everyone!
