“RS Berkeley horns are truly the finest and most consistent modern instruments I’ve ever played. The high quality o craftsmanship is due to their commitment to create highly expressive professional instruments at reasonable prices, making them affordable for both students and professionals. Several of my faculty at NYU Jazz Studies perform on RS Berkeley horns and are happy to lend their support. I’m currently playing the Virtuoso tenor, sopranino, C and bass flutes and love them all”

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: James Zollar ... A student of legendary Jazz trumpeter Woody Shaw, James Zollar has performed and/or recorded with The Cecil McBee Quintet, Tom Harrell, Weldon Erving, Sam Rivers and many others. He was featured in Robert Altman’s motion picture “Kansas City”, Madonna’s music video “My Baby’s Got a Secret”, as well as Malcolm Lee’s film “The Best Man”. He played on the sound truck of “The Perez Family” and is proud to be included in The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz (Oxford University Press 1999). James was also a featured soloist with Jon Faddis and Carnegie Hall Jazz Orchestra, as well as Wynton Marsalis and The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Today, he’s playing with The Duke Ellington Orchestra, working with several of Don Byron’s Bands and also working with NYC Blues Devil. #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #jameszollar #trumpet #trumpets #trumpeter #trumpetplayer #trumpetlife #trumpetgear #musician #jazz #jazzmusician #jazzmusic #musicianslife #musically #music #band #trumpetsolo #artistspotlight #talentedmusician #whauserphoto

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: EDDIE ALLEN ... Trumpeter, composer, arranger, author, Eddie Allen is one of the more versatile musicians on the New York scene. He's called upon to play everything from Jazz (big band as well as small ensembles) to R&B/Pop to Latin to symphonic to Broadway and everything in between. Learn more about Eddie Allen by visiting RSBerkeley.com. #discoverrsberkeley discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #eddieallen #trumpeter #flugelhorn #trumpet #cornet #musician #jazz #jazzmusician #nycmusician #musicianslife #musically #musicalartist #broadway #musicianlife #talentedmusician #artistspotlight #music

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Glenn Zottola ... Today, Glenn Zottola is as hard to classify as ever. Zottola’s doubling ability and his unique combination of influences and broad stylistic acumen are the basis of a formidably well-rounded talent, finding Glenn at home in nearly any musical environment, making him nearly impossible to pigeonhole. A typical Zottola CD presents the listener a potpourri of jazz styles. One track might find his muted trumpet emulating a moody Miles Davis, while the next will feature his blazing alto saxophone tearing it up à la Charlie Parker. Plus, there’s always room for his instantly recognizable big, warm trumpet sound as he honors the early jazz and swing masters. #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #glennzottola #trumpeter #trumpet #saxophonist #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #musician #musicianslife #bennygoodman #gerrymulligan #chickcorea #countbasie #franksinatra #tonybennet #suzannesomers

“The Dexter Gordon Legends Tenor Sax mouthpiece truly has personality. It plays even from the top to the bottom and is the most in tune tenor mouthpiece I have ever played. It has a warm “core” to the sound and speaks. I have always played a rubber mouthpiece on tenor but this mouthpiece is everything I imagined in a metal mouthpiece and more. Something I always wanted to experience." - Glenn Zottola ... #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #legendsseries #legendsseriesmouthpieces #dextergordon #jazzlegend #jazz #saxophone #tenorsaxophone #saxophonist #saxophonemouthpiece #setup #gear #goldplated #madeintheusa #whauserphoto #playsaxophone #saxophonelife #saxophones #saxophoneworld #saxophoneswag #saxophonemusic #sax #jazzsaxophone #jackonque #madeintheusa #checkitout #musicianslife

Flugelhorn on Friday ... “The RS Berkeley flugelhorn has a smooth, warm, even sound from top to bottom. The valve action is light and responsive. I look forward to playing it more in my performances.” - Eddie Allen (Model: FLU669) #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #flugelhorn #flugelhorns #flugelhornplayer #trumpet #trumpeter #trumpets #brassinstruments #musicalinstrument #brasssection #schoolband #band #lacqueredbrass #trumpetlife #trumpetplayers #playflugelhorn #playmusic #supportmusic #whauserphoto

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Gabriel Alegria @gabrielalegrias ... "It is often difficult to find a trumpet that allows for both technical execution and personal expression. The TP612N is a lightweight instrument that removes the feeling of a "barrier" between player and music. The horn allows you to be yourself. As a result, you take responsibility for every note. It is literally a breath of fresh air in the marketplace!” #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #gabrielalegria #artistspotlight #trumpet #trumpeter #trumpets #lightweighttrumpet #unlacqueredbrass #trumpetplayer #trumpetlife #trumpetgear #jazz #peru #brooklynmusic #nycmusic #afroperuvianjazz #trumpetlife #band #music #musician #musically #musicianslife #musicphotography #newjerseycityuniversity #trumpetsolo #jazztrumpet
