“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”

Dr. David Schroeder Director of Jazz Studies, NYU Steinhardt

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Brice Winston ... Brice Winston is an American born saxophonist and composer currently living in Tucson, AZ. After attending school at the University of New Orleans, he initially stepped out with trumpeter Nicholas Payton before joining forces with Grammy Award winning trumpeter/composer Terence Blanchard. Brice's 16 year residency in New Orleans and his association with Blanchard has afforded him the opportunity to record and/or perform with some of the greatest musicians in jazz, including Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland, Ellis Marsalis, Lionel Loueke, Robert Glasper, Aaron Parks, Marcus Miller, Dizzie Gillespie, Branford Marsalis, Nneena Freelon, Dianne Reeves, Brian Blade, Patty Austin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Mark Whitfield, Mark Turner, and Eric Harland, among others. Brice appears as a composer and a performer on numerous Blanchard film scores and CD releases, including his latest effort, Magnetic. Brice is also one of the co-owners of the Tucson Jazz Institute (TJI) Community Music School in Tucson, AZ. TJI focuses primarily on teaching jazz to middle and high school students in and around southern Arizona. TJI's ensembles have earned national and international recognition, with its Ellington Band winning the Essentially Ellington competition in New York at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and earning the top high school jazz band title from Downbeat Magazine. Brice has spent a considerable amount of time on education, appearing as a guest clinician for such prestigious programs as the Thelonious Monk Institute for jazz and the Henry Mancini Institute for jazz, in addition to appearing as a guest artist and clinician at various universities and colleges. #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyvirtuososaxophone #bricewinston #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #saxophone #saxophoneplayer #saxophonesolo #saxophonelife #saxophonist #tenorsaxophone #musician #musicians #music #talentedmusicians #musicianslife #musically #artistspotlight

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Deborah Yates ... "I perform on the Volaré professional model and am extremely pleased with the tonal quality and intonation. It performs exquisitely in the full range of the flute. As I perform with a full rock band behind me, it can often be a challenge to be heard even with the best mics. The first time I played with the Volaré, the response from the band was ‘you are finally cutting through’. It brings a new capability that I didn’t have with my previous instruments.” #discoverrsberkeley #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #deborahyates #volareflute #flute #flutes #flutist #flautist #fluteplayer #flutemusic #flutelife #flutesolo #fluteworld #fluteplayers #musician #music #musicianslife #talentedmusicians #artistspotlight #playmusic
