  • The interviews keep getting better!

    I'm thoroughly enjoying Larry Powell's interviews on studioHFL.

    I started with the first episode - and each one gets better and better. My favorite episode so far (although a difficult choice) was the John Foster interview. The segments about the Baroque era alone is well worth your time to listen.

    Looking forward to listening to many more ahead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Harry Miedema HFL68
Q: How did you get into teaching saxophone at UIndy and develop the jazz program there?
Harry explains he began teaching saxophone while still on the road, eventually taking over the big band and building a jazz program through concerts, connections, and support from figures like Jamey Aebersold, which included creating a jazz festival/week and expanding the library.
HFL 167 Cliff Goldmacher
Q: How do you approach co-writing with artists who are also singers?
I look for partners who complement my strengths; I tend to contribute lyrics while pairing with strong melody writers, which creates a synergistic dynamic where both parts elevate each other and the artist's voice.
HFL 158 Rob Roy McGregor
Q: How did your service with the West Point Band shape your later career?
The three years with the West Point Band exposed me to intense discipline, touring, and high-performing ensembles, which prepared me for the demands of major orchestras and the adaptability needed in a long career.
HFL 158 Rob Roy McGregor
Q: What were you doing at Michigan and how did your path steer you toward jazz and orchestral playing?
I started as a psychology major, fell in love with music, switched to music school, and eventually found a balanced path between jazz aspirations and orchestral work, guided by mentors like Cliff Lilia.
HFL 160 Reinhold Friedrich
Q: How do you approach learning a new piece, especially when there might not be a clear frame of reference?
I rely on the score, the biography of the composer, and references from other works to form a concept of the piece, then I build my interpretation through study of the text, orchestration, and where I fit within the ensemble.
