Episode 40: Hanging With Sean Billings

My guest for this episode is Sean Billings. 
Sean is an LA-based trumpet player who has a love for music from all cultures. Sean has toured the world as a long time member of the Brian Setzer Orchestra and is a founding member of the genre-bending band Jungle Fire. Sean also plays a vital role in the future of music education as part of the faculty of the Musicians Institute.   
Check out what Sean has to say about the formation of Jungle Fire, trying not to be too busy, being clear on your purpose for playing, playing in the Brian Setzer Orchestra, the importance of being yourself, writing the trumpet curriculum for the Musicians Institute, creating a new approach to educating commercial players, the importance of networking and building relationships, sound concepts, musical influences, listening to lead trumpet players, being patient, and so much more.  
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
