| Mark the date on your calendars folks!!! From experience I can say that Mr. Purtle is a phenomenal instructor. With all the time and money trumpet players waste (mouthpieces, horns, gagdets, etc.) this event will be well spent. |

Well, I have to say that for a first effort, Jeff put together a great camp. The facilities were wonderful, the media and sound were well executed, and the performances were top notch. Both Harry Kim and Susan Slaughter were extremely humble and took time to hang with anyone who was around. They both delivered very relevant lectures to commercial (Harry) and orchestral (Susan) players, sharing what they've experienced and what it takes to be successful in their fields. Jeff's lectures were solid, and he used plenty of video and audio excerpts from Claude Gordon's old lectures.
There were playing demonstrations by Claude Gordon (video), Jeff and a couple of Jeff's students. The performances by Harry Kim (Latin Jazz) and the Monarch Brass Quintet were fantastic! You could hear in their playing and their conversations after the concerts that they were so happy to be there and participate in this event.
I believe Jeff will be making the videos from the event available at a later date. He's also planning on hosting the camp again next year.

Unfortunately, I only got to attend on line, but it was nonetheless well worth the modest investment. Jeff went out of his way, during the lead up months, to make sure everything would work perfectly for all the on line viewers.. with different internet speeds, different time zones, languages etc.. The images were terrific quality, all HD, and the lectures and performances were really interesting. I definitely came away with a lot of things I hadn't come across before. The lectures covered the sorts of things they don't teach you at college.. about the industry, the real world of professional brass, and the practicality of day to day life as a brass player. The guest lecturers/performers were all world class! A unique and valuable event. Thanks Jeff.
