When a musician manages to acquire a personal style, after inwardly digesting the sources of influence he has chosen and liked, it is with the help of friends that he can monitor the next stage of his development.
During the difficult and solitary internal debate of the musician who is trying to free his ideas from the trammels of culture, custom and personal education, authoritative and accepted observers — friends — are necessary so that a picture of his progress can be fed back to him. If only to avoid his losing himself in the labyrinth of his own pretensions.
It is in this spirit that Brass Bulletin wishes to be a link. Is not friendship the most sensitive channel for the influence of ideas on the difficult path we have to follow?
