The CBS film crew spent this last winter visiting with our clients Wynton Marsalis in New York and the Israel Philharmonic in Tel Aviv. They also made the trip to our shop for several days to film instrument and mouthpiece production and to interview Dave Monette. 

Both Wynton and Zubin Mehta were interviewed at length for the piece as well, and there will be film of the Israel Philharmonic and Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra trumpet sections using Monette instruments in performance. Our client Ron Miles also came in from Denver for the filming at our shop, and played a private concert with his trio for the cameras.

The Wall Street Journal article came on the heels of the Ken Burns Jazz series on PBS, which featured Wynton Marsalis prominently.  It seems the paper got so many inquiries about the unusual looking instrument Wynton was playing during the show that they looked us up and then visited our shop to get the full story.

Please check our site for news on when the CBS News segment will air, or watch your local listings for Sunday Mornings, which is when the show airs weekly.
