John Korsrud: Composition, Trumpet, Hard Rubber Orchestra
John talks his formative years learning from Hugh Fraser, his 7 times at Burning Man, and more
On the Rhythm Changes Podcast, John Korsrud talks about composition, his formative years learning from Hugh Fraser, and his 7 times going to Burning Man. John is a composer and trumpeter in Vancouver who is known for his Juno-nominated big band, the Hard Rubber Orchestra, and for its parallel band Orquestra Goma Dura as well as his newer large ensemble. As a trumpeter, John also plays frequently with Cat Toren, Jillian Lebeck, Jon Bentley, and many more of our finest musicians. He discusses his love of Vancouver, spending time in Amsterdam, and that time he got stranded on the highway between two rock slides.
John Korsrud's Absolute Unit plays a free concert at SFU Woodward's on October 20.
