Great hommage to a wonderful musicianBy CRNBrian Shooks book on William Vacchiano provides an excellent and concise overview of the life; career; and pedagogy of a well-respected musician. The text included many excerpts from interviews with Vacchiano and his former students; and many of the anecdotes helped bring Vacchiano to life for me. Rarely have I read about an individual who was so well respected by almost everyone who knew him. He appeared to be a very genuine person; and reading this book gave me a new appreciation of Vacchiano. I am sure I will listen to the older NY Philharmonic recordings in a new light after reading this book and getting to know more about Vacchiano. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in orchestral brass playing and teaching would appreciate this book; both to learn about the history and pedagogy of this great musician.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Keeping the Vacchiano Legacy aliveBy Jeffrey WohlbachProfessor Shooks new book "Last Stop; Carnegie Hall: New York Philharmonic Trumpeter William Vacchiano" is a great collection of stories; anecdotes; and tributes to a wonderful human being and great musician! Vacchiano was a great believer in necessity being the mother of invention; and this book sheds new life on the many techniques he schemed to help make the job of principal trumpet more fun; leading to freer music making. Additionally; learning of Vacchianos view of certain orchestral repertoire definitely sheds new life on his core of NY Philharmonic recordings. Its been great fun going back and rediscovering these recordings with this book as a guide. This should be required reading for any student of trumpet; youll enjoy it!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting reading for any trumpet playerBy D.
