Ray Mase and Allan Dean are legends in the world of trumpet and brass. They are both foundational figures of the brass quintet genre, were part of the start of the early music scene in the United States performing on period instruments, and were both members of the astounding Summit Brass. Their teaching careers led them to the highly respected music schools at Yale (Allan) and Julliard (Ray).
In Part 1 of my conversation with Allan and Ray, we discuss the beginning of the brass quintet movement in the United States, and the role that the American and New York Brass Quintets played in this movement. We end by sharing some funny stories of our time together with the Summit Brass.
