 Re: What constitutes 'Old School'

Thanks for the essay, I appreciate it.

And from your roster of what constitutes old-school, ie. graf, Loree, 45 - 60 gouge,... I may be a geezer after all. Or perhaps I was oboe-born into that school.

Let's see.. I recently bought a RDG to upgrade my Graf, some time back switched from Loree to Covey for oboe ( still Loree e-horn), used to attend De Lancie lectures and concerts around D.C., went to the Mack summer camp in 1980, and used to listen to Mack's Crystal recordings at least once a week for about 20 years.

Funny?

I do play american style and still like a good core, but admit I have a certain affinity for the Gillet perspective and like the voice/violin concepts for their colorations and flexibility of expression.

Has the .45 -.60 gouge thinking evolved to some other?

I use more of a visual or graphical concept to describe phrasing, perhaps a variation on the number system since the numbers could be plotted on the graph I imagine. Spending 20 years doing IT and business intelligence work and using graphical tools has definitley influenced my perspective about this aspect of music.

There are probably lots of identifiable catalysts for change tied to our technology over the past 30 years, tuners for sure... and I got into synthesizers about 20 years back, still use them and recently added digital drums and a decade back, electronic wind controller. I even like combining the synthesis with the acoustic instruments. So I guess I'm not entirely stuck in the past, but still looking to learn and willing to challange the old lessons where we can do better.

Gracias from Colorado.
