Switching gears a little this week and talking to a more jazz-oriented guest, Mr. Wes Funderburk! As a faculty member of Kennesaw State University and an established composer and performer in Atlanta, Wes has extensive freelance experience and has some great stories to share. He's also just a genuinely funny guy and a joy to talk to, with our conversation spanning from his early inspirational figures and jazz trombone idols to some questionable jokes he shared with an unsuspecting elderly audience... yikes. We hope you find this as entertaining as we did! -- Transition music: Chicago Blues, Kenny Dorham, Wes Funderburk &amp; Joe Gransden Big Band 2013 Intro/Outro music: I Will Go Sailing No More, Randy Newman, Lawson Gardner Instagram: @8thposition @dbaldwin903 @lawson.does.trombone

Tom Gibson

Wes Funderburk and Tom Gibson join Andrew &amp; Lance for one of the most chaotic and accidentally informative episode yet. We and Tom both live in Atlanta and write, gig, teach and conduct there (both play/conduct/arrange for the Atlanta Pops, the Joe Grandson Big Band and teach at Kennesaw State University. Additionally, Wes teaches at Georgia State and Tom teaches at the University of West Georgia). They each have also launched successful online projects (one of which involved a banana and a net pot) and happen to be two of the funniest people on the earth.    Tom unpacks his tone color, time and note shape approach to teaching and Wes recalls the time he borrowed a burger from Hardee’s.   Warning: It’s a little chaotic at the beginning of the episode. Hang in there. It’s worth it.    Links: Wes' personal website   Wes' Kennesaw bio page   Tom's West Georgia University bio page   Atlanta Pops   Joe Grandsen Big Band    Want to help the show?
