While Chuck and Bob Findley were on tour with the grand gentleman of European easy listening music, James Last, in the spring of 2009, they were kind enough to spend an afternoon with us to record the first "Masters of Brass" segment with two artists and what an illustrious pair of brass players they are! And they also just happen to be brothers! Chuck Findley needs no introduction. His list of recording credits reads like a who's who of pop and jazz music of the past 40 years: Babara Streisand, Steely Dan, Natalie Cole, Miles, Earth Wind & Fire, Herbie Hancock, Elton John, Quincy Jones, Madonna, Rod Stewart, the Rolling Stones...and the list goes on and on. Bobby Findley was of course just a phone call away to sub for Chuck on several of the up to 12 recording sessions he had per day during the boom years. Both based in Los Angeles, they have been permanent fixtures in the music and recording scene there since the late 1960s doing steady gigs such as The Tonight Show, The Academy Awards, movie, TV and recording industry sessions and even performing as members of the second incarnation of Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass. Bobby is also known for his dedication to the great brass teacher Carmine Caruso and he is the leading torchbearer carrying this tradition on into the 21st century. In this film, Chuck and Bob Findley take us from their musical household in Cleveland ("there must be something in the water there," says Chuck, as so many current professionals of their generation hail from this American midwestern city - find out about them in the film!) and then on into the Dorsey brother's bands, Buddy Rich, Las Vegas and finally on to their present homes in Los Angeles. Along the way we're treated to fascinating insights into such a musical prodigy as Chuck Findley, become acquainted with their love for jazz music and their thoughts on its culture, hear fabulous true tales of life on the road and in the studio and learn about music and what's so special about it for these two extremely talented brothers. Throughout the entire film a beautiful empathy can be felt between these two siblings whose respect, love and enjoyment of each other is more than apparent. Bobby recognized Chuck's talent early on and nurtured and fed it so that it could be what it is today. Bobby's protective instincts also function to this day and help Chuck remain well-grounded despite his most exceptional musical abilities. For all interested brass players and fans: Chuck and Bob Findley have a lot of meaningful things to say about music and life and it is a pleasure to watch the interactions of two brothers who really appreciate and like each other.
