This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with (fellow caffeine-jacked Mannes alum) Sebastian Vera, principal trombonist of the Pittsburgh Opera and the River City Brass Band, and co-founder of the annual Third Coast Trombone Retreat in Montague, Michigan. We got into the how one becomes a complete person, practicing gratefulness, Third Coast's mission, and all sorts of other things.

Featured on this episode, Sebastian performing (3-time guest) Ben Brody's "Time in Waves" for solo trombone and delay.
