Mac Gollehon

Trumpet Player Mac Gollehon of New York was born and raised in North Carolina and began playing guitar in blues and what was then called "uptown country bands" four nights a week at age 10. At around that same time his father Joe Gollehon, a trumpet player with natural ability and tone quality much like Billy Butterfield, started him on the trumpet. At the same time he taught Mac on trombone, euphonium, French horn and a few years later tuba. Mac's dad would always stress focus of tone center and not to over blow past pitch center. Around age 13, Mac played the circus and the band-leader Merle Evans had returned from retirement briefly

Mac Gollehon: The End is the Beginning

by John Pietaro
February 26, 2022

From the opening moments of “As Your World Burns," Mac Gollehon's music embraces not simply the underground, but the underside. This collection of fleeting, gripping brass and dense atmosphere amounts to the lost score for the '70s-'80s noir film we've longed for, as nasty in its perfection as was the Manhattan of those years. Gollehon's trumpet ...

This year in which we celebrated the return of live performance and simultaneously foresaw a rise in virus numbers and the resumption of show and venue closings, the pervasive issue remains on the anti-vax know-nothings affecting the lives of the careful, caring and compliant.

It's not often you hear of Miles Davis complementing trumpet players, but apparently prolific studio player Mac Gollehon was one of the rare exceptions. Nicknamed “chops" by the jazz icon (according to myth anyway), Gollehon has a very impressive resume; arranging and playing lead trumpet on over 500 gold/platinum records, he worked with big names like ...

Mac Gollehon: Oddissey of Nostalgia

June 12, 2012

Ecco un CD che, a un primo ascolto, potrebbe essere facilmente trascurato: un programma di classici del jazz, riproposti in modo apparentemente privo di particolarità - né filologici, né rivoluzionari - da musicisti non di primo piano (vi svetta, e un po' sorprende la sua presenza, Amina Claudine Myers), coronato da un titolo (offerto dall'unica composizione ...
