Since his emergence on the scene in 1980, Fedchock has established himself as a world-class trombone soloist, a heralded bandleader, and a Grammy-nominated arranger. An in-demand performer and writer in New York City, his multifaceted talents have led him to become one of NYC’s premier jazz artists. His critically acclaimed John Fedchock New York Big Band has become a marquee group, showcasing Fedchock’s trombone and arranging as well as the band’s all-star soloists. The JFNYBB’s five CDs on the MAMA and Reservoir Music labels have all received high praise from critics and extraordinary success on national jazz radio charts. The early success of the band resulted in Fedchock’s name appearing in DOWNBEAT’s Readers Poll under the categories of Trombone, Arranger and Big Band, simultaneously for several consecutive years. In recognition of his formidable arranging skills, Fedchock is a two-time GRAMMY Award nominee for “Best Instrumental Arrangement”. The JFNYBB’s recordings have appeared in jazz radio’s Top Ten, and the New York Times has applauded the band’s “Cheerful Syncopation, Served With Spit-and-Polish Precision.” Small group projects with his quartet and NY Sextet showcase A-list sidemen along with Fedchock’s “incomparable trombone playing, which seems to have no limit, technically or musically” (JazzReview.com).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFedchock began his career as a jazz trombonist when he joined the legendary Woody Herman Orchestra in 1980. He toured with Woody’s “Thundering Herd” for seven years, during which time he was musical director and a featured soloist. He served as musical coordinator and chief arranger in the production of Herman’s last two Grammy Award nominated albums “50th Anniversary Tour” and “Woody’s Gold Star”, and received accolades from jazz journalists worldwide. Famed jazz critic Leonard Feather called him the “unsung hero” of Woody’s “50th Anniversary Tour” album and Woody said of Fedchock, “He’s my right hand man. Everything I ask of John he accomplishes, and I ask a lot. He’s a major talent.” DOWNBEAT magazine stated that, “it was the young blood of musicians like Fedchock that helped keep Woody Herman’s last years musically healthy and growing”. Fedchock still maintains a close association with the Herman orchestra, performing with the group on occasion and continuing to add his own compositions and arrangements to the band’s library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFedchock has toured with T.S. Monk, Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band, Louie Bellson Big Band, Bob Belden Ensemble, Manhattan Jazz Orchestra, Jon Faddis Jazz Orchestra and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, and has performed at jazz festivals and concert halls around the world.  As a solo artist, he appears throughout the United States and abroad performing as guest trombonist\/composer\/conductor. To add to his already diverse list of multiple talents, Fedchock is also a producer of note, and has lent his studio expertise to several recent recording projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Cleveland, Ohio, Fedchock is a graduate of The Ohio State University with degrees in Music Education and Jazz Studies. He also holds a master’s degree in Jazz Studies And Contemporary Media from the prestigious Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. He is an in-demand clinician, and conducts seminars and workshops at colleges and universities across the country. His compositions and arrangements are published by Jazzlines Publications, Kendor Music Inc, and Walrus Music Publishing. John Fedchock is a trombone artist for XO Professional Brass and plays XO trombones exclusively.

Mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an improved version of the V-cup Roger Ingram has played for decades. Until now, there has been only one in existence. The Ingram V-cup is the mouthpiece Mr. Ingram uses for specific upper register work. Roger Ingram has used his V-cup in conjunction with the \"Ingram Lead\" mouthpiece on the majority of big band CDs\/DVDs he has played on during the last 20 years. Because of the multitude of inquiries in recent years with regard to getting a copy of Ingram's V-cup, Mr. Ingram has finally decided to make this unique duplicate available. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the historical record: the design of this new V-cup is based on a custom-made mouthpiece crafted by Dominick Callichio for Maynard Ferguson in the 1950s. The design of the Giardinelli MF-1 was loosely modeled after this same Callichio piece in the early 1960s. In the 1990s Maynard gifted his original Callichio mouthpiece to Mr. Ingram. There are many similarities between Ingram's V-cup and Maynard's vintage Callichio. However, there are important differences: the back-bore of the Ingram V-cup mouthpiece is medium-to-open and the exact length of the back-bore's cylindrical section has been adjusted to optimize accuracy and provide greater ease of slotting in the upper registers. The taper of the cup's V has been slightly modified to improve playability. The solid brass blank for the new Ingram V-cup is an original blend of design characteristics and was carefully designed by Mr. Ingram to optimize \"mass\" appeal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner rim diameter is 0.609\", outer rim diameter is 1.020\", and a #30 drill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngram Lead Mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis ideal when performing a demanding 1st trumpet book in a modern day jazz ensemble. This mouthpiece projects extremely well and yields a bright sound. Access to the upper and extreme upper registers can be easily accomplished with this mouthpiece, when approached properly. This mouthpiece is an improved version of the mouthpiece Mr Ingram used on every big band he has performed and recorded on since his days with the Woody Herman Orchestra in the 1980s. This mouthpiece has been improved by optimizing the cylindrical section of the backbore yielding significantly better slotting in all registers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner rim diameter is 0.619\".

This is the mouthpiece Mr Ingram used during his years in New York City when he was working a multitude of Broadway shows in between tours with Harry Connick, Jr., Ray Charles, and Paul Anka. Mr Ingram uses this mouthpiece for commercial recording sessions to this day (i.e., radio, tv, and movies, etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mouthpiece has a bowl cup and is deeper and wider than the Ingram Lead mouthpiece. The Ingram Studio mouthpiece projects extremely well and has a much broader sound than the Ingram Lead mouthpiece. Solid upper register \"money notes\" are easily attainable with this mouthpiece.

This mouthpiece is also an excellent all-around \"middle of the road\" mouthpiece for a greater variety of playing needs. There are a few instances where this mouthpiece has worked very well for playing lead in a commercial capacity. As opposed to the studio mouthpiece, which is also an excellent all-around mouthpiece, the Be-Bop affords a player an easier attack, due to the slightly sharper inner bite of the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngram Jazz Mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis ideal for jazz improvisation and orchestral work. Mr Ingram has used this mouthpiece in the appropriate situations for decades. This mouthpiece has a bowl cup and is significantly deeper and wider than the Ingram Studio mouthpiece. The Ingram Jazz mouthpiece has a dark sound and offers great flexibility. Mr Ingram does not attempt to play lead trumpet in a commercial capacity with this mouthpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner rim diameter is 0.648. The outer rim diameter is 1.066. The cup depth is 0.427in (10.85mm). This mouthpiece comes with a #28 drill and the backbore is slightly more open than the other 3 mouthpieces in the Ingram line. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eInstant Chet\u003c\/strong\u003e model is a fun departure from the typical lead trumpet mouthpieces that Roger is known for.  It's a very deep, funnel shaped cup, with a large #16 (0.177\") throat.  Overall length is shorter at 3.157\" to accommodate the larger internal volume of the mouthpiece.  Producing a very fluffy and dark sound, the Instant Chet tales all the edge off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, the \u003cstrong\u003eVintage Maynard\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a perfect duplicate of the one-of-a-kind custom-made mouthpiece hand-crafted by Domenick Calicchio for Maynard Ferguson in 1955. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Verdun, Quebec, Maynard began his career in Canada, and moved to the US in 1948. After stints with the bands of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey, and Charlie Barnet, he came to public prominence with the Stan Kenton Orchestra from 1949 to 1953. He won the Down Beat Readers' Poll as best trumpeter in 1950, 1951, and 1952. Maynard moved to Hollywood, CA in late 1953, enticed by a first-call contract with Paramount Pictures. Maynard played on 46 Paramount movie soundtracks, most notably, The Ten Commandments. It was in Hollywood where he met master mouthpiece maker Domenick Calicchio. Domenick worked with Maynard to create his custom original mouthpiece, which Maynard then performed and recorded with until 1961. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, at an MF band rehearsal in preparation for the \"Live in London\" tour, Maynard gifted his original custom-made Calicchio mouthpiece to his then lead trumpet player, Roger Ingram. According to what Maynard told Roger when he gave him the original, he played this mouthpiece on everything he recorded from 1955 through 1961. In 1962, Maynard collaborated with Bob Giardinelli and Bob's chief mouthpiece machinist, Jack Onque, to create the Giardinelli \"MF-1\", loosely based on this custom hand-made Calicchio mouthpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe throat size is a 24 (0.152\") and the cup is shallow and has a bowl, V shape. The overall length is 3.217\", being slightly shorter than most standard Bb trumpet mouthpieces manufactured today. The inner diameter of the rim is about 0.623\", includes a very soft and gentle bit into the shallow V shape, and the outer diameter of the rim is 1.053\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pickett Brass","offers":[{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Lead","offer_id":42814657888361,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Lead 2","offer_id":42814657921129,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Studio","offer_id":42814657953897,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Studio 2","offer_id":42814657986665,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ V-Cup","offer_id":42814658019433,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Bebop","offer_id":42814658052201,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Jazz","offer_id":42814658084969,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Gozzo","offer_id":42814658117737,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Instant Chet","offer_id":42814658150505,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver: Polished \/ Vintage Maynard","offer_id":42814658183273,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Lead","offer_id":42814658216041,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Lead 2","offer_id":42814658248809,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Studio","offer_id":42814658281577,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Studio 2","offer_id":42814658314345,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ V-Cup","offer_id":42814658347113,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Bebop","offer_id":42814658379881,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Jazz","offer_id":42814658412649,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Gozzo","offer_id":42814658445417,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Instant Chet","offer_id":42814658478185,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold: Polished \/ Vintage Maynard","offer_id":42814658510953,"sku":null,"price":287.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/2493\/0665\/files\/RogerIngram-pic3-4print.jpg?v=1790948087"},{"product_id":"trumpet-models-erik-morales","title":"Erik Morales","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Erik Morales models are designed to be extremely comfortable over long periods of playing.

Thanks to the Pickett Team for allowing my dream mouthpiece to come true!\" - Altin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pickett Brass","offers":[{"title":"El Fuego \/ Silver: Polished","offer_id":42961212375145,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"El Fuego \/ Gold: Polished","offer_id":42961212407913,"sku":null,"price":399.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/2493\/0665\/files\/2025.09.10AltinSencalar-6.jpg?v=1787072808"}],"url":"https:\/\/pickettblackburn.com\/collections\/signature-mouthpieces.oembed","provider":"Pickett Brass \u0026 Blackburn Trumpets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
