Details:
Originally from Portland Oregon, Gary Guthman started
his career at the age of nine. Gary''s early
years were musically full of performing, with no
less that half-dozen school ensembles throught
high school and college.
As a young teen, Gary was a member of the nationally
acclaimed "Seldom Six" Dixieland band, comprised of
12 and 14 years olds who traveled the United States
performing stage shows and conventions, playing, singing
and tap-dancing all the way.
Throughout Gary''s High School and College years, he performed with jazz and
rock and roll bands and at 17 years old, auditioned for the acclaimed
Portland (Oregon) Youth Orchestra; the oldest of its kind in the
United States. Gary played principal trumpet and in his last year with
the PYO, performed as soloist with the orchestra, the only trumpet
player in its history (to date) to achieve that acclaim.
Mr. Guthman was fortunate to study trumpet for the first 15 of his
playing years. His teachers were Jack Dalby (Low Brass - Oregon
Symphony), Joyce Johnson (Princial Trumpet - Oregon Symphony) and the
current principal trumpet of the Oregon Symphony - Fred Sautter.
After attending Portland State University, Gary was pleased to do short
stints with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra (lead by Lee Castle), Stan
Kenton Orchestra, Don Ellis Orchestra and a number of engagements
with Louis Bellson.
In 1973, Gary Guthman moved to Canada. Over the next three years, he became
known as one of Canada''s premier lead and commercial trumpeters, playing on
over 100, televised "ITV IN Concert" performances as well as numerous radio
shows, jingles, movie Sound Tracks and in concert. For the 5 years following
1976, Gary performed on Television with Tom Jones, Paul Anka and Rene Simard.
Also during that time, Gary directed the jazz program at the University of
British Columbia in Vancouver and formed his now renowned "Tribute Orchestra".
1988 saw the inception of the Gary Guthman''s hit show "A TRibute To Harry James" followed
by the creation of his 2nd show "The Trumpet Greats" in 1995 and his current hit
show "Swing, Swing, Swing" in 2000.
From 1998-2001, Gary starred in the Hit Musicial Theatre Revue "Forever Swing" and was
nominated for a distinguished Canadain Acting "Jesse" Award.
Gary Guthman currently travels the world on the concert stage with his own bands, symphony
pops and occasionally can be seen headlining on Crystal, Holland America, Radisson, Cunard
and Celebrity Cruise Lines.
