Joe Bodiford, trumpet artist
Very few people have the good fortune to have a Master's Degree in something they love. I do. I have loved the trumpet since I was in the sixth grade. Now in my 50s, I have spent a lifetime working on "getting better".
Some days I win. Some days the trumpet wins. One day, I will die, and the trumpet will win.
Joe Bodiford, a Tallahassee native, has performed all over the United States and the world.
Joe was classically trained, winning numerous regional competitions, and ultimately the prestigious National Trumpet Competition.
Comfortable in all settings, from symphony and chamber music, to big band and small combo jazz, Joe is a versitile performer.
Today, Joe's "day job" is Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer, law professor, and author.
