Boptism
Rich Willey has been leading bands called "Boptism" since 1985.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We only play live. When you hear our recordings, it's all done the old-fashioned way: everybody in the studio at the same time, no splicing, no over-dubbing, just the way you'd hear us live.
Your musical influences
Here's a long interview of me that answers this question: http://abel.hive.no/trumpet/interview/willey/
What equipment do you use?
Only acoustic instruments, except when we do outdoor gigs where we there is no piano.
Anything else?
My group is a throwback to the 1950s. If you liked the jazz from that era, you'll like Boptism.
