Brothers Hypnotic: The Principle of Simplicity

Clip: Season 15 Episode 15 | 1m 52s

Brothers Hypnotic premieres on PBS Independent Lens on April 7, 2014.

In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary Brothers Hypnotic, the brothers discuss how their father, Phil Cohran, taught them the importance of long tones in playing horns, to play one note as steady as possible, “the principle of simplicity.” We also seem them playing their horns outside, magically.
