Wow...I'm a South African trumpeter and I know this kind of quality playing will never be here, only in Europe and the United States of America. It is my dream to play on this level....RESPECT!!!!
I'd give anything if my father were still alive to hear this. He played this piece in an Army band at the beginning of WW2, playing trumpet. He developed an infected upper lip, and switched to woodwinds. He then played the "Working on the Railroad" solo on the tenor sax. He was a heck of a musician and an oral surgeon. Me? Piano and lawyer.
