    Are you familiar with Allen Vizzutti? Have you heard his "Ritzville" (featuring Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea)?

    I know the name from his instructional book and recordings. Never heard that tune.

    It's an album. I had a copy sent to WFAC. Some good stuff on there. I picked up Jim Hall's Concierto upon your recommendation and dig it, so I'd like to throw some music your way.

    I like Allen's method books; challenging and fun. I was practicing some whole tone sections with the window open one day, and the neighbor kids yelled at me that it sounded like crap. But, I get it. Anything that doesn't sound like Frozen is off-putting to those little bastards.

    Spot on. I can't imagine how much time and effort he's put into his craft.

    I'd recommend Tine Thing Helseth for more of that beautiful trumpet music (10 by tenThing is a fun album, plus, she's a babe). Her and Maurice André have been my go-to classical trumpeters lately. Alison Balsom is legit too, but her recordings make her sound more boisterous than I prefer. *sips tea*

    I may be misreading you, but it sounds like you're suggesting, rather sarcastically, that I implied he hasn't worked hard, which would be off the mark. The guy is an extremely accomplished virtuoso, which obviously requires unending hours of woodshedding, listening, study, and an immense amount of talent. In contrast, there are many extremely talented people who haven't amounted to much. On the other hand, hard work in the absence of talent gets you somewhere, but it doesn't get you Vizzutti.

    Helseth is nice, but her interpretations of the literature are so conservative as to be almost uninteresting. I much prefer André, Bud Herseth, Armando Ghitalla, and my friend Rex Richardson. *Sips chianti*

    For anyone who assumed that Wynton Marsalis' playing was limited to jazz (which he does beautifully), listen to this version of him playing "Moto Perpetuo" by Paganini. Perfectly seamless circular breathing and what's more, he plays it legato which I assume requires much more air than staccato which is how it's usually played:

    Ah, ok. Sorry about that. I'm still getting the hang of this whole internet thing. Cheers.
