He said he had just done 90 days on the road with like 85 gigs or something. That is frightening.

Toronto? French Horn Player? a Bar? could this have been Jeff Nelson?

I don't know man. I spent some time with Jens this past week and I asked him the same question. He didn't seem too interested in the turnover crisis. When I began taking the trumpet seriously (high school) Jens was playing with them. That is the Canadian Brass that I know and grew up with (trumpet wise). My favorite group was the one with Jens Lindemann, Ronald Romm, Davis Ohanian, Eugene and Chuck. (the "Christmas Experiment" generation).

I have mine. It's in the case. It's one of the Getzen custom-shop "C" trumpets, with "balanced" valve-block placement. Fine horn.

Wait...Stuart Laughton has been fired? Can anyone corroborate this? I looked at the website and it DOES appear they have a vacancy in his position. I'm curious...fired or quit or asked to leave? Odd.....

Too bad, because I really liked his sound, better than even the other trumpet player (who was really well liked by most others). Stuart had a nice, milky-smooth sound...I'll miss that!

I found it interesting that Laughton came back to play with them recently as he was one of the "original" CB members.

I have a paper back book with the early history and commentary on the Canadian Brass.

Laughton was playing with another group "Northern Brass" and I have a couple of their CD's as well. Fine (as in fine wine) group. Yes he does have a beautiful sound.

I would be curious about why he decided to come back and then leave (for whatever reason) in a relatively short timespan.

The True North Brass is a fantastic brass group. I study with the trombonist at my college and he even purchased a quintet arrangment I did for the group.

Sorry I got the name wrong. The two discs I have of theirs are excellent both in interesting selections and performances.

Is Stuart Laughton with them again or someone else?

I can't quite remember, but I don't think Stuart is with them right now. He did do a clinic at my college this winter though (although I wasn't able to make it).
He is a really interesting clinician because he is an expert in the ancestors of the trumpet, and regularly plays them at concerts.

According to the Canadian Brass website, Stuart is with them part-time. They are using Joe Burgstaller as the "anchor" and rotating the other part between a few different trumpeters - of which Stuart is one.

Does anyone know what happened to Justin Emerich?
