| Hi all,
Dave Trigg falls into the modern lead trumpet sound, strong, intense, cutting and deadly accurate like a surgeon’s scalpel
He plays a Calicchio med. bore, #3L pipe , 1sZ bell, reversed lead pipe, minimal bracing and it light as a feather. Trigg played a “ Gold Chicago Benge med. Bore “ before the Calicchio, but did at one time had a Yamah Shew. Duda made this Calicchio in Tulsa. I still have the original prototype here with me, ( I might give it back at the Namm Show in Anaheim, maybe , probably, not sure yet ) that was made with a Hollywood valve casing which was heavier than Dave liked and it made the trumpet a little tight and out of balance.
Dave plays a Marc. piece that is made for the Pete Candoli underpart and a Faddis- type rim.
On Natalie's Show, out here at the Anaheim Pond, ( where the Mighty Anaheim Ducks play ) Dave played " out of this world " lead trumpet all night and on the end of one tune ," Luck be a Lady Tonight ", out of nowhere and after a long Natalie " singing break " without band , Dave puts the horn to his mouth for the last note and nails, and I mean nails, a hi Bb that's in octaves with the other trumpets at the end of the tune. He picked it out of thin air. No great “ prep “ or nothing, just trumpet to lips and “ Wham “
He hadn't done it at rehearsals so everyone " pissed their pants “ even Natalie turned around and smiled. It was so loud and intune, it sounded like the rest of us didn’t even exist.
I’m sure all of Anaheim, Ca , including Disneyland stopped, turned their heads and said, What the hell was that?''
