| Hi
Thank you PH for helping with Bob McCoy. When I met him I believe he was using a schilke mouthpiece, and had just started doing the Yamaha endorsement with Buddy Childers, Walt Johnson and Bobby Shew. The endorsment for 3 or the 4 players was short lived.
Bob McCoy was a great player and considered, along with Ernie Royal , to be the " High Note " guys intown ( Double C and above ) before Faddis and Soloff came to town.
One person I forgot to mention is Rick Henly, who is a great player with an incredible sound and technique. When he hit NY, he was playing a Bach 37 lt and a Reeves 41s / 2 mpc.
Again, everyone please fill in any blanks in the my post. I tried to cover almost 2 decades of trumpet playing in 500 words. Please add to it in any manner you can especially first hand info. that's the best, most accurate and most interesting.
Thanks,
LG |
