| Hi Groovyhorn, yes Dominic plays a Taylor but no he is not really 'up and coming' (although he is a bit younger than me!) - he is pretty well established as a strong soloist and horn section player. He has held down the trumpet chair with the James Taylor Quartet for several years and recently took over from Kevin Robinson in Incognito. I believe Dominic studied at Berkley and he is another guy who paid his dues in NYJO.
It's great to receive feedback and comments from everyone but I am a bit afraid that I may have 'polluted' this excellent thread started by Mr Gianni. Baring that in mind, I will reply to Jack via PM and will shortly post a couple of threads to provide information about the scene here in the UK.
Larry, I can't wait to read Part Two and have the opportunity to broaden my knowledge through your insights into the West Coast traditions.
All the best, Noel. |
