Alan's first real trumpet teacher, Gil Garcia, was my instructor in Loveland, Colorado.

I went with Alan to a Maynard concert in HS, but unfortunately, I never heard him play when he was with Maynard. I was in graduate school and a bit "busy."
Anyhow, small world. I can say this, when Alan was a senior, we had a HS band (both concert and jazz) that was almost beyond compare. Gil Garcia was a great inspiration and there was a lot of talent (many, many of the band members majored in music later, including myself).
Thanks for the reply and the free downloads!
