| Dave Trigg on TV: Apollo 70th!!!
Hey folks:
I got a call last night from a fellow trumpet playing buddy.
He said turn on the TV there is a hot band on.
It was the 70th anniversary of the Apollo theater here in New York City.
I don't know if everyone elsewhere in the world gets it, but I sure hope you guy's on the west coast do. It was last night Saturday, June 19th, at around 8:30-9:00 eastern standard time.
Anyway it was a nice show and some great tributes. The backup band was great. Dave Trigg was in it and played in the section. His sound is sure outstanding. I wonder if he was on his new Calicchio horn last night? The camera shots never got close enough for me to tell. Just by hearing it I say yes, he did have that Calicchio "zip" in his sound but that's just my ear telling me it hears my favorite sound. (aka Calicchio!)
Anyway I hope some folks on here caught it because the band sounded really good! I almost missed it but I'm glad my buddy gave me the heads up and told me Dave was on.
Dave Trigg is the man out here let me tell ya!!!
I went out later on last night and played my usual salsa gig and I said, "well come on now, you just heard the sound concept now just do it here" oh well no dice for me!
Perhaps soon, perhaps soon!!!
Take care all, James |
