| I've always loved the sound of the trumpet from as long as I can remember, so can't really put the initial inspiration down to anyone. But one of my early teachers Phil Garlick, made playing the trumpet fun and that really got me going, along with another of Phil's pupils (and a guy who is still a good friend today) who was 2 or 3 years above me at school. He was (and still is) a great player and was often the player I looked up to in rehearsals and thought, I want to be as good as that (still get that feeling now!) He also introduced me to recordings of Wynton, Maurice, Jon Faddis, Maynard et al. So I was inspired to play and improve thanks to Adam lending me his CD collection on a regular basis.
