| I played first NY performances of works by Henri Lazarof, Daniel Asia, Ornette Coleman and a couple other really good works for solo trumpet and various ensembles. the Brooklyn Philharmonic used to do tons of new works. In all those years there was only one work that I could not bring off.
That work had graphic notation, I just did not have the time, or the desire to learn that technique of the composer.
I played the Addison Concerto, and I love the work.
I would love John Adams or Michael Torke to write a work for solo trumpet.
Their works always seem to have great moments for trumpet.
The best works are still to be written.
