What was the name of the other trumpet player? He also had great chops.

Dave Brown played that show. He is one of the unsung heroes of Broadway. Dave played in "The Rink" section with me, now there is a hard show. It starred Chita Rivera AND Liza Minnelli. Jason Alexander was one of the roller-skating chorus. It was a strange amalgam of roller rink music, Liza stuff and Chita show-stoppers. The late Michael Gibson wrote some heavy trumpet stuff. We had fun. There was even a triple tonguing chart. We were on our toes every show. See if you can find this recording!
