| What do we want to put between their ears?
As a player, I was turned on to the trumpet by the recordings of Herb Alpert, and (surprise!) I got to where I could sound like Herb, until I heard Chase, and (no surprise) I got to where I could sound like Herb Alpert up an octave, until I heard Maurice Andre, and got to the point I could sound like Chase playing piccolo trumpet, and so on, until I found my own voice on the trumpet. The question is as follows: If you were to strand a kid on a desert island with a trumpet,fingering chart, method books and one recording, what would that one recording be?
