It was love at first sight and sound. Ingrid is one beautiful lady with soooo much talent and soul.
Ingrid has such a love for music and teaching....and this really comes through when she conducts these wonderful clinics and performances.
I do remember you mentioning the event during the old AOL days.
I also remember the police chase around King County when you insisted on using your pocket horn rather than the one provided by Cadillac.
Are you in touch with Al Molina & Vern Thompson ?
I expected to see those cats as well as Mike Vax hanging in this joint.

------------------Ah yes....Joe!!!! I remember that Cornish Gig all so very very well....Yes, Ingrid is truly a gift for not only dead ol' eyeballs...but most of all, a balm for the ear-balls as well.
She really "gets around that horn" with her improv. So many trumpet players I have heard say that her improvisational skill make so much musicial sense when compared to so many other players...who seem to "get lost and end up sounding like they are just playing some kind of Arban practice scales.
Ingrid Jensen uses the theme of the song...and then takes it from there. Her music patterns (riffs and improv is always soooooooooo darned musical.)
Give Ingrid our best from the ol' Boeing buds here in the NW. My friend Nick Dyson, took his beautiful little girl friend with us to the Cornish event. I think she was a little concerned to see how bofus' trumpet geeks was so blown away by her beautiful musical presentations at that performance with her team of colleagues at the Cornish.
Stay well and warm in the buuuuuuuuuuuuurg?' The last trumpet gig I played was for a memorial of a dear friend of mine, who chose to end his life, because his health was in a death spiral.
Bottom line: Like the song says: (that I was back a soloist on---"They are no mistakes, just lessons to be learned.
n' all that jazz....Nice to see you posting.
