| 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.
Greetings Brother Don :
Ingrid is indeed a beautiful (literally & figuratively) performer.
Part of the problem with those other players you have in mind is:
They are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they never learn the damn trade.
There is a reason why we old timers refer to musicians as Craftsmen/women and why only a few grow in statue to become Master Craftsmen/women.
Keep BOP Alive !
