Hi John -

I never did see the the PBS special, but I do remember the rec. session a bit. "The Producers" normally has 3 tpts., but because they do the entire cast album in one day (9-12, 1-4, 2-5, 8-11), they used 4 trumpets. The regular lead player couldn't do the recording, so I split lead with Brian O'Flaherty. The other tpts. were Nick Marchionne & Frank Greene. I don't remember Mel asking about overtime, but if he did, I bet it was a joke.

I believe Brian was playing a Bach 37 (?), but he also sometimes plays an old Benge (3X, I think).

Thanks -
Tony
