| Big MrClean Solo!!!
I played a really fun show on New Year’s Eve with the Mesa Symphony, a GREAT Jazz Trio, and Mike Crotty & Deater O’Neill. Mike did all the arrangements as he has for the past several years and this year the show was called “A Musical Tribute to TV’s Golden Era: 1950 – 1965”.
In a piece called “A Tribute to Madison Avenue”, we played dozens of popular old commercial themes [like Marlboro (Magnificent 7), Armour Hot Dogs, Folgers, Sara Lee, Etc). Mike ended up scoring one of the themes as a solo for 3rd trumpet (that’s me). I had a prominent four bars over the orchestra of Mr. Clean! Little did he know that a popular trumpet player on this web site also goes by this name!
Mi…Fa… Sol, Mi, Mi, Mi, Sol, Mi, Mi, Mi, Sol, Sol, La, Sol, Fa, Mi, Mi, Mi, Fa, Re, Re, Re, Fa, Re, Re, Re, Sol, Fa, Mi, Re, Do!
I just had to share that!
