| Re: So how did you get into playing trumpet?
My parents always had jazz music playing on our living room stereo, the good stuff of course. The sounds of Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Maynard Ferguson, Wynton Marsalis, Chet Baker, Chuck Mangione, etc etc was always permeating throughout the house. I always loved the sound of the trumpet more than any other instrument and had my heart set on playing it. The day my father brought down his trumpet from high school was an exciting day! My love for the instrument grows more each and every day.
