Hi Wilmer:

It was a great surprise to find you in attendance!

Stanton Davis is a very interesting musician......surely a musician who puts his mental energy 100% into his craft. When I hear him discuss things his ultimate goal is to be a great artist.....not just a great trumpet player.

I have been giving more thought of my own to a couple of things he talked about. The concept of creating in the music a "Lift" by understanding the rythmic subdivision. Also, ideas of understanding the relationship between dance and the player. The idea that "risk" is sometimes what we need to do to "make things happen".

Couple of things I am looking to acquire: Music by George Russel and Gunther Schueller.

By the way Wilmer, please let me know if you have any luck finding a #9 plunger!

Take care,

Oscar Onoz
