Sophar,

I greatly admire Bud and used to study with him off and on when I was growing up as a neighbor in Oak Park, Illinois.

My own viewpoint might be stated, in Herseth-speak, as "there are many different ways to play the trumpet. Some sound better than others to me but all are interesting".

I'm not trying to be PC about this. . . I really am searching for diversity. Listen how different Bud, Roger Voisin, Gil Johnson, and Bill Vacchiano used to sound from one another back in the day. Note also how different the Chicago sounded from the Boston, Philadelphia, etc. (not even touching the European orchestras for the moment)

Best and watching,
EC
