TrumpetEd

Thanks for sharing that. I feel very fortunate to have seen Conte and Pete playing together at Carmelo's on Van Nuys Blvd in the early 1980s. The two of them together resulted in a great, great show. I attended a Christmas party in 2006 where Conte's widow was present. We had a nice conversation about him. It was nice to hear some stories of one of the great jazz trumpeters from someone who was close to him. It's great to see so many people on this website keeping guys like Conte alive through the sharing of his music.
