Tony ...
I heard the show while visiting a trumpet friend in NY, Dave Rodgers .. Dave also was playing a long running show at the time ( the name escapes me now ) and Chris Jaudes was playing the principal chair at that time in Gypsy He actually took the opening solo up a octave and that night nailed it. His sound really filled the thearter.
I sure a solo like that up an octave is somewhat of a pitfall if you are having a bad night. Once you start playing it that way, I imagine you have to always play it that way.
I do think Chris Jaudes is one of the finest players on the pro trumpet circles in NY. |
