You cats up North need to protect your border from trumpet players who call the mainland of these U.S. of A. their home.
Are you familiar and/or worked with any of these cats from Rob McConnell's band -
Arnie Chycoski,Steve McDade,John MacLeod,Guido Basso,Dave Woods,Dave Dunlop,
Kevin Turcotte,Erich Traugott ? |
Arnie is my favorite lead player, but he lives on the other side of the country these days.
Steve McDade teaches trumpet at my old college. I studied trumpet and arranging with John MacLeod (one of the world's finest arrangers in my opinion). I played a concert with Guido in first year. Dave Dunlop also teaches at my college. I would like to get some lessons with Kevin Turcotte, but I have just been too busy with other things. He teaches at a different university here.
And that is just the trumpets. Other Boss Brass Alumni at my college are Pat Labarbera, Alex Dean, Kirk Macdonald, Al Kay, and many more.
