Dream Trumpet Section

Lazorphaze · 05-28-2004, 10:35 PM

If you could choose any 4 or 5 trumpet to put into a big band, who would they be? (they have to be alive)
1st- Mike Vax
2nd- Bernie Edstrom
3rd-Dave Scott
4th- Lew Soloff

trickg · 05-29-2004, 01:04 AM

Jack Wengrosky - US Army Jazz Ambassadors
John Blount - US Navy Commodores
Joey Tartell - Former lead - US Army Jazz Ambassadors
Tommy Williams - Formerly in the US Army Jazz Ambassadors and US Army Blues

No particular order except that Tommy should probably be on the solo book.

THAT would be a KILLER trumpet section.

Lead: Wayne Bergeron
2nd:Ryan Kisor
3rd:Byron Stripling

I played with Jack Wengrosky for four years in the Elmhurst College Community Band about 18 years ago. My nephew was in that section as well and was great friends with Jack. (My nephew became split lead in the EC Jazz Band after Jack graduated). Jack was a stunning lead player back then and he could play all night and still rip off a double C with little strain. Jack was one of those lucky few who had a natural ability in the upper register. Of course he did work at it and the results were amazing. The power he had had to be heard to be believed and it is nice to hear he is doing very well.
Here is a funny little story. We were doing the Caillet (sp?) version of Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral in the EC Community Band. Jack was on first cornet and I was on the first trumpet part. There is a powerful high C at the climax in the first cornet part. Jack played a strong double C and we could hear it on top-and in perfect balance- of the 70+ piece band which was playing at maximum volume. After the end of the piece I looked at Jack and he just grinned.
Great lead player.

I'll choose from current British players:

1. Derek Watkins
2. Noel Langley
3. Gerard Presencer
4. Byron Wallen

That would be a nice section.

FlugelFlyer · 05-29-2004, 01:04 PM

Hmm, this requires thought....

Lead: George Graham

2nd: Doc Severinsen

3rd / Aux Lead: Wayne Bergeron

4th / Vocalist: Byron Stripling

Towel Boy: Me

If we're going to have a section of Brits we might as well have a section of Torontonians.

Lead: Arnie Chycoski(I think he's in Vancouver now but he used to be in Toronto)
2nd: Chase Sanborn
3rd: Brian O'Kane
4th: John MacLeod

Arnie's on Vancouver Island.

I think the kind of style you would want makes a big difference in who you would pick.

Only one person has selected Doc. What about Maynard? Do you want a perfect tight section, or one that can play thirds in the stratosphere? Depends on the sound I guess.

How about (in no particular order):

Doc
Maynard
Noel Langley
Alan Wise
Nick Drozdoff

Hard to leave anyone off ... like Byron and Wayne

Not sure they could play together (well, three of them have) but it would be fun.

Arnie's currently on the roster (listed as semi-retired) here:

Any section I would propose would have to include Leroy Jones in the jazz chair.

So how about...

Wayne Bergeron or Roger Ingram, I can't decide
Gary Grant
Leroy Jones
Rick Baptist
Guido Basso
