HAVE TRUMPET: WILL TRAVEL. Folks, if
you are an act that needs a trumpeter for any style
of music, feel free to contact me as per the
contact tab above or call at 847-835-1210. I can
also arrange for complete horn sections. I'm
based in the Chicago area, but road time is not
out of the question. It just depends on the bread.
Thanks for your interest in my music.

This is a lazy cliche ridden R&B tune I did for my kids. I used licks they were both using at their recent recitals and concerts. This one is just dumb fun with synths, trumpets and bass trumpets. |
