Mostly Trumpet
Posted in DefaultTag on Aug 28th, 2011 Comments
Trumpet reigns supreme in this podcast. We hear from some great trumpet players across many generations. We begin by featuring Josh Evans from his first recording as a leader, and as a sideman on others. Then we hear some classic jazz horn playing from the likes of Donald Byrd, Woody Shaw (w/Larry Young) and the great Miles Davis. The trumpet set concludes with Ambrose Akinmusire, Avishai Cohen and Sean Jones. The podcast concludes with a tribute album to the late Melvin Sparks from Sparkplug led by ex-Sparks sidemen Beau Sasser B3 and Bill Carbone drums and featuring guitarist Ryan Hommell.
