EDME’s instrumentation for this year’s NMF is flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, french horn, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, cello, double bass, voice, piano, percussion, and electronics. The ensemble will perform in myriad permutations across fourteen pieces and three shows. “Our concerts feature works designed for the ensemble members’ principal instruments, including everything from quiet sonic landscapes to exploratory performance art,” says Lempke.

'As soon as we recorded this, we all sat in the studio looking at each other smiling. We knew we had created something special with this one,' says Geoff Wilkinson. 'I already had the title 'Have A Great Day' when I gave Akil the track to write to, and he did a brilliant job of capturing the uplifting vibe of the music, as did the horn players Ed Jones (tenor sax) and Bryan Corbett (trumpet & valve trombone) on the outro. A lot of Us3 tracks have had a distinct Latin influence on previous albums, and this carries on that connection.'

Known for his outstanding talent and masterful playing of the trumpet, flugelhorn, and valve trombone, Gary was deeply committed to the craft and a fixture in the St. Louis jazz and big band scene since 1956. He performed at many venues around the St. Louis area and played across the U.S. and overseas, where he was celebrated for his outstanding range, improvisation skills, and dedication to traditional jazz and Big Band music. He was known for mentoring many young musicians and performed at numerous High Schools and Colleges.

The Canada musical instrument market is driven by continued demand for acoustic and electronic instruments. Trent University's Instrumental Music Pedagogy program provides teacher candidates with hands-on training in clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and percussion, including practical instruction on introducing these instruments in Grades 5–8 classrooms.

Led by veteran trumpeter Simon Wettenhall and Grammy winning pianist Conal Fowkes, The High Society New Orleans Jazz Band is a New Orleans-style group which for decades has served as Woody Allen’s band of choice in his movies, concert tours and other performances—including, on the silver screen, the celebrated Wild Man Blues, Sweet and Lowdown, Midnight in Paris, Blue Jasmine, Cafe Society, Magic In The Moonlight, and A Rainy Day In New York. Appearing on all the premiere concert stages of Europe and the United States, the group features Conal Fowkes (piano/vocals co-leader), Simon Wettenhall (trumpet/vocals co-leader), Tom Abbott (clarinet), Harvey Tibbs (trombone), Josh Dunn (banjo/guitar), Brian Nalepka (bass/vocals), and Kevin Dorn (drums). Catch them each Thursday at Birdland Theater.

Following them was the passionate trio LA LOM, an instrumental revelry developed from the grounds of Los Angeles. Zac Sokolow (guitar), Jake Faulkner (bass), and Nicholas Baker (drums/percussion) came out full of energy, jumping into a lively set. Though I wasn’t familiar with LA LOM before this concert, they’ve quickly made their way onto my playlists to energize me throughout my day. They played some of their classics like “ Angels Point,” “Alacrán,” and “Figueroa.” And though instrumental music can trip me up and blend together, LA LOM has a unique way of giving each song a vibe that is so distinct it transports you to the town and places you somewhere familiar. They performed a few songs with accompaniment of a saxophone, trumpet, and trombone player on stage.

Big Tony Fisher (bass), Allyson Johnson (keyboards), James Avery (keyboards), Tony Edwards (drums), Chris Allen (percussion), Larry Blake (percussion), Dean Harris (trumpet), Eric Silvan (saxophone), Paul Phifer (trombone), Derrick Ward (vocals), Keith White (vocals), David Gussom (guitar).

Chicago has toured every year since the band's founding, never missing a year. The group originated with founding members Robert Lamm (keyboards/vocals), Lee Loughnane (trumpet/vocals), and James Pankow (trombone). While Lamm and Pankow have stepped back from touring in recent years due to medical issues, Loughnane continues to perform with the band today. The current touring lineup also features Ray Herrmann (saxophone/flute), Wally Reyes Jr. (drums), Ramon 'Ray' Yslas (percussion), Nick Lane (trombone), Tony Obrohta (guitar), Eric Baines (bass/vocals), Carlos Murguía (keyboards/vocals), Justin Avery (keyboards/vocals), and newest member Rudy Cardenas as lead vocalist.

You know John Williams from the movies. But there's another side to America's most iconic living composer. Williams's Tuba Concerto is a revelation: rollicking, adventurous, and proof that the tuba can do things you never imagined. Nashville Symphony principal tubist Chandler Currier takes the spotlight. Around that centerpiece, the evening opens with Dobrinka Tabakova's Orpheus' Comet, a brilliant five-minute burst of energy rooted in a 400-year-old melody from Monteverdi's opera, and Smetana's The Moldau, a river journey through the Bohemian countryside written by a composer who was completely deaf. Smetana's compatriot Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 closes the program in pure sunshine: folk-inspired, bird-call melodies dancing through the orchestra with a festival of trumpet fanfare.

The CCSB is a volunteer concert band, and new members are always welcome and encouraged to join. The band is especially seeking trombone, trumpet and clarinet players.

Keith Brace (conductor), Jessica Bosak (piano/vocal director), Michael Kendrot (woodwinds), Phyllis Power (woodwinds), Doug Mandocha (trumpet), Colin Van Tuyl (trumpet), Joe Hinton (trombone), Dennis Raffelock (bass), Taro Okamoto (percussion) and Daniel Koontz (keyboard).

RABINS: When we say horn, we think of, like, a trumpet or maybe a trombone. But really, the original horns are the horns of animals.

It was a fair assumption. Morris took music classes at every school he attended, playing the trumpet, French horn and trombone when he wasn't singing. But as he grew older, he "didn't take music that seriously," he said, fixating instead on football as his future. Lucky for Boyz II Men fans, CAPA didn't have a team, so he joined the emerging group out of boredom.

The award-winning Hyssongs’ energetic ministry combines family vocal harmony, humor, and brass instruments (trumpet and trombone) to delight audiences with their Christ-centered message, shared through the powerful medium of music. The family’s classical music background, along with their harmony and specific chord structures, lend them a unique sound that has made quite an impact on audiences.

Composer, trumpeter, santur player, vocalist, and bandleader Amir ElSaffar has been described in the New York Times as 'the celebrated trumpeter and composer who explores vital connections between jazz and Arabic music.' A recipient of the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, US Artist Fellowship, and Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University, ElSaffar has earned an international reputation for his work combining jazz and western classical music with the microtonal Maqam music of Iraq and the Middle East. His six-piece Two Rivers ensemble and 17-piece Rivers of Sound orchestra, combining Western and Arabic instrumentation and musical languages, have released five critically acclaimed albums and have toured throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. ElSaffar has also composed numerous works for chamber ensembles, symphony orchestras, jazz and Middle Eastern music ensembles, and transcultural works for Flamenco, Gnawa, and Raga musicians. ElSaffar is an expert trumpeter conversant not only in the language of contemporary jazz, but has created new techniques to play microtones and ornaments idiomatic to Arabic music. He was a member of Cecil Taylor's large ensembles from 2002 to 2005, and has performed in the ensembles of Archie Shepp, Vijay Iyer, Danilo Perez, and Anthony Davis. Additionally, ElSaffar plays the santur (Iraqi hammered dulcimer) and sings, and is one of the few living performers of the centuries-old, now endangered, Iraqi maqam tradition. In 2001, after winning the Carmine Caruso Jazz Trumpet Competition, he funded a trip to Baghdad to find and study with the few surviving masters of the Iraqi Maqam, then spent five years pursuing these masters across the Middle East and Europe. Described as 'an imaginative bandleader, expanding the vocabulary of the trumpet and at the same time the modern jazz ensemble' (All About Jazz), ElSaffar is an important voice in an age of cross-cultural music making.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones are a powerhouse soul ensemble from Alabama known for their electrifying live shows and impassioned vocals. Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone). Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal—melding the band's adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like 'Sushi and Coca-Cola' and 'Going Back' reflect both personal introspection and the band's deepened identity after a decade of evolution. St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party.

“All of Prince's original recorded parts remain intact, with trombone, saxophone, and trumpet added by Greg Boyer, Adrian Crutchfield, and Lynn Grissett. These musicians had close ties to Prince and were credited on the album packaging, despite some claims to the contrary. Except for Calabama, no overdubs were used on any other recording for Timeless, posthumously. Of course, no Al was used on any Prince music.”

“All of Prince’s original recorded parts remain intact,” the statement added. “With trombone, saxophone, and trumpet added by Greg Boyer, Adrian Crutchfield, and Lynn Grissett.” All the musicians involved “had close ties to Prince” and the album packaging credited them.

Recording personnel on “The Usual Suspects” comprised Jah Wobble on bass, vocals and percussion, Marc Layton-Bennett on drums, percussion and backing vocals, Martin Chung on guitars, George King on keyboards and backing vocals, Steve Rigby on programming and backing vocals, Sean Corby on trumpet and flugelhorn, Aurora Dawn on vocals, and Holly Macve on vocals. Of the band behind the album, Wobble said: “This band has been a delight to play with. Similar to my first early ’80s version of the Invaders, they can all really play, plus all genre bases […] are covered. It’s a big deal to me, because it’s like a 35 year old dream has finally been realised. This is how I heard The Invaders of the Heart sound all those years ago. A classy fusion of genres. Groovy, dubby but always changing and developing. Never standing still.”

2026 also finds Gunn traveling through Europe with bassist Marcus Miller's all-star We Want Miles! band: Russell Gunn on trumpet, Bill Evans on sax, Mike Stern on guitar, Miller on bass, Mino Cinelu on percussion and Anwar Marshall on drums – celebrating the centennial of Miles Davis' birth. Gunn is holding down the chair of Davis himself – one of a select handful of trumpeters that inspired him, including Clifford Brown, Booker Little, Lee Morgan, Anthony Wiggins and Freddie Hubbard.

You're fairly unique in that few horn players so nimbly switch from trumpet to sax. How did that come about? Did you learn both at the same time?

The Sept. 20 Jazz Vespers program will feature the Jack Lantz Sextet (Lance Rickman, alto and tenor saxophones; Jeff Kaye, trumpet; Ido Meshulam, trombone; Zac Matthews, bass; Dave Marks, drums; and Jack Lantz on piano) improvising on a wide range of familiar hymns and gospel music, in swing style.

September 27 @ 5:30 PM: NewNeuNonet @ Birdland NYC, featuring Scott Wendholt (trumpet), Ben Kono (alto sax), Adam Kolker (tenor sax), Carl Maraghi (baritone sax), Bruce Arnold (guitar), Neal Kirkwood (piano), John Hebert (bass), Rob Garcia (drums)

The Billy Mohler Quartet was smokin’ when I stepped in to hear them as they were performing the last song of their set, “Evolution.” Prior to that, their fantastic set consisted of the tracks “Deconstructions,” “Adaption,” “Roundtrip,” and “Even Tide.” The Billy Mohler Band: Billy on bass, Julien Knowles-trumpet, Devin Daniels-alto sax, and Myles Martin-drums.

The trumpet wailed, the trombone moaned. I had the perfect front-row seat on the bridge, invisible, listening with every muscle in my body. I felt lucky to be passing by at exactly the right moment. She finished her song and moved on to something livelier as the crowd hooted and hollered. The fragile moment ended; I continued walking towards home, the music trailing behind me across the water.

Born into the legendary Carling Family musical dynasty, Carling was surrounded by music from an early age, picking up her first instrument before she could walk. Today, she is an accomplished performer on an astonishing array of instruments, including trombone, trumpet, recorder, ukulele, piano, harmonica, and bagpipes. Her performances combine virtuosic musicianship with showmanship, humor, and the theatrical flair that has made her a worldwide sensation.

The band consists of Joshua Turchin (arranger, keys and synth), Peter Douskalis (guitar and banjo), Betty Kean (reeds), Dan Harkins (trombone), Emmanuel Reyes (trumpet), and additional members to be announced soon.

"I was in fifth grade, and they had the instruments all set out, and you try a little bit on each one, and the band director tells you which one. Either which one he thinks you'll be best at or which one he needs more players in. But I remember trying really hard on the trumpet and the drums because that's really what I wanted to do. But he saw a skill in trombone, and I've been doing it ever since."

Choreographer is Monessa Salley. Music director is Carl Haan; the live band features Haan on main keys, Isaac Hunt Mingus on bass, Pablo Gil and Ryan Redden on reeds, Victor Mongillo on trumpet, Don Parker on trombone, and Aaron Nix on drums.

The German-born musician, who performs on trumpet and flugelhorn as well, composed music for German films and TV before emigrating to Los Angeles at the age of 29. Walden, who lives in Los Angeles, has served as trustee on the national board of the Recording Academy and past president of the American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers (ASMAC).

In addition to Mr. Lauro, members of the HooDoo Loungers include keyboard player and musical director David Deitch, lead vocalist Dawnette Darden, sax player Brian Sears, trombonist Ed Leone, trumpet player Gary Henderson, guitarist Michael Shiano, drummer Dave Giacone and vocalist Marvin Joshua. Filling in for Mr. Henderson at the July 23 concert will be trumpet player Baron Lewis.

According to Daniel Lanois, it was Peter Gabriel's dream to get the legendary Memphis Horns section to play on Sledgehammer, although he only ended up with the original trumpet player, Wayne Jackson, as his usual sax section member was busy on another session.

'By then, we were pretty well-versed with the material, and our chops were up,' said Brecker, who was just a few months shy of his 80th birthday at the time of this gig. 'Some of the tunes aren't easy, because they don't lay that well on the trumpet,' he added, noting that tunes featured on Michael Brecker's 1996's Tales from the Hudson and 2007's Pilgrimage were originally written for his tenor sax and Pat Metheny's guitar in mind. 'All in all, I fit in pretty well, and we bonded nicely together.'

The performers will be the Larry Panella Quintet, featuring Larry Panella on saxophone, Ashlin Parker on trumpet, Sam Bruton on piano, David Pellow on bass and Nathan Sanders on percussion. The group will perform arrangements of music connected to Davis and Coltrane as part of the tribute concert.

Bob Holz did not look back as he started his career as a musician playing for artists/bands until his clientele were of the legendary caliber like Grammy winning Peter Tosh (The Wailers) and Grammy nominated Eddie Money (“Baby Hold On To Me”). The “Silverthorne” project offers 10 tracks of original material that features seven-time Grammy winning Randy Brecker on trumpet and six-time Grammy nominated Mike Stern on guitar. In addition, he has support on the new project from Ralph Armstrong on bass; Grammy nominated Alex Acuna on percussion; Latin Grammy Award winning Brandon Fields on saxophone; Jamie Glaser on guitar; Ada Rovatti on saxophone; Grammy winning Billy Steinway on keyboards; Alex Machacck on guitar, and Andrew Ford on bass. Grammy nominated Dennis Moody (Diana Ross, Missy Elliot) mixed and recorded the album with Rob Stathis as producer.

“It All Started in Jane Alley: Louis Armstrong in New Orleans,” is the newest permanent exhibit. Born in 1901, Armstrong was raised by a single mother in Jane Alley, one of the poorest neighborhoods in New Orleans. He rose to international fame as a trumpet player nicknamed Satchmo, but before he picked up the trumpet, he played the cornet at the Colored Waif’s Home for Boys, a juvenile detention center that had a brass band. The instrument is on view next to a bust of its player.

JM: Eric and Cream - I was really happy for them, because they really made it big. But if you talk to Eric about Jack and Ginger, he will tell you it was too intense. A little too intense for me as well, but very provocative. And I like to be provoked on stage. So, Jack came in on Tony Williams Lifetime which took on a new dimension with Jack playing bass and singing. Tony had me writing music all the time and I could say quite safely that a lot of the work and the music of my mission had roots in Lifetime. Miles told me to get involved with his band for the Jack Johnson Sessions and Billy Cobham knocked me out. You know the opening tune right off. That's the tune that started the whole thing because Miles was in the control room with Teo Macero. There was Michael Henderson playing bass. Herbie Hancock was playing this Farfisa organ-really far out. Steve Grossman was playing saxophone. Bennie Maupin was the guy playing bass clarinet. I was getting bored, and I had been working on this thing and I thought, well, I just wanna boogie. So, I started playing, using these strange changes that I've been fooling around with. Billy picked it up. Michael Henderson picked it up. And we hit a groove. Within a minute Miles heard what we were doing, he ran into the studio with his trumpet and proceeded to play the most amazing licks. It was such a trip because it was totally spontaneous, and some of the harmonies I was using eventually became “The Dance Of Maya”.So, you can see the link there. You know, I was coming from Tony through Miles and eventually into Mahavishnu, but more developed. I had a chance to develop all my ideas with Mahavishnu. But it was wonderful to work with Miles because he was a real master in the studio. I got to know him pretty well by hanging out with him. He had some sketches, you know, but he was looking to find the right groove. But he didn't really know what it was or how to get it, so it was an experiment. He said count off a beat and we start playing and then he talked to the bass player and just said, “Play more space”. And then came up to me and said, “Let me hear the Waka chew.” Ha Ha it was beautiful. And then sometimes he stopped the drummer and said “Boom, boom, bat”. You know the most obscure instructions you've ever heard in your life. But we settled into a groove, and as soon as he liked it, then he would start playing. This is how the album developed. Because he didn't know what he wanted, but he knew what he didn't want.

I really need to take the time to shine a light on the music itself. Although Scott Brons is credited as the Music Director and the Conductor/Keys, the program says that the role of the latter was held by Eliot Hinsen for the matinee that I attended. With that being said, he did an excellent job. With a live orchestra off to the side, he guided his fellow musicians and the performers beautifully. His fellow musicians included David Weinstein on drums, Rebecca Dillon on drums, Max Dvorin on Reeds, and Sam Merrill on trumpet. Of course, I need to shine a special light on the Fiddler herself, Elizabeth Schenck. She brought charm and energy to the role both onstage and within the orchestra. The audience lit up whenever she appeared onstage.

The third track on the record, 'All I See is Sky' establishes the transcendent world building seen across the album's production and lyrics. A song about looking for and losing faith, Joffe sings 'I'm searching for a God, but all I see is a sky.' It is followed by 'End of The World', the centerpiece of the record: timpani, trumpet, whispers, and walls of guitar bloom around Joffe's voice as she declares, 'The end of the world is stale and new / With rotten old men in shiny cars and suits… They're smoking cigars while we decompose.'

Widely regarded as one of the greatest orchestral trumpet players of his generation, Smith brings a remarkable legacy spanning nearly five decades of performance, teaching, and artistic leadership. He served for 36 years with the New York Philharmonic, being appointed Co-Principal Trumpet by Zubin Mehta, and then Principal Trumpet, The Paula Levin Chair.

In this case, one of those ingredients was the trumpet player: Herb Alpert. Another was the repeating Janet vocal, created through a sampled harmony. Little details buried inside a song you may have heard for decades. Jam had a name for what happens once you learn they're there: "Informed listening."

The first movement, the funeral march, started a tad sluggish and underpowered. The trumpet's opening fanfare was clean enough, but the orchestra's response felt cautious, with the weight of the procession a little short of the crushing inevitability the music demands. For a few minutes one wondered whether the hall, or the occasion, was weighing on the ensemble. Then something shifted. The strings dug in, the brass found their ring, and by the time the movement lurched into its first great outburst of grief and rage, the performance had caught fire. From there it never let up.

The five piece orchestra features Andy Warren on trumpet and serving as music director; Grammy Award winner Paul Francis on drums; Grammy-nominated Stan Killian on saxophone; Peter Brendler on bass; and Antongiulio Foti on piano. Choreography is by Andrea Bodine. Brooke Schulte and Shanley O'Brien are the show's dancers.

Adams grew up in Southwest Detroit, attending Henry Ford High School. He started out perfecting his trumpet-playing in ninth grade, after being recruited to play in the marching band, first on baritone horn, then on trumpet.

The arrangements were crafted by Tamir Hendelman and influenced by Karrant's artistic perspective, honoring Schuur's legacy while showcasing Karrant's dynamic voice, unique creativity, and contemporary interpretation of the songs. The album brings together an all-star ensemble of musicians, including Tamir Hendelman (piano), Graham Dechter (guitar), Alex Frank (bass), Kevin Kanner (drums), Joe Bagg (organ), Kye Palmer (trumpet), and Ricky Woodard (saxophone).

Friday, September 11, 7 p.m., Medicine for Nightmares: This week Other Dimensions in Sound will be, as usual, hosted by Boohaabian multi reed player extraordinaire David Boyce. The entire evening will be a quartet performance. All four performers are likely to be familiar to those following this site regularly: Larry Ochs (saxophone), Darren Johnston (trumpet), Lisa Mezzacappa (bass), and Ben Davis (cello). The venue is located in the Mission at 3036 24th Street, between Treat Avenue and Harrison Street. As always, there is no charge for admission, presumably to encourage visitors to consider buying a book.

Acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator Miles Donahue brings decades of adventurous, genre-crossing jazz to an intimate afternoon performance. Equally at home on trumpet, saxophone and keyboards, Donahue has performed and recorded with artists including Jerry Bergonzi, Joe Lovano, Kenny Werner and Mike Stern.

Willie Colón’s Gitana was a good test of what these earphones can do. The percussion played in my right ear, the trumpet in the left, and his sharp vocals floated in the middle. Every channel stayed in harmony throughout, coming together as if I were listening to the salsa musician perform in a studio. The Live Beam 4 does justice to the highs and lows as they were recorded, without letting either overpower the experience.

We think these deaths are much loved. Solid brass, badass trumpet player, the late Steve Setser. We miss him. That guy was one of a kind. And Chris Anderson, a longtime friend of the band, played percussion with us a lot. And then that circle started to grow. As we were talking about this, we thought of Gypsy and Vernon Daniels and Annie Apple, who passed so tragically in a car accident when we were all young, and it really sent a shockwave through the community and the music scene at the time. That's right. And we thought of Porky Hill and, and who else?

Born in North Carolina, David Charles Abell studied viola, trumpet, piano, organ, and composition, turning his attention to conducting at age 14. He subsequently studied with Leonard Bernstein and Nadia Boulanger, earning degrees from Yale University and The Juilliard School. He has worked with distinguished artists including Bryn Terfel, Simon Keenlyside, Diana Damrau, Stephen Hough, Judi Dench, Emma Thompson, Lea Salonga, Idina Menzel, Heather Headley, Petula Clark, Josh Groban, Matthew Morrison, Michael Ball, and Michael Feinstein. The many international orchestras he has conducted include the London Symphony, BBC Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Wiener Symphoniker, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestre National de Lyon, Prague Philharmonia, Atlanta Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Iceland Symphony, and Boston Pops. Abell’s television and radio appearances encompass a wide repertoire, from Johann Strauss (with the period-instrument Wiener Akademie) to the launch of the Ten Pieces classical music education project with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Three of his five appearances at the BBC Proms were televised: the Richard Rodgers Centenary, Sondheim at 80, and the War Horse Prom in 2014. His particular affinity with the operatic repertoire has attracted repeat engagements with Cincinnati Opera and Lyric Opera of Kansas City as well as guest appearances with Opera Philadelphia, Michigan Opera Theatre, Atlanta Opera, Hawaii Opera Theatre, Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, and many others. Considered one of the top international conductors of musical theatre, he led the French premieres of four Stephen Sondheim musicals and conducted the Les Misérables tenth and twenty-fifth-anniversary concerts. For the centennial of his mentor Leonard Bernstein, Abell conducted Songfest and the Serenade with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, West Side Story at Glimmerglass and Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and three concerts of Bernstein’s theater music with the Philly POPS. Recordings include excerpts from La Bohème and Madama Butterfly, Something’s Gotta Give (with Simon Keenlyside), Jonathan Dove’s opera Tobias and the Angel, and complete recordings of Miss Saigon and Man of La Mancha. Forever (with soprano Diana Damrau).

He added that the orchestra was still recruiting and membership was open to all. The lead trumpet player, Moises Lugo, is a Venezuelan. There are also two female Russian alto saxophonists - Alina Abban and llmira Abzgildina - in the fold.

In his first engagement of the season, Gaffigan conducts the National Symphony Orchestra at Wolf Trap's Filene Center in the World Premiere of Wynton Marsalis's Symphony No. 5 “Liberty.” The orchestra will be joined in this performance by Marsalis himself on trumpet, along with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), where he serves as Artistic Director. Co-commissioned in honor of America250 by the NSO, Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, and others, the new work blends jazz, blues, and orchestral sounds in a rousing celebration of the American story. The World Premiere marks one of the early highlights of Marsalis's final season as Artistic Director of the JLCO.

At times the interplay between musicians up and down the Pan American highway becomes like a game of ping-pong. San Antonio is connected to Mexico City by that historic highway, travelled by Jack Kerouac in “On the Road,” and numerous orchestral musicians who made substantial careers playing in the Orquesta Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico (OSEM). Case in point, Chuck Berginc, formerly a trumpet player in the San Antonio Symphony, took the position of principal trumpet in the OSEM. Soon after he arrived in Toluca (highest city in North America, by the way), the orchestra made a recording of Rodrigo's “Fantasia para un gentilhombre” with soloist Alfonso Moreno. The conductor was Enrique Batiz.
