Things to Come
-
I played 2nd trumpet on this piece as a freshman in college. It was a real stretch for me at the time.
-
Oh, boy, even 2nd trumpet would have been a killer for me.

I did not hear the announcement of the trumpet players, but isn't that first soloist Roy Hargrove?

Just found this review of this performance on another site:
Hargrove, Frank Greene, Tony Lujan and Diego Urcola were featured in the set's blistering trumpet extravaganza on "Things to Come."
So that was Hargrove. He is so distinctive... And I am sure, still is playing with Dizzy in the All Star Heavenly Big Band!

You know, the fist time I heard Wynton live was at Gilly's in Downtown Dayton. It was the week AFTER he was announced to have won the Grammy for Jazz and Classical music. His band on that venue included Ellis Marsalis on piano and Branford Marsalis on sax. The price for my ticket: $6.00! My how times have changed!

And again, my trumpet teacher for 18 of the months when I lived in NYC was a prior alumnus of the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, Claudio Roditi. The price Claudio charged me for an hour lesson... $20.00. Yes, my, how times have changed.
