Interesting Video

With all of the fine trumpet players in the world today, it is a challenge to decide which ones to feature. Making my decision this time was much easier for I have a vested interest in this gentleman.

His name is John Hess and he was kind enough to send me this video which he recorded/performed and produced using one of my arrangements.

Sometimes it’s nice to pat yourself on the back as long as you can control your ego.

I was very impressed with John’s credentials and I hope you enjoy his video. I know I did and I’m sure Bobby Vinton would also.
