The trumpets have been coming out in force locally. M ention of avoiding jazz solos lead me towards this mix of jazz improvisation and classical. I’ll toss in the parking lot quintet just for good measure.

Aw, now you’re making me sad. I miss playing with my colleagues. We’ve got a big weekly trumpet Zoom happy hour planned for tonight, but it’s not the same. We have a symphony concert coming up in May, but I seriously doubt it will happen.
I’ll have to take some time to listen to the concerto. Great playing. Thanks!

It’s the very least I could do to lighten the mark against my name if the compressed air trumpet guns somehow happen.
Actually you’ve rekindled my interest in trumpet pieces. That and I j ust happened to be on the MO site today where they were promoting this performance. Germany all but bolted the door for another year and a half while we are still only conceding May and June.

Check out Eric Aubier.
I don’t know anybody who plays the French rep better. He brings the perfect blend of precision and bravado.

Thank you, certainly going to track down a copy of that excellent release
A few recordings by Timofey Dokshizer have been my go to. He was also a quite good composer of music for his instrument.

Another fantastic “ethnic” player. Nobody plays Russian or Central European trumpet music like he did. His recording of the Arutunian concerto is pretty much the gold standard.
Here is one of the greatest trumpet players you’ve never heard of, George Rock. He played for the inimitable Spike Jones, who is seen playing drums on this performance. All of the players in Spike Jones’ City Slickers were remarkable. Many of the arrangements were wicked hard.
And then there’s this. It’s a really funky, living room party album from 1968. My last teacher, the late Ray Crisara, is playing the solo at the beginning of track 9 For Me ( 21:18 - 23:43 ). Mr. Crisara was the first call studio trumpet player from the 5 0s through the 70s in NYC . The music is cheesy, but there’s some really great playing on it, particularly the brass. The piccolo trumpet solos are played by another famous studio player, Marvin Stamm.

Ethnic is a very good way of putting results of strictures placed upon Soviet era musicians and their repertoire. This far North his internal thoughts being expressed are relevant during short low light days brimmed with oppressively deep cold. About the exact opposite of Texas where making your kids play outside during Summer is a form of abuse.
Thanks again for humoring my amateur interest with such well vetted suggestions.
