Trumpet Love, Part 3: Videos!
It's nice to write about this music. It's even nice to hear it. But seeing it live is where it's at. While ALL of the musicians from the first two posts have extremely active performance schedules, today in 2008 you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own browser any time you want. Here now, trumpet videos.
Before you do anything, please watch Toshinori Kondo in his element circa 1995 with Die Like a Dog Quartet. It is pretty mindblowing stuff (and embedding has been disabled by request). Don't worry, it's only a click away. Do come back, though, you won't want to miss the rest.
Peter Evans with Chris Dadge and Scott Munro:
Tom Djll with Biggi Vinkeloe, Damon Smith Jerome Bryerton
Greg Kelley by himself:
I had to edit these audition videos into something "viral" for a pitch by an ad agency. It starts with a guy playing a piano while playing the trumpet. Not sure who he is, but he's pretty incredible.
