“I go down to New York, do the project, and leave. I have no interest in participating in the rat race down there. Hip jazz fans know who I am.

“I don't really have a career as a jazz musician. I don't really have a career as a classical musician. I don't really have a career as a college professor, and yet I did all those things and I did them well. I put out some records in the 1980's and 1990's that changed the way some trumpet players played.” WayWellsCareersRecordsPlayerChangedCollegeMusicianJazzProfessorsClassical MusicJazz MusicTrumpetsJazz MusicianClassical MusiciansCollege Professors Author:Paul Smoker
