“There was a time, in my early 20s, when I picked up the trumpet and said, 'I've got to change what I'm doing.' I wasn't putting enough air through the horn. The tone I wanted was bigger than what I had. I was out of control.” SaidEnoughWantedAirBiggerTechniqueToneHornsTrumpetsEarly 20s Author:Paul Smoker
“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
