Four great trumpets, Brian MacDonald played lead, Ashley Hall played second, Melton Mustafa played jazz and Dennis Noday played the fourth chair. Brian is playing with the U.S. Air Force band, Ashley has been touring with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Melton worked with Count Basie and Dennis worked with Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich and Maynard. We backed Toni Tennille and she loved the trumpet section (her dad played trumpet)and told them it was the best group of players she had worked with in ages.
Dick: I am flabbergasted, thanks ever so much, I am impressed and deeply grateful. Your band is fantastic. I've heard so many renditions of my music that I was disappointed in. I wish to profusely thank you for the many you-tube numbers that you have sent to me. They were fun listening to, but by far the best were from your band. I can't thank you enough.
We are going to play this in my high school Jazz band this year...Can't wait!!!
