I was surprised to see such a significant change in personnel in the trumpet section after the band had been so settled for so long. What caused the departure of the three guys, Earl, Joe Mosello and Glenn Drewes?

[trane1959]

I know the story and it begins and ends with John Mosca being an ass.

[rockin3b]

@trane1959 Mosca is a lazy Marxist traitor-- and an average pro

[trane1959]

by the way, just saying, but 2:15-2:24 is all wrong.

[casummers]

by the way, the lead notes are in the second trumpet part for that stretch. nick nailed the lead part to the wall.

[mingusmonk0]

I agree, bring back Earl. Besides Snooky and Porcino, I think he was the best lead player the band has ever had. I never liked the way the modern band plays cherry juice though. I feel it's just too fast to sink in. The new life recording is great. But the "Naturally" and "Definitave Thad Jones" are just a fury.

[taconip]

I agree about this version being to fast, I heard the new life version and I thought it the best tune ever, and the shout section was just the tits. At this speed it all just flies by.

Frank Basile - you are the man!!! Going check you out with Richie Vitalie at Smalls on the 1st. Good luck and love your CD.

[rockin3b]

@trane1959 Shame to see a young talent like him in a dead in gig-- maybe he should sell stock-- a real job

[stpd1957]

I would love to see them live. I have all of their records. Thad and Mel live on.

[ThirdValve]

Best thing going on the east coast. Great section work by the trumpets - Nick Marchione (lead trumpet) is a *monsterous* player. Beautiful - tasty, always 'in tune', big fat juicy lead sound. Incredible.
