Ricardo Esquilin
I've been taking trumpet seriously for about 5 years now. I've slightly put lead trumpet playing aside for jazz, which I've been studying for a little over 2 years at Broward College in South Florida. After I heard Clifford Brown my world changed.

I know I missed some notes, but oh well, sue me.

  • I like his trumpet at the end of the vid. What model is that I wonder?

  • I'm 12 and he's tons better than me... but I'll practice every day and one day when I get older I'll be as good as him!!

  • Watching this made me remember for two years of my life I was taught by the best. It also made me realize how much I miss my mentor and my friend. Hope all is going well for you Ricardo.
