Also, may I extend my thanks to the very fine concert band behind you. They did a beautiful job backing you up on this wonderful piece of music. Ode for tumpet captures so much emotion and is ever so moving.. We can all thank Alfred Reed for writing this for Don...who for whom so many had great admiration.
I heard Don Jacoby, CBS studio orchestra, for whom this song was written, perform this at the Everett Civic auditorium in 1962. Years later I played this as my final exit from the US Navy School of music. I finally got to meet and speak with Jacoby in Las Vegas and told him how I admired his playing all my life. He has passed on but, thanks for putting this video out. .Don's bigest thing was proper breathing and support which allowes for great projection. He ranks with the greatest ever!
