Thanks,Aurora. This man's playing is awesome. It is enough to give one more of an appreciation for the trumpet. The saxophone gets so much glory and the trumpet is probably underrated. Thanks,again. God bless.:-)

I was fortunate enough to grow up with Louis Armstrong&Freddie Hubbard's music.

I might get static for saying this,being a non Christian and all ,but it ain't the saxophone that Gabriel's going to blow!

ha ha
