Geoff Gallante Plays Stardust

Geoff Gallante plays 'Stardust' with the Plano Community Band, November 5, 2011
Geoff demonstrates his affinity for playing tender ballads...here he renders the Hoagy Carmichael classic "Stardust' with a warmth and sensitivity that is extraordinary for a boy his age. Geoff is accompanied by our very own Plano (TX) Community Band, with Jim Carter conducting. And how proud we are to have collaborated with such a fine young talent as Geoff. We enjoyed having him here with us this past November.

I was about twelve when I first learned to play Stardust. 53 years later, I still don't play it with as much class, ease and style as this.

Hey Geoff. You sure have the gift! GOD Bless you!!! Im a jazz player and trumpet collector and consultant. This was one of the best versions if not the best of this song ive heard as far as tone and feeling! Im a huge Chet Baker fan. Check him playing Arborway on youtube and one called Beatrice. Watch all the greats and they sure inspired me! Doc Severinsen, Al Hirt, Harry James, the greatest.... Raphael Mendez and Timofei Dokshizer on youtube and of course Arturo Sandoval. Youre Great!
