Conejo "Pops" Orchestra with Elmer Ramsey and his trumpet performs music from some of the greatest artists of the big band era: Artie Shaw, Harry James, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Les Brown and Duke Ellington. Featured performers are Nancy Osborne and Ned Risken, vocalists, and Dan Geeting, clarinetist. Ramsey, a CLU professor emeritus of music, began playing trumpet professionally at the age of 14 and, three years later, had his own '40s-style big band on a Washington radio station. Many members of his orchestra are CLU alumni and have also performed with Harry James, Glenn Miller and Tex Beneke orchestras.

nice article Mari achi music tr ying to trumpet its return in Mexico City t

The future of jazz is in good hands. Thursday night's " Jazz at The Kessler with Arturo Sandoval " concert will indeed be special for 20 young musicians. Dallas-based jazz musician and trumpet player Freddie Jones wants to insure that the next generation of jazz players get all the nourishing experience they can right now. So Jones, an instructor and mentor who has quietly worked behind the scenes to turn on at-risk kids to the world of jazz music, including purchasing trumpets for them to play, will accompany these young musicians Thursday night to the Kessler Theater for Sandoval's show. But it gets better: Sandoval, a native of Cuba who has recorded more than 40 albums during his 35-year career, has agreed to speak to the kids. Source: Mario Tarradell
