Hi Cali trumpets!!! Hope you're having a safe, busy and great summer. Here's a little collaborative/distant virtual work that our wonderful staff accompanist, Ron Levy and I did this last week. And somehow.... this sweet, peaceful Gershwin is immediately followed by a performance I did a couple years ago of the Revueltas "Ochos por Radio". Not sure how to correct that!! Enjoy! Go Practice and Have Fun!!! See you in Fall!
