Lots of good stuff on this one

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'd like to get my hands on several of these pieces but they're hard to find. I'm a professional trumpet player, but I think most people would enjoy these highly accessible works. The McKinley is a fun piece if you have a bassoonist and the Gould is a gem. My personal fave is the Carbon for sheer originality and beauty of melody and harmony. Actually, they're all good pieces. Give this one a try!"

Important new concerto

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album contains a wonderful new trumpet concerto by John Carbon, which has an Impressionistic/Spanish cast . The trumpet writing and the performance are both outstanding and should be an essential part of any trumpet player's recording collection. Great for the general listener as well."

Fun CD

"I like this recording because it has lots of different types of songs on it. I like the McKinley one and the Gould and especially Carbon because it has a Spanish sound to it. I like Spanish composers. Jeff Silberschlag's tone is better in the upper register, but he's def a player!"
