Happy Labor Day weekend to all!
Keegiam I like big bands and That Towson State big band is very good indeed.
Frogman and acman great Tom Hagen. Another great trumpet player that is relatively unknown except to us aficionados.
The recently discussed Tom Harrell, along with Kenny Wheeler are two really great trumpet players as well as composers who never achieved widespread recognition like Satchmo, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan and Maynard.....well you aficionados know the rest of this list.
I had heard of Hagen but was not aware of his exceptional talent as a trumpet player/composer/arranger until today and I will be purchasing some of his discs to add to my collection.
Tom Hagen is right up there with Harrell and Wheeler in the "greatest unknown trumpet players" list.
