East West Trumpet Summit: Coast to Coast

Trumpet players Ray Vega and Thomas Marriott bring back their East West Trumpet Summit (New York - Seattle) for a third edition (2010, 2016). Unlike dual (often dueling) tenors, two trumpets sharing the frontline in a quintet is an unusual format, but in the hands of these pros, a productive one. Long-time friends, these players make more music than sparks as they move through a diverse playlist that ranges from Neil Hefti (Girl Talk) to Don Cherry (Art Deco). Charles Mingus's So Long Eric gives the players an opportunity for explore their very different sounds on the trumpet. Sweet.
