Mr. Paul VonAdam

I have know Paul for more than 10 years and have had contact with him in many areas which includes being a close friend, a fellow musician. Paul and his wife Carol are two of the nicest individuals my wife and I have know since moving to the Branson area.

As a performer, there are few equals in the trumpet field. Paul has performed with the finest musicians who include members of the most well known big bands as well as theater performances throughout the United States as well as Canada. I have had the pleasure of performing with him on numerous occasions and in my opinion, Paul is one of the finest lead trumpet players I have ever worked with. In addition to his superb lead trumpet ability, Paul is also gifted as a solo player which is unusual in trumpet circles. Wherever Paul is positioned in an ensemble, you are assured that his part will be executed at the highest level of professionalism.

Enjoy this performance with the Andy Williams Orchestra in Branson.
