8245640352_3d65de52b2While searching through some of the better videos on Youtube, I can across an interesting idea. How would several trumpet ensembles compare when performing the same number and I selected Mr. Terry Everson’s composition “Idea Number Twenty-Four” for Trumpets as our test piece for it is extremely challenging and tests the ability of only the better players.

Our first recording was a studio recording done by the composer and his friends. This is our standard for this recording should and does give you the best possible performance.


Our next example is a live performance done by the Boston Trumpet Ensemble.

The next performance is by Jonathon Gregory and his NTC ensemble

University of Oklahoma trumpet ensemble

Finally we have a group from the University of North Texas Trumpet Ensemble

If you have a preference, let me know what you think.

Bruce was a member of the faculty at the University of Northern Iowa, School of Music in Cedar Falls from 1969 until his retirement in 1999. He has performed with many well-known entertainers such as Bob Hope, Jim Nabors, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, Anita Bryant, Carman Cavalara, Victor Borgie, the Four Freshman, Blackstone the Magician, Bobby Vinton and John Davidson.
