This is one for fans of extreme trumpet playing! Some of the world’s great virtuosi, several live, indulging in severe, gratuitous lip abuse playing the death defying Carvival of Venice & variations. For those of you looking forward to a Carnival of Venice day, you could do worse than start here…
Al Hirt was the first trumpeter I ever heard as a young child. My Mom had a few of his albums. When I finally got a trumpet, I’d try play along with him. Love all these guys and Carnival!
