Sometimes it is a struggle....

This is what a real trumpet player sounds like.  This is Wayne Burgeron playing with The River City Big Band.  I went to see them on Saturday.  It was depressing - they make it look so easy. But it sure isn't.  Even Mr. Missal thought that he should hang up his trumpet after hearing Wayne Burgeron play.  Mr. Burgeron has played on lots of different albums and for movies. How cool is it to hear him play and to hear Mr. Missal play with him.

His wikkipedia page says:

 Wayne Bergeron (born January 16, 1958) is an American jazz musician and trumpet player who rose to fame in the mid 1980s after playing lead trumpet in Maynard Ferguson's band. He is notable for his consistency and ability in the upper register of the instrument, some of which is highlighted in his scream trumpet work in the soundtrack of The Incredibles. He is a prominent session musician, with his playing featured on hundreds of motion picture soundtracks, and he has collaborated with many mainstream musicians.
