Hammerstein, he had a social conscience. and I must say that Marsalis, as good as he is, cannot hold a candle to the other fella when playing "carnival of venice"-

his fluency with his horn cannot be denied.

which virtuoso trumpet piece do you prefer-
carnival of venice
or
bugler's holiday?

gosh, if I had only known about Gerard Hoffnung earlier :o such a pity - a man so ahead of his time - that his life was so cruelly cut so short. otherwise he would be at least as well known as pete schickele. I cannot choose between them as both tickled me.
