This is my dear friend John Trombetta. When we met 10 years ago, I mentioned to him it was Clifford Brown's music that sparked my love for jazz. John then told me it was Clifford who inspired him to start playing the trumpet. That, along with his politically liberal attitude, gentle nature, and his intelligent and playful sense of humor, made me like him right away.
Unfortunately we don't get to spend enough time together; he's usually teaching, touring with Aretha Franklin, or blowin' his horn on Broadway for "The Lion King."
