Yes, he plays with Vince, sometimes with Independence Hall, with Gully Low
at Birdland, usually at Ascona, tours Europe, etc., etc. He is one of the
most sought after OKOM trumpet players in the world and band leaders
everywhere try and book him on important gigs.

Not only that, but he is a genuine nice guy and a pleasure to smoke a cigar
with between sets while enjoying a snifter of Cognac and conversation.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
