Great trumpet sound. This is the first time I have heard of this Japanese jazz composer. His style is reminiscent of the earlier jazz players like Louis Armstrong. I believe it is more susceptible for trumpeters as well as trombone players to come down with cancers as well as heart attack and strokes than that of a saxophone player who has to use less muscle strength for blowing the sounds out. If you love it it’s worth the time and this man thought it was his love to play the trumpet for himself as well as for others.
