Good looking, young blond guy with a good range and sound. Plays a kind of 
easy jazz with a small group of a keyboard player, a drummer and a bass 
player....Maybe another guitar too....I forget. He uses electronic 
enhancement when he plays....A clip-on mike and a little echo added. I'd 
call him a kind of Yani of the trumpet, except that I think he's a better 
musician than Yani....He really plays the trumpet well. He's got a couple of 
CD's out......
