Whenever  I need to do some sound "modeling" - and when I want to also enjoy 
the beauty  of our instrument and all its expressiveness - I pull out Leon 
Merian's CD. I  think that his cover of "Nature Boy" is a classic example of a 
beautiful,  singing style. His "When You Wish upon A Star"and "When I Fall In 
Love" are  also just pure, expressive beauty.

I think that Leon Merian is simply a  living trumpet treasure.

I have always tried to emulate the sound of people whose work I  admire.  I 
wish I had more opportunities to hear people live, but good  recordings are the 
next best thing.
