> */About our special guests:/* 
>
> Grammy®-winner* Randy Brecker* has been shaping the sound of Jazz, R & 
> B and Rock for more than three decades. In addition to his own 
> recordings (including the recent “Some Skunk Funk” in collaboration 
> with his late brother, saxophonist Michael Brecker), Randy’s trumpet 
> and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide 
> range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Chaka Khan, 
> George Benson and Parliament-Funkadelics to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, 
> David Sanborn, Horace Silver, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa.     
>
> *Tom Harrell* was born in Urbana and began playing the trumpet at age 
> eight. He soon moved to the San Francisco Bay area and was gigging 
> with local bands by age 13.  The /Los Angeles Times/ wrote about Tom, 
> “What Harrell [does] is spin out improvisational lines filled with 
> instant melodies. Like a lyricist who illuminates phrases with subtle 
> internal rhymes, Harrell's soloing captivates both the hearts and the 
> minds of his listeners."
>
> A consummate fixture on the New York jazz scene, *Lew Soloff*’s career 
> is filled with a rich history of renowned sessions and world-class 
> collaborations.  From the time he eased into the East Coast world of 
> trend-setting musicians in the mid 1960’s, Soloff’s creative ventures 
> have resulted in a respected body of work that places him in a 
> category of true accomplishment and keeps his elegant and lyrical 
> signatures in constant demand. 
>
> *Terell Stafford* has been hailed as "one of the great players of our 
> time, a fabulous trumpet player" by piano legend McCoy Tyner. Known 
> for being a gifted and versatile player with a voice all his own, 
> Stafford combines lyricism and a deep love of melody with a spirited, 
> adventurous edge. An educator as well as a performer, Stafford 
> currently holds the positions of Professor of Music and Director of 
> Jazz Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia and is a clinician 
> for the prestigious Vail Foundation in Colorado and Jazz at Lincoln 
> Center's /Essentially Ellington/ program.
>
> “To stand on the same stage and play trumpet with my great friends and 
> colleagues – Randy, Tom, Lew and Terell – is a privilege and a 
> thrill,” said Jon Faddis. “While we all have our different styles, we 
> are looking forward to this special opportunity to play together. Each 
> guest is bringing his own arrangements, and the concert is going to be 
> a blast.” Tickets for /A Triumph of Trumpets/ are $45, $35, $20 and 
> $15 with a 10% discount to senior citizens and students and a 20% 
> discount to groups of 10 or more.* *
