This guy is monster! He's a very humble musician and always learning and getting better. If you think this is good, you should hear him play now! He's an awesome person to study with as well. Great job John

I'm playing this song for Solo and Ensemble in March and I absolutely love this recording of it. Perfect!

Almost flawless performance of this very testing concerto. Congratulations John. You clearly have an awesome technique. The orchestra's work was tight and precise and most sensitive in the gorgeous slow movement. This is a performance for other young trumpeters to aspire to. Love it!
