Main influences on trumpet are Miles Davis, Tom Brown, Eddie Henderson, Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro, Arturo Sandoval, Donald Byrd, Dizzy Gilespie, Jon Faddis, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Dorham, and Blue Mitchell, and of course Wynton Marsalis. I love listening to and playing jazz....really dig musicians who are able to showcase their talents without becoming a parody of what has come before.
