Based in Lancaster, PA, I am a freelance trumpeter and keyboard player. As a soloist, I'll be the first to admit that my plagiarism is limited only by my faulty technique. But I've been very fortunate to meet and work with so many wonderful and talented people. Most frequently, you'll find me gigging with one of the following groups:
Robin spent some time at Abbeyville Road recording studio with good friend James Easton. Robin plays trumpet on "Hornucopia," on the mp3 player, and flugelhorn on a jazz waltz written by James, called "Sunday Morning News," which is also posted here. Abbeyville Road Studio is an excellent facility, with top-notch equipment, a comfortable, relaxed environment, and the finely-tuned ears of Mr. Easton. Highly recommended for your next project!

Man o man ! You are all getting better and better. It is amazing what all that talent together can do on the stage. I of course loved the Jazz'd theme...lol One big mistake in my eye was not having you blowing away the lead part on Cantaloop...I'd pay to hear that done with your band...my way...lol Jen sounded awesome as well on the Jazz songs...We truly enjoyed it, and my older friend.. Dick Strunk a seasoned trumpet player was going nuts with excitement in what he was hearing...GREAT JOB golden chops !!
