Tom Harrell and Philippe Catherine

Original Blog post at: http://jazztrumpetlicks.com/2009/04/tom-harrell-and-philippe-catherine/

This is my first post for JazzTrumpetLicks.com. What better way to start it off than with a great Jazz trumpet video of Tom Harrell playing with Philippe Catherine. This Jazz trumpet video displays one of my favorite trumpet solos of Tom Harrell. Though I have many favorite trumpet solos of Tom Harrell, this particular trumpet solo is a very relaxing one. You can hear how Tom Harrell uses a lot of pentatonics in the solo. This is partly due to the fact that Tom Harrell is a big pentatonic player to begin with.

Just for your information, the performance took place back in 2003.
