    author: Clay Thomas

    I like this CD because it plays to the general public. Most fancy trumpet players are like EGO freaks, and although Kasperitis has the genuine ability to play fancy-ass high notes and such, he still choses to play from the heart and for his audience. I purchased this CD because I had heard also that Mr. Kasperitis was not only a good entertainer, but a magnificant teacher.

    author: Jimmy Knowles

    Brian Kasperitis has a keen style of trumpet playing. I see him as the "George Thorogood of the Horn." Louis Armstrong would have loved this guy!
