St. Louis is fortunate enough to have this tour stop by! Holly, MI's Roxanne Jean Polise has just released the Changing Light Patterns of the Underwater Forest 3" on Chondritic Sound. The creeping sound of RJP will tantalize those in hopes of a zombie feast. Crunch on bones, pray for tones, take out loans, your soul they'll own. Will Soderberg has a slew of releases under his belt for those willing to plunge into their wallets. Royal Oak, MI's Hobert Europe delivers some of the finest breakbeats and enough uh-uh-uh to take you to your grave. Surgical precision matched by sledgehammer blows of unrelenting power.

(edited to fix the photo caption 7/26/05)
"The Festival of New Trumpet Music is, for me, a chance to hear many facets of contemporary trumpet music, regardless of style. This festival disproves the idea that there are only two kinds of trumpet players, inside and outside. In fact, this festival demonstrates the explosion of unique visions that currently coexist. FONT Music encourages each trumpeter to explore their own point of view and to be truly 'themselves.'All in all, August sounds like a fine month to be a trumpet fan - or a trumpet player - in New York City, and it's always good to see St. Louis players in the mix and Bowie's contribution to the music being recognized.
"In this way we feel that this festival is a celebration of the many ways forward in music. From a week-long celebration of Lester Bowie at the Jazz Standard, to an indescribable series at Tonic, to a week of new and emerging trumpeter/bandleaders at Spark, to a week of seminars and concert music at Yamaha, culminating in a one-of-a-kind final concert with conductor and cornetist Butch Morris leading improvisations by an ensemble of many of today's most adventurous, engaging and controversial trumpeters."
