Jon Nelson

"...Like Miles Davis without a band..."

Rusty Pipes, Cosmic Debris

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"The playing is superb. The Berio is a knockout."

Mark Gould

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"There is not a lot of modern music written for trumpet

and Jon Nelson seems to have cornered a lot of it here

with superb pieces by Berio, Feldman and especially

the title piece by Stephen Barber in five movements,

evoking Mexican folklore and Frank Zappa."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Besides having an always-solid tone that can range from warm

and mellow to sharp and incisive, Nelson has uncanny accuracy

in the wildest of passages, and a superior high register.

His supporting cast is excellent as well."

Barry Kilpatrick, American Record Guide
