“A whole bag o' mutes...”Trumpeter Ron Horton and I go back 43 years- when we were fresh out of college, dipping our toes into the world of adulthood, and living the bohemian life in funky Washington, DC, amid the birth of the “Me Generation” and the Reagan Era. Immersing ourselves in everything from hard bop to avant-garde jazz, we were part of a local scene that was to propel each of our futures as musicians. After making the intimidating leap to the New York City of the early 80s, Ron’s trajectory led him to solidify his instantly identifiable warm, lyrical playing, as a co-founding member of NYC’s important “Jazz Composer’s Collective” in the 1990s. He subsequently became a busy composer and arranger, and has recorded numerous albums as both sideman and under his own name.

And, oh yeah, we discuss in depth his creation of those beautiful trio clips...
