Indicitive of his talent is the fact that he is the first trumpeter since the beginning of the Melody Makers readers pell to take the title of Worlds Top Tr.umpeter from the Louis Armstrong..

Among these are the albums : Kind of Blue Columbia CL-1355 Legrand Jazz - Columbia CL-1250 Collector's Item - Prestige PR-7044 Porgy & Bass - Columbia CL-1274 and many more.
