专辑简介

Brian Hunter is an upstart jazz trumpeter from Columbia, SC. His sound is influenced by great trumpeters like Miles Davis, Herb Alpert, Dizzy Gillespie, and Christian Scott. His musical roots started in Hampton, VA when at the age of 10, he began taking piano lessons from the late and great Myrtle Taylor; the trumpet was also embraced around this timeframe. Over the past two decades, he has ascended through the ranks of several musical ensembles spanning from academia, the church and jazz arenas. His debut project features compositions that are a fusion of his love for a wide range of genres - including jazz, gospel, classical, alternative and neo-soul music. He is a big proponent for celebrating the natural sound of instrumentation! Listen for the foot pedal lifting at the piano or the drum sticks being brought together before the down beat. There is value in raw sound.
