I first encountered Trumpet Summit when a friend of mine recorded 'All the things you are' and 'Bopzutti' onto a compilation tape for me one Christmas. I had never heard of them before and no record shop in London stocked them but when I heard 'All the things you are', I knew I had to have it. Have you ever heard two trumpets playing in exact unison? Have you ever heard a solo that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up on end? Have you ever heard so many notes at once you wonder how they could possibly make their tongues move so fast? If not, then this is just the album for you. It's like listening to Miles Davis on speed. Highly recommended.

3 of some of the finest breed of trumpet players alive today. Vizzuti, DiMartino, and the great Bobby Shew! There arent too many other recordings out there with as much talent in one group. It very interesting to go back and liesten to some of these guys on their solo albums after listening to them together. Especially Bobby shew, This guy can play! The reason i give it a 4 is because there are points where they are trying too hard to outdo eachother by craming notes, particularly from Vizzuti but it is still well worth your $$$

The recording sums it up. DiMartino and Shew are considered to be two of the finest trumpet players in the world. Vizzutti is the greatest player in the universe. He makes both of the others sound like beginners.
