    As a former trumpet player of 13+ years from middle school through college, watching him sit and really explore on one half-valved note and just groove the octaves like that made me so resentful of my instructors. Purposefully sitting in between pitches like that was considered "playing around" and not "true music". I love that solo so much.

    We Like It Here is the album born from this session. The drummer (Larnell Lewis) was a last minute fill-in and learned all but a couple of the songs on his plane ride to the location, where he had a day or two to rehearse with the band before recording. It brings joy to my heart to see that real talent and commitment to excellence like this still exists in the music world. Great reaction! Lingus next! Cory Henry’s keyboard solo will melt your face off. 🤣
