This is one of the most deceptively challenging pieces Mendez ever did (IMHO). I still have a lot of work to do on the dynamics and breath control, but I still love RM's rendition on the Trumpet Magic Decca album and hold it as one of my goals in life - to be able to approach playing at that level.

Here is my practice session on it (also done yesterday just before changing and leaving for work).

I hope some folks can enjoy my take on it.

Peace.

Nick
