About

In France, where jazz enjoyed a greater influence on classical composers than perhaps anywhere else, there was a regular explosion of trumpet works during the 20th century (‘but, my dear fellow, Louis Armstrong is doing wonders in the top register. Why should this be impossible for a classical player?!’ André Jolivet).

Virtuoso Ole Edvard Antonsen has gathered five works composed between 1944 and 1966 that clearly demonstrate the colourful, vibrant and technical abilities of the trumpet.
