UNconventional Trumpet

Editorial Reviews
Fanfare, May/June 2005
Throughout...John Holt plays with a pleasingly warm tone and seemingly effortless technique.

Album Description
UNconventional Trumpet was inspired by a great teacher, John James Haynie, who taught trumpet at the University of North Texas from 1950 to 1990. Most of the pieces on this CD were dedicated to Haynie. John Holt was appointed Professor of Trumpet at UNT in 2003. He is principal trumpet with the Dallas Opera and has performed and recorded with the Dallas Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony, Dallas Opera Orchestra, and Voices of Change.
