Legacies for Three

This trio was written as part of a trumpet “family-tree” project that Wiff, Bill and Chris were putting together. Each of them were “related” as trumpet-students, and shared many common teachers from a wide assortment of backgrounds. After opening with a “Fox-esque” fanfare (because of a common bond to one of the trumpeters in that recording), “Legacies” captures those relationships, where each teacher plays a solo and symbolically hands off the baton to their student, before all play triumphantly together in the finish.
