Warren Vaché & Larry McKenna - "Back Home in Indiana" (2011)

One day in 2011 I heard some of the most joyful music, while drawing the great cornetist Warren Vache' for a commission. I was inspired to create a slideshow combining my drawings and photos with that music. -Melissa Gilstrap

Wow that tenor is amazing! Of course the band is outstanding Im just a tenor guy!

[@tipofelice]

I've been knowing Larry since I was 15, it's been 50 years. Always admired and respected him. I also respect the rest of these Philly guys. Warren V is also a musician worthy of the upmost respect.

Sensational!. Who would not have loved to be in attendance for this performance? OK……..maybe that one guy with Van Gogh’s ear for music, the one you provided the Thumbs Down. DUH!

[@auprivave2996]

At times the great Larry McKenna sounds almost exactly like Bird on tenor!

Warren has done his homework definitely! Knows that ARBAN is the basis for any good trumpet player, classic or jazz.
