Aside from being an incredible master musician, Tom writes some of the most beautiful compositions; this among them. Love this guy's playing so much.

Simple. profound. This man has overcome schizophrenia to become a top trumpet soloist. He is a remarkable person.

Wow, I just came here via a link in one of the many FB music groups that I’m in. This is the best (to me) new composition that I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you. Thank you.

これほど叙情的で静謐な演奏は久しぶり。饒舌ではないけれどトムハレルのトランペットはよく歌う。

As Toots Thielemans told me once: " When you can tell your story or express your feelings with 3 notes, don't use 4 " Very little musicians can !!!!!

[@MrIlvis]

@@joseceraia You are very fortunate to meet Toots!

[@joseceraia]

@@MrIlvis met him more than once, I played with him a couple of times. A very kind and humble man.
