........................................The song "Train" is sung and written by my friend Ã…sa Danell. She asked me if I could play a solo on that and I did. I think it worked out just fine. I love
to play songs like that. Hope You like it too....

Influences: Like every other trumpetplayer I listen to Miles and Clifford. But right now I find myself listening to "younger" trumpetplayers like Wynton Marsalis and of course my greatest inspiration: Chris Botti.I also listen to classical music and I have just discoverd a trumpetplayer named Alison Balsom. She´s just amazing! She plays the trumpet so relaxed and with such a great tone.I´m also in to the Big Band music style. Please check out Gordon Goodwin´s "Big Phat Band". You gonna get real inspired to practise and playing Big Band music when you hear them. Listen to Wayne Bergeron and the way he plays lead trumpet. I don´t think I have ever heard anything like that. He rocks!!!! Hope to meet him someday but I don´t think I ever will....You also want to check out Dream Theater!!! I listen to them every day and I have had the privilege to see them live here in Stockholm!! This is music that is far from jazz but I just love their songs.
