About Me

Hello my name is Manuel D. Rodriguez I have been playing trumpet & flugelhorn since I was young, it has been a passion for as long as I can remember, what a BLAST IT IS! I play a Marcinkiewicz trumpet Vermeer 3 | "Bright can be overwhelming at times. It would be nice to have a horn that can be bright and caress you as well. The Vermeer-- Model Three-- has all these things, a bright and focused round sound. What separates this horn from others is its responsiveness and incredible presence. This instrument is ideal for most situations, and preferred by players that like to be on top of the section. Features a 5" bell diameter" from the website; www.marcinkiewicz.com | _ _ _ _ I have performed with many Artists/musicians as a section - lead - solo trumpet player. I have performed in the San Antonio College Jazz Band, SAC Latin Jazz Band, Eagle's Nest Christian Fellowship, My Friends House Christian Fellowship praise & worship teams also from time to time at the Worship Institute in Dallas, TX. and I have appearances at numerous Jazz Festivals around the Country and in the World with the US Marine Corps Band and others. _ _ _ _ Also you can see me performing with other artists-CK THE UPCOMING SHOWS_ _ _ _Currently, I teach at Alamo Music Center & Master Trumpet Classes at Local High Schools in San Antonio, TX. _ _ _ _ Well one recording that I can remember is "Cristo Reina" with Jaime Murrell on CanZion Producciones. (post some others later) . . . . Now just got done with some recordings with some really coool musicians. "SOLId fRONT" is the name of my band. Also recorded lead trumpet & flugelhorn ( some solos, ck it out ) on "FAITH257" new CD; www.myspace.com/faith257 : "producing & recording, doing horn arrangements with Abraham Rodriguez & Nick Cedillo was a lot fun, "hey brothers THANKS, blessings on you guys!" - _ _ _ _ if you want to know more about HENRY'S SONG go to; http://www.myspace.com/stbalster : thanks_ _ _ _ Colossians 2:5 [AMP] "For though I am away from you in body, yet I am with you in spirit, delighted at the sight of your [standing shoulder to shoulder in such] orderly array and the firmness and the SOLID FRONT and steadfastness of your faith in Christ [that leaning of the entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness]."
