2008 Grammy Trumpet Section Update

In a previous 2008 Grammy post it was mentioned that Dave Trigg and Harry Kim were the trumpet players for the pre-records. Video of them playing in the section with Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra can be seen by clicking here.

For the sake of thoroughness, it should be mentioned that there was some live orchestra work on Rhapsody in Blue featuring Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang, and on Alicia Keys' No One. In the trumpet section were (from left to right) Charley Davis, Rick Baptist and Ron King.

Also in the brass section were Kurt Snyder on horn and Alan Kaplan on bass trombone. It was difficult to make out anyone else, so if you happen to know who else was in the brass section, by all means please let me know!
