But if you want a current

Can't remember? Good grief!!!  The man's name is Rod Franks, and in my
opinion is an even more lyrical trumpet player than Watson himself.  Take a
listen to London Brass's 'Impressions of Brass' CD, or some of the later
PJBE recordings.

It's a matter of opinion, I know, but I've always thought that James
Watson's cornet playing has always sounded a bit - well, you know -
trumpet-like.  His recordings of Langford's Rhapsody, Gregson's Prelude &
Capriccio etc have always struck me as being a bit on the *edgy* side.  But
listen to his trumpet playing on the old PJBE albums - especially 'Romantic
Brass' - that, I think, is Watson at his very best.

As they say, discuss.

Cheers

Alec
