Nigel ....You are right on the money......  

If you were to ask Maurice Murphy, Jim Shepherd, James Scott, John
Berryman, John Hudson, David Read and a host of other excellent  "end
chair"  men, I'm sure they would all agree that Derek Garside was "one of a
kind" and the finest Principal cornetist there ever was. His rendition of
Cleopatra and Silver Showers have never been equalled.  Does it sound like
I'm a fan?  

To the young members on the list...... I would suggest you find someone
with those classic CWS recordings with Alex Mortimer conducting from about
1958 through 1961 and sit down and educate yourselves.  I never tire of
listening to them.

Just a side note..........
After we recorded Phil Smith's CD, "Escapade", Bram Tovey (who conducted
it) 
and I were listening to the old recording of Derek playing Cleopatra,  and
he said 
"I wish I had heard this before we recorded it."  When Derek Garside came
to NYC about 3 years ago, Phil Smith told me he was really upset that he
was unable to attend the concert and clinic because of his commitments with
the New York Philharmonic.......
