    Joe was a pleasure to work with. He intuitively knew exactly what I wanted and played the parts beautifully. He was swift with the turnaround, and extremely communicative and professional through the whole process. I can highly recommend Joe for all your trumpet, flugelhorn, and banjo needs!

    Beyond fantastic! Joe is a real pro and worked with me quickly to produce the perfect accent for our song. If you're on the fence about Joe, don't be. He's great!

    Joe is the best! He laid some lovely trumpets on my track that tug at the heart and make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Beautiful. He is also a lovely guy with great musical chops and a wonderful attitude. Looks like he also plays banjo! I will be back! Thanks, Joe!!

    Joe is the real deal. Such a pleasure to work with, and has it all - a great big sound, bags of experience, attention to detail, and most of all, great taste. You will not go wrong booking him.

    Joe is an extremely talented musician and will provide a great take in a high-quality recording, perfect for whatever you need it for! Have worked with him a lot before and hope to do so again for future projects.

    I have worked with Joe on and off for many years, and can not recommend him highly enough. He’s is my no.1 go-to trumpeter for live work, session work and everything in between - primarily Jazz, but also lots of pop and rock. As well as being a terrific player, Joe is also a first class *musician*. Great ears, extremely versatile and adaptable, and he has a deep understandIng of a vast range of music. He’s also an excellent sightreader, and a very useful Banjo player! I am very pleased to be able to recommend Joe.
