One of the greatest trumpeters of all time, Maurice Andre, passed away last week. RIP

As a trumpeter myself, I surprised I didn't hear of this sooner. This guy had one of the best tone qualities you've ever heard. RIP.

I read about this the day he passed away.
Amazing musician. May he rest in peace.

(For a moment I thought "Maurice Jarre"... but of course he's been long dead.)
