Sad to hear of the passing of trumpet player Warren Luening. A well-known musician in the non-film-score world, he also contributed to a generous number of scores many of us here enjoy. One of his most well-known (in fact he even got screen credit for it!) was his solo work on JW's score for "The River":

More recently he also performed on the scores for "Tintin" and was known for being able to go from this miraculously rich, dark solo tone (sound) to fitting into a fanfare-playing, John-Williams-orgy type of score. Here's one that's a little dated, but still a nice bit of playing:

Just a super nice guy...very kind and fun to work with.

You can read more about Warren here: http://www.moviebras...en_leuning.html

EDIT: Meant to mention, you can see glimpses of Warren during the "Tintin" featurette from the Blu-Ray that was posted here recently.

Just couple of weeks ago I listened to this trumpet solo from The River and wondered, who the player might be.

Never cared to check it out... Now I know. :(

He was also one of the main brass for Jurassic Park and TLW (don't recall if he did JP3 though) ...that is sad. Its always astonished me how active people can be and how strong and then suddenly they're gone. Brilliant recordings all

He's the one playing the trumpet con sordini, right?
