Ed,
I totally agree with you. I liked Drucker's sound (even with the small
vibrato) but it was a very interesting close up. Don't we all teach
embouchure where the chin should be flat? It was also interesting to see
where the brass section was set up - Maybe the woodwinds wanted some
distance from the trumpet bells.
