"Like Chet Baker, Cooper stays on an even keel, although he'll surprise you with twists and leaps into the upper register or blistering high note patterns. No matter what he tries, he never looses his balance."

I recently wrote a review on www.AllThingsTrumpet.com of one of my favorite works in the repertoire, "Burden of Destiny" by James Stephenson.  He announced that review on TPIN and this is what was said:

Subject: [TPIN] "Burden of Destiny" - for Chris Martin

David Cooper reviews my "Burden of Destiny" (originally written for Chris
Martin) on his "All Things Trumpet" blog here:

Check it out: Dave did a great job!

Congratulations to you, Jim, forging such a thoughtful and expressive work.

Dave - that was a wonderful write-up and describes Jim's creation beautifully. Who says trumpet players can't write?
