Richard
Todd:
New Ideas |
 West
Coast horn player Richard Todd has "rewritten the
book" on French horn playing.
Equally adept in jazz and classical
repertory, he presents an album that showcases
spectacular feats of high register playing, clear
articulation, and a strong grasp of jazz improvisation.
(Also hear more of the jazz side of
Richard Todd on Rickter Scale
with Billy Childs, John Clayton Jr, and Ralph
Penland.) |
"A
remarkable recording.
It should be nominated for a Grammy."
—The Horn Call |
