Monette Trumpet Linda Briceo from Venezuela

This is what the great David Monette said about this wonderful girl.. “On my visit to Jazz at Lincoln Center last weekend Wynton told me I needed to hear this young woman from Venezuela who would be playing with the band for a tune. Wynton had just met her the day before, and he immediately invited her to sit in for the concert. She wanted to try a Monette trumpet when we met, and the only horn I had on the trip was the big RAJA for Terence that I did not want to leave in the hotel room. So knowing Terence's passion for teaching and mentoring students, I let her blow a couple notes on the horn... first time on a Monette mouthpiece or a Monette instrument. Talk about starting out with the best! Then we went to Wynton's office and he had her try his horn, a lighter RAJA III. So Linda's first experience with Monette horns was to play two of the best RAJA's we have ever made - within 15 minutes - and she played up to double C on both horns! Thanks Linda - all the very best to you i
