In between, Daniel Schnyder’s Sonata from 1994, revised in 2013, is very cool, angular, hip, somewhere beyond Euro-jazz, six non-stop minutes of cascading riffs, swaggering reflections, intriguing international dialogues and tours de force of virtuosity. No wonder it was the official piece for the 2003 Concours de Trompette Maurice André.

Michael Daugherty’s The Lightning Fields is a set of four tone poems inspired by natural or artificial light phenomena in North America; of those, his electric evocation of the phantasmagoric Marfa lights near the Rio Grande river and the Mexican border most successfully fire the inspiration.

In addition to his riotous The Adventures of…, McKee’s heartfelt eulogy Song for a Friend pours out a lovely, open-hearted melody in tribute to a musician and educator who inspired his students and colleagues and illuminated lives. The second recording of Anthony Plog’s Sonata from 2009 recalls its sterling qualities, including the insanity that is the Molto vivace.

When Bergman is playing trumpet he takes command; when he plays his flugelhorn – in the slow movement of Catalonia and in the Marfa section – he becomes a poet. At the piano, Steven Harlos sets landscapes with dynamic flash and colour, always pulling back to avoid being trampled by stampeding trumpet flourishes and runs. They make a nice combination.
