Description

Recorded on The Thompson Fields, "A Potter's Song" was written as a dedication to our beloved friend, Laurie Frink, who played trumpet on our recordings since our first recording in 1992. Besides being a world-renowned trumpet player and teacher, Laurie was also a skilled potter – thus the title. This work was written to feature Gary Versace on accordion, but it can also feature flügel which is also a lovely option. "A Potter's Song" has a Brazilian influence. With a running time between 5 and 6 minutes, it is not terribly difficult to play, other than it requires a soloist who can play lyrically, and who is agile with changes.

This offer comes with MP3 mixes of various kinds for solo and rhythm section practice.
