Have you ever wondered what the guy looked liked who played all the great trumpet solos on these and many other soundtrack classics?
Maurice Murphy, former principal trumpet of the London Symphony

Without taking anything away from Mr. Murphy (whose notes we can all clearly hear in our mind's ear without even trying hard), I have never heard playing like that done by Tim Morrison, principal trumpet for the Boston Pops Orchestra (under, of course, John Williams) in the end title of Williams' score for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. A musician might sell his soul to be able to play like that.
