For more than fifty years I've been listening to jazz and playing (a student at Westlake College in Hollywood) and only two trumpeters impressed me with the ability to, as Dave Pell notes, make melodies out of each improvisation: Clifford Brown and Don Fagerquist. We can only hope that as more and more of Don's material becomes available to the public that he will attain the public stature he so richly deserves. Fagerquist was and remains one of the greats of the trumpet. Joe M. Hayes Del Mar, CA
