Mr. Austin currently plays lead trumpet with the Artie Shaw Orchestra and is highly in demand in the Boston area as a jazz soloist. Mr. Austin also is on the faculty at the University of Southern Maine and also has a very successful studio in the Boston area. His primary jazz instructors include private studies Jerry Bergonzi, Kenny Werner, Chuck Findley and extensive studies with Hal Crook and Charlie Banacos.

Product Description
Just wanted to add that this CD is nothing short of fabulous. Trent's CD has not left my changer since I got it a month ago. A touch of the Prestige Miles, the Verve Roy Eldridge, a smidgen of Sweets, a dose of modernists Woody Shaw and Thad Jones, a nod to the great and unheralded storyteller of the trumpet, Herb Pomeroy. And overall, a taste of what it sounds like when Clark Terry becomes a mentor for someone who can understand all the lessons of a lifetime of jazz and project them with clarity through his own horn, his own spirit.
