I had a chance to catch this kid playing his cornet briefly over the weekend. Geoffrey Gallante was scheduled to play the National Anthem at Sunday's Royal's game. Not sure if he did or didn't since I wasn't at the game (maybe one of you Royals faithful can confirm).
But I did see him give a brief solo at another venue and I gotta say, kid's got chops. At 8 years old he can stand up and jam with the likes of Phil Driscoll, Arturo Sandoval, Wynton Marsalis and even Maynard Ferguson. He's definitely a talent to keep your eye on in the future.
Here he is crankin' out a little Herb Alpert and the TJB.

Cool kid. Certainly got his swagger down. Throw some shades on him, put that trumpet thru a wah-wah pedal, maybe a styley (stylie?) Kangol cap.
