According to the dictionary, the word EXQUISITE
can mean - beautiful, elegant, excellent, flawless, graceful, impeccable,
or superlative. A few phrases that might be used to characterize the word
EXQUISITE could be - "elegant and refined,"
"delicately beautiful," "of such tasteful beauty as to
elicit admiration." Any of these could be used to describe the artistry
of Malcolm McNab.
After over 35 years of being Hollywood’s premiere first call studio
trumpet player, Malcolm McNab is now recording his long overdue debut
solo CD – "EXQUISITE." While billions
of people in this world have heard the beautiful sound of his trumpet
on nearly 2,000 motion picture and television scores, including Dances
with Wolves, LA Confidential, and The Last Castle, very few know his name.
Now the time has come for Malcolm McNab to share his artistry as a world-class
virtuoso musician. The world can finally put a name and a face to one
of the most recorded trumpet sounds of our time.
"EXQUISITE" is a revolutionary and magnificent
recording featuring music of Tchaikovsky, Bach, Zappa, and Bruce Broughton.
Accompanied by the Altadena Pro Musica under the direction of producer/engineer/conductor
Gary Grant, Malcolm performs the Violin Concerto of Tchaikovsky, the Concerto
for 2 Violins by Bach in D minor, Frank Zappa’s BeBop Tango, and
the only music commissioned especially for this CD - Bruce Broughton’s
Saloon Music for Bb Cornet and Pit Orchestra.
“EXQUISITE” is scheduled for release
the summer of 2006. Please stay tuned to this site for more details and
ordering information. If you are interested in reserving an advanced copy,
