Timothy Winfield - Landscapes & Shorts (2019)

Landscapes and Shorts contains original music written for Timothy Winfield, trumpet, and Nancy DeSalvo, piano, as well as a recording of one of Walter Hartleys classic instrumental compositions, Sonatina for Trumpet. Also included are world premiere recordings of Daniel Perttus Torngat, Joshua Hobbs Keystone Landscapes, Jason Howards Nine Short Shorts for Trumpet and Piano, and Josh Oxfords Beethoven in the House. Oxfords composition is written for trumpet and live electronics and employs a mix of blues and funk while also cleverly utilizing twelve-tone methods. Compositions by Perttu and Hobbs engagingly paint musical pictures of landscapes in Pennsylvania and Canada, while Howards work journeys through several short, but emotionally charged characteristic pieces.
