Someone wrote years ago that there are two kinds of musicians, Famous ones and Great ones. Sometimes great ones become famous but oftentimes truly great players never get the worldwide attention that they deserve. This brings me to mentioning Juraj Bartos whom I KNOW to be a truly great player, not only a great trumpeter but more so, a truly great musician. He has powerful lead chops, is a great jazz improviser, has classical skills as good as anyone I’ve heard, and…is a very humble, warm, honest human being. I’m NOT exaggerating these comments. You must find a way to hear this man play.
