I don't appear in many of these photos because, for the most part, I was behind the camera.
En Julio de 2019 El Cuarteto del Gremio de Cornistas fueron a Tucumán y Buenos Aires para dar conciertos e impartir un curso para grupos de cornistas. Esta galería es un intento de documentar el viaje. Hay imagenes de ensayos, conciertos, las clases, comidas, viajes, y también he incluido unas "fotos callejeras" para traer algo de contexto.
No aparezco en muchas de estas photos porque, casi siempre, estaba detrás de la cámara.
L to R: Alex Wide, Tony Halstead and Hugh Sisley.
We were very fortunate to spend a couple of days being coached by the master - Tony Halstead. This was in Tony's studio working on Jim Rattigan's new piece for two horns and piano, "Villardilles".

Here's Valentin Garvie, our guide from Buenos Aires (an old friend of mine and a genius trumpet player) in "La Brigada". The waiting staff in Argentina like to show off how tender their beef is by cutting it up with a spoon.
Aquí está Valentin Garvie, nuestro guía de Buenos Aires - un viejo amigo y un capo de la trompeta - estábamos en "La Brigada". Los meseros en Argentina quieren lucirse de cuan tierna es su carne cortandola con una cuchara roma.
