Leonard B. Smith, Cornet

Historical archival collection of recordings by this famed trumpet virtuoso. Starting in 1936 when he became the featured soloist with the famed Goldman Band in New York City, thru the war years when he was the cornet soloist with the US Navy Band and into the 1980’s when he was soloist with his own famous Detroit Concert Band, Leonard B. Smith was America’s most famous cornet soloist. These recordings trace Smith’s soloist career from the very beginning up until his very last recorded performance. A “must” CD for all serious cornet and trumpet teachers and students!
