Brandon Ridenour: Trumpet Invasion

Trumpet Invasion is primarily a collection of piano pieces that have been arranged for trumpet and piano by Brandon and his father, Rich Ridenour. As arranger, Brandon's "trumpet invasion" of Chopsticks, Rachmaninoff's Etude Tableaux and Mozart's Rondo alla Turka morphs standard piano pieces into something uniquely new. Yet, Rich defends the piano on Chopin's Grande Polonaise, with minimal scoring for the trumpet!
