MALCOLM MCNAB'S new CD, 'THE INFINITE TRUMPET' is the second solo CD release from one of the most recorded trumpet sounds in history. You have heard his horn many times over the last 40 years on movie and television soundtracks. In his many years as a studio musician, Malcolm McNab has played on over 2000 soundtracks and has performed with everyone from Aaron Copland to Frank Zappa. His solo trumpet is featured in soundtracks such as Dances with Wolves, LA Confidential, The Last Castle, Jaws, Independence Day and Air Force One. His first CD, 'EXQUISITE-THE ARTISTRY OF MALCOLM MCNAB' was released in 2006 and has enjoyed unanimous acclaim among critics and fellow musicians alike. 

 

“The Infinite Trumpet” is the result of Malcolm’s continued dream to create exceptional solo trumpet recordings that not only feature his incomparable technique but also his unmatched melodic lyricism. To help Malcolm realize his vision, he collaborated with Ayke Agus who served as Jascha Heifetz’s personal assistant and accompanist for over 15 years. Ayke, who is equally at home on the violin as she is on the piano, serves as the perfect collaborator. Because of her association with Heifetz, her musical insights enhance the authenticity of these performances.

“The Infinite Trumpet” features brilliant yet expressive performances of pieces originally composed for violin by composers such as Saint-Saens, Paganini , Wieniawski, Kreisler, Tchiakovsky, Drigo , and Ponce.

An integral contributor to “The Infinite Trumpet” is producer Gary Grant who also produced “Exquisite”. Gary, a master trumpeter himself, has also produced CDs for Wayne Bergeron and Arturo Sandoval.

Original cover art and CD booklet design is by Tom Nikosey. The booklet includes "Behind a Trumpet", the story of Malcolm's life with a trumpet, in his own words.
