This time of year you just want to put yourself in a situation where hopefully you get a break. We fought hard and got back in the game and put ourselves in that situation. We got a break and at this time of the year, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
More Quotes from Jon Nelson:
Most performances, however, will not benefit from marquee billing. A lot of people are playing for the door receipts, ... which means they will end up playing for nothing. But the draw is that they have a forum where they can play whatever they want. There are no restrictions.Jon Nelson

Another example is a concert that juxtaposes entire universes of trumpet concepts. An Aug. 24 billing will showcase Jeremy Pelt, a gifted 28-year-old with a classic ballad style, and an ensemble led by Graham Ashton, a middle-aged Briton whose group boasts several leading symphonic brass players. We try to pair up things you would not likely see on the same program, ... We want to take categorization out of the whole presentation. If you want to have any kind of future at all, this is how you do it.

Evans makes sounds on the trumpet that are unbelievable. When I heard Nate play, it sounded like electric guitar, and he wasn't using a processor. This is where we have hope, with people who challenge the aesthetics of music. When they get up and play, it's very powerful.

People have their set impressions about the trumpet. It's either part of an orchestra, or it's played by one or two famous jazz musicians who are doing traditional music. But people are doing very creative things.
