Russell Gunn - Mood Swings (2003)

Russell Gunn known primarily for his trumpet playing and Grammy nominated recording, "Ethnomusicology vol. 1". Russell grew up in East St. Louis, Illinois playing trumpet, and his initial musical interest was hip hop with LL Cool J being his first music idol.
"Mood Swings" is a rather unusual set (trumpet plus organ trio) with Gunn on trumpet, Radam Schwartz on Hammond B3, Eric Johnson on guitar and Cecil Brooks III on drums. Russell's trumpet, to say the least, swings and blends flawlessly with the set.
