Carmine Caruso was one of the world’s greatest brass teachers. It is to the man and his work that the 2007 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition is dedicated.
All events are open to the public and will be held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona (USA) on November 3, 2007. Laurie Frink will present a morning clinic on the Carmine Caruso Teaching Method. The final competition will be held in the afternoon in Crowder Hall in the UA School of Music. An evening Finale concert held in Centennial Hall will feature the Tucson Jazz Orchestra (Jeffrey Haskell, director) with solo performances by each of the distinguished judges and the competition winners.
