Kurt, a skilled musician/arranger, has a music education degree and enjoys both his role as a music teacher as well as his role as a lead trumpet player in various groups. Kurt has a very broad set of horn player skills... from blasting high trumpet stabs, ripping through highly technical and screaming horn lines to laying back and offering up beautiful, melodic flugelhorn melodies. He has an extensive formal jazz education/performance/college background which readily shows in his contributions to the Roadhouse Horns and to Rooster. Kurt has been involved with studio recordings, most recently doing two separate recordings with Mark Records. Kurt does many of the horn arrangements for the Roadhouse Horns, moving comfortably from charting funky horn lines in the dance tunes to haunting choral-like voicings in the ballads.
