a kiss to build a dream on

We're very please to be participating in this year's Satchmo Summerfest again this year! Jason will be presenting Friday afternoon...


2pm - Satchmo’s Gear Trumpeter and custom trumpet designer and builder Jason Harrelson of Harrelson Trumpets - talks about the trumpets and mouthpieces used by Louis Armstrong – and how Jason believes they affected Armstrong’s sound.  Jason has played the trumpet for years and founded Harrelson Trumpets when he was just twenty years old.  He started by modifying student horns and selling them to friends. Harrelson then began to offer custom modifications for a few select customers, and his reputation grew.  Jason is known for bringing new technology and exciting designs to his instruments.
