Edward H. Tarr has passed away

Musicologist, author, and trumpeter Ed Tarr has died. He was from the USA, but lived in Switzerland. He recorded many Renaissance and Baroque natural trumpet pieces. His Hummel recording is the one I have always preferred.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIHXmF1Yyws&list=PLjQsyGmPDmPPhoHJJ2J803QTUUmAaq40s

Sad. He was a major moving force in the renaissance of the natural trumpet, I have read some few of his writings and listened to several CD's. Other trumpeters give him a lot of credit for their own career course.  RIP...
