Testimony
" I've played a lot of trumpets, looking for
one that could give me everything I need in a horn. I need an instrument
that plays in tune, up and down the horn. I need one that feels and sounds
open in all registers. One that can handle a screaming triple forte as
well as a pianissimo low C. One that plays in tune. The Marcinkiewicz
Rembrandt I play now is the most complete trumpet I've ever played. The
back pressure is gone. Why are you working so hard? Every real player
deserves a horn like this. What are you waiting for?"

Biography
Although Mic Gillette is best known for 30 years of
stellar horns work with Cold Blood, Tower of Power, and
the Sons
of Champlin,
not as many
people realize that he has appeared on several hundred albums and CDs
(!) for some of the biggest names in the music business--Santana,
The Rolling Stones, Quincy Jones, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Jefferson
Starship,
Huey Lewis and the News, and hundreds more. Mic also enjoyed brief stints
with Blood, Sweat & Tears and The Fundamentals, an R&B/Motown
band.
The majority of these appearances were during nearly two
decades as leader of the world-renowned Tower of Power Horn Section.
So
if you didn't know, now you do: Mic Gillette has been and continues
to be one of the most prolific and sought-after horn players in the
history
of music! When it comes to searing funk, soaring brass solos, and deliciously
soulful ballads, it doesn't get any better!
