John is also a lyricist, song
writer, singer, and composer. Now John has a brand new solo CD that
shows the true talent of such an accomplished artist.
"John and I went to college together and also played
many gigs together
over the years. Other than being a great friend, he is an incredible
trumpet player and has the ability to play way past 'Double C!!!' "
" In my years of producing records and
writing music for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, John Barrowman was an
important part of the trumpet section and always a reliable and
great person to be around. He always added a great deal to what we
were doing."
"John Barrowman is a multifaceted,
consummate musician with whom it was my great pleasure to have worked
with.
Back in the 'good old days', Tony Scotti and I produced a
group named The California Earthquake. John, and his long time
friend, Jay Graydon, were an integral part of that musical aggregation.
The word which comes to mind for both of them is "excellence".
Above and beyond the musical prowess of both is my
recollection that these are two fine human beings.
John, on a personal note, I would just like to say that I
wish you every success in your future endeavors and happiness in your
day-to-day life. You deserve the best, and....
