John T. Cord's debut solo trumpet release represents a career of dedication to the diversity and versatility of today's professional trumpeter. Representing over 300 years of music history and compositions from six different countries of origin, this project truly has something for every listener. Appropriately titled Beyond Borders, Cord personifies a commitment to a broad spectrum of musical styles including performances of baroque, classical, romantic, 20th century, modern/contemporary works as well as uniquely original arrangements and adaptations by Cord himself. Each selection found on the album is delivered by a different assembly of absolutely stellar musicians. With over 20 instrumentalists and vocalists contributing, Cord has succeeded masterfully as a dedicated proponent to the art of collaborative music. The beautiful contrast of instrumental timbres and blends ushers an expanse of musical colors and textural landscapes. Representing virtually every form of the modern trumpet, Cord will not only satisfy the purist member of the trumpet community, but he has designed a body of work and musical expression that should be included in the audio library of any music teacher or student of any instrument.
