Trumpet faculty artist Joe Burgstaller’s solo track contribution in Hector Martignon’s Banda Grande: The Big Band Theory was praised in the Latin Jazz Network‘s review of the work. “Martignon’s soloists measure up well against the competition too. One in particular – Joe Burgstaller, who literally soars on ‘Erbarme Dich’ from Bach’s eternal St. Matthew’s Passion and yet retains an inward quality that responds sensitively to the solemn content of this great aria, voiced by the sensational contralto, Brenda Feliciano.”
