The Francis Suite

The power of Facebook has, via a friend in California, reacquainted me with one of the most memorable sounds and friends from my college days. Kenny Rittenhouse has a CD titled "The Francis Suite" and his trumpet playing is as beautiful, emotional, and soulful as I remember it from my days of sharing the stage with him in the West Virginia Wesleyan Jazz Ensemble. Through Kenny, along with Chris Loftis, John Clarke, David Choban, and others I learned my place in the world. I saw greatness and his name is Kenny Rittenhouse. I will always treasure the measures and notes we shared.

If you enjoy jazz, and especially the trumpet, treat yourself to a copy of this fantastic CD.
