Katie Couric's Trumpeter

David Washburn is a *great* trumpet player, a member of three orchestras in Los Angeles. And Americans can sing along with him every evening. He plays the solo trumpet on the theme of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. We'll hear David Washburn play an elegant Trumpet Concerto by Tomaso Albinoni, in concert at the Music@Menlo Festival in California.
