About Andy Nugent

Hello, my name is Andy!

I attended San Francisco State University after High school graduation and finished a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music with an emphasis in jazz theory and performance. I've always loved playing trumpet and listening to my favorite jazz trumpet players (Louis Prima, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Dorham, Al Hirt, Woody Shaw, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, etc..)

I've been playing Trumpet in both Wind Ensemble and Jazz band environments from high school throughout University. After finishing my degree, I would occasionally gig on the side with a few separate jazz combos around the city while working full time as a Mechanical Technician.    

Any questions/experiences you have with Trumpets (Bb, C, D, Piccolo), and Flugelhorn - Jazz music and trumpet performance, I'd enjoy talking with you (:
