And the second from Concord festival 1981 'You are so beautiful' I asked Gene if this was inspired by Urbie's recording?
gene replied 'Everything I do is inspired by Urbie!!

Gene Smith
Early in my university studies, I spent 4 years studying with Gene. Dry sense of humour and a distinct personality; while I didn't end up the same type of player, I definitely absorbed a lot about musicality, sensibility and embracing your personality through the horn.

Gene was also the major design guy for the Besson 940/941 trombones. Great horns!
