He's wonderful - I have so much awe for trumpeters, and he's fantastic.

When I was at uni, I roomed with two trumpeters and a trombonist. They usually put their mutes in to practise, but every now and then they got exuberant.

The neighbours, bless them, never complained.

This is so odd... since I just saw him and his band in concert last night, lol. It was amazing, as expected. I absolutely was in awe of his talent :D

What an excellent coincidence. I'm glad (and a little envious) that you got to witness his virtuosity firsthand!
