|
|
I came across the name "Benny Barbara" a few years back when I purchased a great LP by him on eBay. Since then, I've found several more. In photos, he's shown playing an Olds Mendez with an Olds Mendez mouthpiece. And his technique is really something else ... he's the closest I've heard to Mendez. On his website and bio:
http://pages.globetrotter.net/antigone/barbara/biography.html
... he claims to have been a close personal friend of Mendez, and says he replaced him many times.
He's from Argentina originally, but is now a Canadian citizen.
Anybody out there know anything about this? I can tell you this from listening to his albums ... Mr. Barbara was one terrific trumpet player in his prime.
Best regards,
Bill Bridges |

Hi,
Benny was my first trumper teacher, I'm currently working with his daugther. I've talked to Mr Barbara last week after 30+ years. He's in good shape, with the trumpet never far away.
You could contact him through the following email : benny.barbara@videotron.ca
He also have a web site : http://www.expert-trumpet-method.com/
I'm sure he would like to talk to you.
