A review of “Petite Monde”
Recently, I decided to reprint my first solo jazz CD. My daughter Skye, redid the layout and packaging giving it a much needed fresh look. I also came across a Wisconsin State Journal review of that CD. Lots have changed since then as 2003 was a lifetime ago, but I am still humbled by Kevin Lynch's kind words.

A review of “The Journey”
Hi Everyone,
A little while ago a writer-friend Kevin Lynch, did a review/article about my jazz CD "The Journey".
The Journey: A Deathly Odyssey Teaches David Cooper about Music and Life.
For virtuoso trumpeter David Cooper, the horn of plenty almost ran dry. Death Valley dry.
You know the cliché about art imitating life. What’s more significant is how music can sometimes embody life…

The Journey
I recorded this CD the summer of 2014. A few months prior, I was diagnosed with cancer (Squamous Cell Carcinoma), plus, my sister-in-law was dying of Pancreatic Cancer at the same time. Needless to say, this was a very emotional and scary time for me. I was not sure what would be on the other side of my treatments for me, so I decided to throw this "hail Mary" of a pass and ask some wonderful…
