Barbara Donald

One of the top female trumpeters of all-time, Barbara Donald has a powerful and explorative style that has been showcased on records far too little.

She recorded a couple of impressive efforts for Cadence in the early '80s, but little has been heard from her since. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music ...more
