Amanda – Amanda Pepping

(When) I first heard Amanda Pepping…her technique was flawless, complete control of the horn, a gorgeous full tone, but above all, she looked for the MUSIC and found it. And… lo and behold she is better now than she was then.
A great player…and a lovely person.
Brava Amanda!
