From Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl, virtuoso trumpeter Randy Lee’s playing has been praised by the American Record Guide as "Handsome... estimable...", and the International Trumpet Journal as "...exceptional... demonstrates the full range of emotional intensity."

 

Currently the Associate Professor of Trumpet at the University of Florida and a soloist, recording artist, and collaborator, he is also a member of the UF Brass Quintet, Naples Brass, and the Brazilian guitar/voice duo – Tremura | Lee. Recording for his latest solo album, Echoes of Zion, will finish in the Spring with the UF Wind Symphony and will be available on Mark Records. He can also be heard on Deutsche Grammophon, Centaur Records, and Tantara Records.

 

Randy has premiered and recorded new solo literature for the trumpet and presented guest artist recitals at various universities around the globe. Some of these include Anthony Maglione’s The Mystic Trumpeter, James Oliverio’s Trumpet Concerto No. 1 “World House”, Ian Coleman’s settings of traditional Spirituals Go Down Moses and Steal Away for solo trumpet and choir, as well as Mauricio Arias’ La Guanena and Rapsodia Camaleónica.
