It's no exaggeration to say that Maurice Murphy's playing indirectly shaped popular culture. The impacts of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark and Superman on geekdom and the entertainment industry in general would have been significantly smaller without his gleaming, heroic playing heralding those stories. It's impossible to think of those movies without thinking about his sound and phrasing.
I have heard this played many times. That was the best of them all. Superb.
Simply perfect trumpet playing and what a fabulous musician. R.I.P. Maurice!

Super person, taught me trumpet early 1960's at Fulneck School Pudsey Yorkshire.
He was amazing, and always spoke with a truly humble demeanor.
