Meet The Trumpets

Wayne Baker is a frequent sub with the band. Born and raised in Halifax, he continued his musical students at Humber College where he recorded two albums and toured Europe with the top band.  He freelanced in Toronto for ten years performing behind many top jazz stars and then played ten years with the Charlottetown Festival before returning to Halifax to teach in the public schools.

Dave Greenberg has been playing with the Tuesday Night Band from its earliest beer warehouse days.  He is a "retired" oceanographer, but still active at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dalhousie and Acadia.  In addition to the Tuesday night Band, he plays with the Sackville Community Band and Scotia Brass.  He has been called upon to fill in with the RNSIT fanfare trumpets, local orchestras and bands.  There have not been too many complaints when he has been asked to play the last post or taps at various ceremonies and funerals.

Ted is a graduate of the music programs at Humber College and York University where he studied performance, composition, and arranging.  After completing his Bachelor of Education Degree at the University of Toronto, Ted taught high school music for 29 years before retiring in 2012.  Since then, he has concentrated on writing jazz ensembles with a focus on big band composition and arranging, including for the Tuesday Night Band. Ted is also a member of the Chester Brass and Ocean Blue Jazz Quartet.

Originally from Toronto, Chris Jauer is a retired geophysicist who spent the last two decades researching at the Geological Survey of Canada in Dartmouth and previously in the Calgary oil patch. His love for brass music has been a constant and he has now played with the Tuesday night Band for many years as well as playing with Scotia Brass and the Sackville Concert Band.  When he's not playing trumpet or flugelhorn, Chris enjoys motorcycling, sailing and doing science outreach activities.
