David Wells - More Love More Power (2006)

For a smooth jazz artist David Wells, the title of his first compact disc, "The Day Of," provides insight to this master musician's lengthy career. Wells, a renowned flugelhorn player, was only 9 when he became drawn to the smooth, soulful sounds of the flugelhorn. Wells received private lessons from some of the most well- known trumpet instructors in the nation. Growing up in a large, musical family, Wells said he had the encouragement to diligently prepare for and pursue excellence with his flugelhorn. Around age 14, he realized music could be a full time job.

He performs regularly throughout the country, sharing his blend of easy listening, style of music. Wells, a soloist, has brought the attention to the flugelhorn what Kenny G. afforded the saxophone. He said the flugelhorn, which is a type of trumpet, is ideal for reaching, on a spiritual level, those who attend his concerts. "The trumpet itself is more bright and majestic. The flugelhorn is more mellow and soothing."
