Bristol trumpeter Teet Munro returns after 15 years
Bristol musician Ellsworth Teet Munro known as Axel returns home after 15 years in major radio and recording work. He joined the Portuguese Independent Band and the Smoke-Eaters at Newport Naval Training Station, plans to teach trumpet and set up a music studio and store, and recalls a 60 000 strong Mayor's Concert crowd in Chicago. He started in Bristol, played with Gene Autry and Frank Sinatra era shows, and hopes to inspire students locally after Labor Day.
