I play trumpet in all styles.
My specialty is improvising on the trumpet.
I can also read charts and transcribe music.
I can be a solo entertainer and perform my original compositions (along with my laptop which I use as accompaniment).
I am also a bandleader and can bring a small 'jazz' styled band setup.
Lastly, I can be off hire to play in someone elses band.

Hi, I play trumpet Jazz styled but I was also trained to read music. I like to play in Rock bands and all styles. I also like Hiphop as well. I can improvise.
"One of the best trumpet players in the Wine Country"
-Byron Colborn, Element Brass Band, Sacramento CA
“Robbie G has one of the smoothest trumpet sounds in today’s generation of musicians. His tone will have your attention and melodic phrases make for a tasteful musical conversation."
-Jimmy Toor, SF Bay Area Musician/Bandleader
"It wasn't clear on Thursday night if the crowd at Copia was happier because Jorge Santana had brought his seven-member Latin combo to town or that a talented young local trumpeter had been invited to display his ample talents with these big city pros."
-Pierce Carson, Napa Valley Register
"We did get to hear "Suavecito" three times -- first when Gastelum made his initial entry; then with a reggae tempo (which is where the young St. Helena trumpeter really got to shine with jazzy licks complementing Santana's fiery guitar solos); and finally as a departing encore."
