Thomas Stevens, the distinguished principal trumpet player with the LA Philharmonic Orchestra for over 25 years, has been described by the Brass Bulletin as "undeniably one of the most important voices in the development of the trumpet in the latter part of the 20th century." He was a founding member of the LA Brass Quintet and has been a soloist with orchestras while performing recitals throughout the world. The American Record Guide wrote "Without a doubt, one of the world's finest brass players" and Andre Previn was inspired to write "Tom Stevens is at one and the same a virtuoso and a highly thoughtful musician. I can think of only a handful of players who are his equal and certainly none better."
