Rittenhouse has a straightahead, hard-bop approach, but always produces a probing, thoughtful "sounds almost like a flugelhorn" that distinguishes him in the U.S. Army Blues, the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and his own trios, quartets, and quintets that gig around town. Those pretty notes, to paraphrase Louis Armstrong, go right through you. Rittenhouse is a professor of Jazz Trumpet at George Mason University, and a member of many revered ensembles. A multi-faceted musician, Darden Purcell is a sought-after featured soloist with big bands and small ensembles, band leader and vocal instructor.
