I have a the video, The Canadian Brass Spectacular, with a triple brass quintet including one from Boston. Chester Schmitz, Warren Deck, and Chuck Daellenbach in a brass ensemble. Whew! Chuck must not be egotistical, or he would never have allowed that kind of talent to share the stage with him.

And John Williams and the Boston Pops, "Out of this World" Philips 411 185-2. Track 10--Jabba the Hut, from Return of the Jedi, with Chester playing the solo. I've tried in vain to hear the solo in the actual movie soundtrack--it must have been cut.

An old teacher of mine thought (at the time, at least) that Chester had the finest orchestral sound in the world--and that was when Jacobs was still performing.
