Claudio helped me immeasurably when I first moved to NYC. He encouraged me, got me on gigs with him. enriched my knowledge of the instrument with his peerless understanding of how the mechanics of the instrument itself can affect the playing experience. He really has an idiom of his own that he has developed in the jazz trumpet tradition, and an influential one, whether admitted by those he influenced or not. My original "RoditiSamba" is I hope a worthy tribute to this great master, to me a true Unsung Hero.
