Born:
Gerard Presencer is universally recognized as one of the best trumpet / flugelhorn players in his field. His most celebrated recorded performance, which has lead to his being described as "subliminally, the most famous trumpeter in the world", is his solo work on the 3 million selling album by US3, "Hand on the Torch" (1993) on Blue Note.

At the age of 11 he became a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and at the age of 15 he made his recording debut with the alto Peter King.

He's composed film soundtracks (including 2008's Me And Orson Welles), and worked as musician or producer with an extensive array of artists including Ian Dury, Sting, Scritti Politti, the Bee ...

Many pop songs are in fact love songs about girls, but what about the cars? A singer-songwriter ...
