Seven Angels, is the sensational debut recording by New York trumpet player and composer John Lake. An up-and-coming instrumentalist known for his large-ensemble and session playing, Lake puts a bold foot forward with this independent release, a diverse mix of contemporary originals and modern arrangements of select jazz classics. Since moving to Brooklyn from the Midwest seven years ago, Lake has gained a reputation as a lead trumpeter of formidable prowess. But he always had plans to grow his own voice as a player/composer. "Seven Angels, to me, represents this idea that we each have a circle of 'guardian angels' guiding us in our life's journey. They could be your artistic influences, your teachers, an encouraging family member, or even, in an abstract sense, some greater force watching out for you, providing opportunities or ideas when the time is right. I really believe there's a right time and place for everything, and felt that this collection of compositions and musical relationships I'd developed needed to be shared. "
