The thing that's really cool about Fletcher was that he was a very humble guy. According to some, he would ask many different players (some big names, some not) for tips to incorporate into his playing. If you think the Star Wars recordings are impressive, you should listen to some old Philip Jones Brass Ensemble recordings. Fletcher was a monster. Unfortunately, he died way too young. I met him once very briefly when I was a student, and I remember that he was very kind.
