REVIEW
- International Trumpet Guild website, ITG Conference May 25, 2001.
"... a
highlight
of the concert was 'Fantasy on Themes by John Merbecke' by Gregory Pascuzzi...
Dennis Najoom was the soloist on this work. Najoom’s
sound was inspiring, declamatory, and ran the entire dynamic spectrum. A
decrescendo to nothing ended the piece, and was breathtaking to behold." --Marc Geelhoed. Reporter

"Michael Torke's "The
Healing" opened this all American program...Trumpeter Dennis Najoom played the
culminating trumpet solo with great skill and heartfelt simplicity."
-- Tom Strini

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; July 2, 2004
"Sousa's bandsmen were legendary
virtuosos, so it was natural for Dennis Najoom to step out of the ranks to
play a cornet solo 'Willow Echoes'. Frank Simon, Sousa's principal
cornetist, composed it;
Najoom's lush tone, generous phrasing and etched
rhythm did Simon justice."
-- Tom Strini

International Trumpet Guild website; ITG Convention May 24, 2001.
"Cries and Whispers by Ned Rorem is a work for trumpet
and piano. Performed beautifully by Najoom and O’Neill
[actually
Greg Pascuzzi], it starts with slow, dramatic dialogue between the two players
(Cries). A lyrical section follows with
the muted trumpet providing
an eloquent, understated mood (Whispers)." --John Irish, ITG Reporter
REVIEW - International
Trumpet Guild website, ITG Convention May 25, 2001.
"An original composition for the group,
and a
highlight of the concert was Fantasy on Themes by John
Merbecke by Gregory Pascuzzi. Merbecke dates from the mid-1500s, and his themes recall the
modal liturgical chants of the Catholic Church.
Dennis Najoom was
the soloist on this work. Najoom’s sound was inspiring, declamatory, and ran the
entire dynamic spectrum. A decrescendo to nothing ended the piece, and was breathtaking to
behold." --Marc Geelhoed. ITG Reporter
REVIEW - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel April

"Dennis Najoom,
co-principal trumpet of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, performed ... as soloist
in Tchaikovsky's 'Dance Neapolitan.'
Najoom brought the warm
sound of a mezzo to the piece's lyrical passages and tossed off the piece's flashier bits
with ease." -- Elaine Schmidt
