Chicago, IL - March 2008 … As a freelance trumpeter who doubles on flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet, Carlo Isabelli has carved out a unique niche in the world of pop music. For the past twelve years, he has toured with the Buckinghams, a popular 60‘s-era band that experienced enormous radio popularity in 1967 when they released Kind of a Drag on the USA Records label. Since that time, he has become a common fixture on the revival circuit, performing with Gary Pucket and the Union Gap as well as Tommy James and the Shondells plus Rob Grill and the Grassroots. Further, he has appeared on stage with adult contemporary artist Michael McDonald and also performs with Chicago‘s High Society Orchestra. In addition to being a solid player, Isabelli is also one who knows how to engage his audience, and the freedom of movement he achieves with his MIPRO wireless system makes it all possible. more
