Check the various www trumpet sites. Some places are swing and some are straight, as dictated by tradition. HOWEVER, the conductor is always right, as it is their personal interpretation and NOT yours...this trumpeter can do whatever he or she likes on a recital. In an orchestra, your opinion is of little relevance when in a dispute with the Music Director. Orchestral playing requires the "WE" attitude, not the "ME" one (if you ever want to get a gig, that is...).
