Cameradschaft
The duo Cameradschaft features two outstanding musicians who possess an enormous amount of talent and extensive backgrounds. Co-founders, Dave Turnbull (trumpet) and Dave Jarvis (percussion), perform a wide variety of music from almost every era. The duo is currently producing a compact disk featuring music from the Baroque to contemporary jazz.
The term Cameradschaft literally means comradeship. In the 17th century, it referred to a privileged Roman Imperial fellowship: The Imperial Guild of Trumpeters and Kettledrummers, formed in 1623 by virtue of Imperial Privileges granted by Ferdinand II.
