Panamanian trumpeter Victor Vitin Paz
Victor “Vitín” Paz, considered by many to be the greatest lead trumpeter player of the modern era, died on April 3 at his home in Panama City, Panama. He was 89.
His death was confirmed by his close friend and student Ronaldo Whittaker.
Known for his technical virtuosity, soaring timbre and uncannily precise time feel, Paz was the most sought-after lead trumpeter of his time. The tally of his recording dates and live performances numbers in the thousands. As Wynton Marsalis wrote in 2015: “His tone is golden, attack pristine, accuracy and consistency definitive, and his ethics and integrity unsurpassed.”
