Wayne was born in January 16, 1958. He is 64 years old today.
His main playing style of music is jazz. He was lead trumpet in maynard ferguson's
Band in 1986. He also helped record soundtracks in movies like Despicable Me, Toy Story
3, Frozen, and Incredibles, he also plays the flugelhorn and has some amazing solos on some slow songs like
“laura” or “hospital blues”. He also played lead trumpet in Gordon Goodwin’s Big
Phat Band since the band was founded in 1999. He did not have and famous sibling or
family members although his brother was the leader of a drum core so that's what got him interested music. He
originally played french horn but his middle school was vandalized and his french horn was destroyed so he
switched to trumpet.
He was influenced and mentored by some great musicians like Bobby Shew and
Rick Baptist. There were other too but those are the most famous. He was
influenced by his middle and high school music teachers Ron Savitt and Bob Smith.
in middle school his two biggest influences were his band director and sammy nestico

where he would continue to be friends with and work with to this day.
He has contributed to so many disney movies and played with so many famous
big bands and artists. Again he played lead trumpet for the soundtrack for The
Incredibles, and over 400 other films. He is also known for his amazing ability to
play so well and clear in the upper register of he trumpet. When he first started
playing he realized he had a natural ability for playing very high.
These are some of the tunes I think best represent bergeron's playing
