The trumpeter who played the background music
11 December 2001 | by (Wellington, Florida) – See all my reviews

The trumpet music that was heard in the movie 'Cowboy' was performed by Rafael Mendez the 'World's Greatest Trumpeter' of his day. Mr. Mendez, also had a small on camera appearance as the trumpeter in the cantina where he played 'El Gitano' which he also composed.
