You dig it. I went to Maaloufs concert here in Paris. What a sublime sound. It made me pick up my trumpet again. After 30 years of not playing. Thank you for your videos.
היי מתן, שמי עומר קרמזין אני חצוצרן בן 22 מנגן 12 שנה ולאחרונה אני מנסה לתקן את הטכניקה (הייתי מנגן עם הפיה על החלק האדום של השפתיים) ועכשיו אני חווה קשיים לחזור לרמה שהייתי בה, אשמח אם נוכל ליצור קשר ותוכל לתת לי קצת טיפים, תרגילים ועצות איך להתקדם מפה. תודה😊
15 Jazz Trumpeters in my opinion. L. Armstrong, R. Eldridge, C. Terry, D. Gillespie, F. Navarro, K. Dorham, M. Davis, C. Brown, C. Candoli, A. Farmer, F. Hubbard, C. Baker, L. Morgan, D. Bolton and W. Shaw.
Rafael Mendez was likely the greatest trumpet player ever. It took him 5 years to perfect this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rYJMWRBq_hw.html There are 4 splices in this recording, but he could perform it while circular breathing. His sons said it would completely exhaust him and although it was a rare occasion, he did perform it in concert. The only players close to his technique are Vizzutti, Marsalis, and Nakariakov. In the 30s, Mendez led his own big band and the recordings are simply amazing. Before his horrible lip injury, his range was extraordinary, He and Harry James were good friends and admired each others playing.
You have the best explanation of airflow that I've ever seen. It has changed my playing instantly, and I have made a breakthrough that has been so dramatic. Thank you!!! Brilliant teacher you are.
Clifford Brown, Doc Severinsen, Bernie Glow, Lee Morgan, Al Porcino, Maurice Andre, Bud Herseth, Conrad Gozzo, Bill Chase, Maynard Ferguson, Don Thomas, Timofei Dokshizer
You have terrific names on your list, no doubt.But leaving out Tom harrell, Sean Jones, Byron stripling just to name a few. Arturo is not worthy of being in that list. He's improvisation does not impress me one bit. Very cocky and egotistical. Thanks for your video....
All the names you've mentioned are legendary players. Personally i've always admired Sean Jones, a player that inspires you to practice but also to quite the trumpet at the same time...
@@Eat.Sleep.Trumpet Here's my top 7 in no specific ordee: 1. Tom Harrell 2. Freddie Hubbard 3. Wynton M. 4. Miles Davis 5. Sean Jones 6. Clifford Brown. 7. Kenny Dorham
Dizzy, Maynard, and Blue Mitchell. I agree with your as to no level of ability order. Let's face it; t,here are and were great trumpeters. An excellent instrument - associated with the voice of God, the announcement of royal births, nations anthems, and honors for those laid to rest. Always a trumpeter.
Maynard Ferguson who started the RAGE OF EVERY TRUMPET PLAYER AND WAS ONE OF THE ONLY BAND LEADER WHO WAS ABLE TO OUT PLAY ANY MUSICIAN IN HIS BAND AND ON ANY INSTRUMENT 🎷 MAYNARD PLAYED EVERY INSTRUMENT ! MAYNARD PLAYED,VIOLIN,TUBA BARI SAX ,ALTO SAX PIANO, SOPRANO SAX , CLARINET HE WAS A GREAT ARRANGER, AND COMPOSER AND WAS A GREAT CLASSICAL PLAYER AND PLAYED WITH THE PARAMOUNT STUDIO ORCHESTRA PLAYING FOR BACKGROUND MUSIC OF ANY JANDRA AND KEPT BIG BAND MUSIC ALIVE AND FRESH AND WILDLY PLAYED LIKE "****THE MAN WITH A HORN 📯 WHO PLAYED LOUDER ,FASTER, GREATER, AND BEAUTIFUL BALLADS AND PLAYED WITH THE GREATEST BIG BAND,THE STAN KENTON ORCHESTRA ITS A DISGRACE NOT TO INCLUDE MAYNARD FERGUSON WHO COULD OUTPLAY ANY OF THAT TEN BEST 🎺 PLATERS ON THAT LIST ! AND IF THATGUY HAD A TOP TWENTY LIST, IAM SURE HE WOULD NOT INCLUDE "**** THE EXCITING MAYNARD FERGUSON THE MAN WITH A HORN****" HIGH ON A WINDY HILL AND MAYNARD WENT TO HEAVEN JOINED THE ANGEL GABRIEL AND MAYNARD FERGUSON BIG BAND WITH BUDDY RICH ON THE DRUM, AND VOCALIST ,FRANK SINATRA,MEL TORME,CHRIS CONNERS, AND PIANIST OSCAR PETERSON
Great list. I know this is your list but not sure how Dizzy doesn't make every top 10. Also, didn't know there were so many left-handed trumpet players. ;-) lol. Cheers.
Yes I can see how you (and clearly some others) feel about Dizzy's place here, him being such an innovator, educator, leader and super trumpet player... I will definitely make a special video dedicated to him sometime soon
Nice list. But you can't have Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard and not have Fats Navarro. It's your list, I get it.But you can't get any better than Fats. He smokes for sure 7 on that list.
I hate and love these subjective lists! I hate, because a lot of great trumpeters are made permanent in the jazz history. I love, because I recognize I need to listen forgot players. Special thanks for Ibrahim! He is a pioneer and traditionalist at the same time. I would like to recommend his album with the mali rapper, Oxmo Puccino. The title is: Au pays d'Alice. The genre is hip-hop and jazz, but I think it is more deeper, some kind of program music. Anyway, I split this question to the former and the actual players. For example this is my top10 former and active trumpeters: Former: Miles Davis, Roy Hargrove, Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, Bill Chase, Lee Morgan, Blue Mitchell, Louis Armstrong, Dizzie Gillespie, Woody Shaw Active: Wynton Marsalis, Terrence Blanchard, Arturo Sandoval, Nicholas Payton, Fabrizio Bosso, Lukas Oravec, Randy Brecker, Ibrahim Maalouf, Tom Harrell, James Morrison Many thanks for the topic! Of course I put the subscribe button :)
Desde puerto Rico, me gusta como interpretas y toca la nota, comencé a ver tus Videos, aunque no sé mucho inglés, me encanta tus ejercicios de trompeta
You are a very good communicator and obviously an expert on the trumpet. I would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts as you are an uninterested expert on my situation. I am 67 years old. At the age of 11 I joined my junior high school band and and learned to play the trumpet. The process was pretty much by self teaching as the professor spent very little time with each student. This process went on for three school years. During that time I was the best out of 15 trumpet players. This gave me a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Being the best out of 15, I came to the conclusion that this was probably the only real gift I had ever been born with. Life and family pressures and expectations immediately took me away from the Trumpet after those wonderful three years and I became an attorney. My passion for Trumpet and music in general never left me however. At least once a year I would pull up my Trumpet and I would play the same three or four songs that I loved as a child. Mostly Tijuana brass stuff LOL. After an hour or so that Trumpet will go back in the case and I wouldn’t touch it for another year or two. I am now retired. I found that the local university offers music major program, and I decided to begin this journey with the trumpet as my instrument. I must tell you that I haven’t felt this fulfilled in 50 years. That’s how long it’s been since I was in the junior high band. My concern is that because my goal is to become confident trumpet player that it may be too late to achieve that. When I am practicing the Arban’s exercises that require very quick scales, and or many accidentals like chromatic scales sometimes feel that my brain and my muscles will never improve to the point of becoming a competent trumpet player. Would love to hear your thoughts. I hesitated writing to you about all of this, especially since it’s so long and I’m sure you’re very busy but what the heck, my instinct tells me that you will help me. Keep up the great work!
First off I want to thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story. I am not an expert in the subject of playing the trumpet over different periods in life, but I can tell you for sure - never worry about things not coming your way at the speed you want them to. You can't hurry up a process. Make sure you have a professional, dedicated, and knowledgable teacher that can accompany in your studies, she/he will be able to diagnose what you can do to practice and develop in the most efficient way. One on one teaching is a key for trumpet players development, you never know what playing habits you have in you that could delay your progress, and perhaps you might be mistaking them for age related issues. Music is a journey, and by taking that journey again after many years you are nurturing something that you describe as a gift given to you. That's a gift you are giving to yourself, and that's beautiful. So maybe the journey itself is the goal here, or part of it at the very least.

Thank you so much for your prompt and very thoughtful reply. I do have a good trumpet instructor as part of the Bachelors in music curriculum I am enrolled in. He gives me 1 hour of individual instruction per week. I also have jazz band 2x per week, concert band 2x week, and required piano 2x week (piano proficiency is required for all music majors regardless of what their instrument is). I love all of this. It is most certainly a journey , as you say. By the way, I am old enough to be my teachers father and my classmates grandfather! In spite of this age and generational difference all of them have been extremely welcoming. A testament to the unifying power of music. I will keep you up-to-date on my progress. You might find it helpful for your blog. Thank you again for your encouraging words Matan. Frank.
Interesting list, but narrow based on styles. Jazz: Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Doc Severinsen. Screech: Maynard Ferguson, Cai Anderson, Leo Shepherd. Classical: Rafael Mendez, Alison Balsom, and, the one and only, Maurice Andre.
This is a ridiciulous list. Of course, Louis Armstrong, Clifford Brown, Miles, Roy, Wynton, and Freddie Hubbard belong. Other than that, he seems to be including mostly some friends and relatives nobody ever heard of.
:))) I promise I'm not related to Arturo Sandoval (Though I would defiantly be happy to be his friend!) But seriously, as I said in the video, it's just the guys who inspired me throughout the years, so obviously you might find some names there that aren't that familiar to you, and that's OK.
Wait, the only name he mentioned that isn’t a well known musician is Ibrahim, and maybe I’m just ignorant of his music. These are his personal favorites which are his to choose.
Chet is top of my list too. Technical gymnastics, lightening 16th note passages and extreme range I can take or leave but pure melodic playing like Chet's is straight from the Gods. If it were that easy then more people would do it.
I feel you! Lip slurs can be a lot... I recommend checking out my video about lip slurs - especially this part which talks about the right "feeling" for a lip slur, and how to do that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f8yJ2MQIMHY.htmlsi=6gSP5C7a5henke57&t=73 Otherwise I recommend checking out videos about breathing for trumpet, which can really help you with slurring later on. You can start here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ni8drm3ZkAI.htmlsi=UNjrgEUgAF7zxSaR In the future I will try to make a warm-up routine video without any slurs
