【It Don't Mean A Thing】Warren Vache Cornet/Trumpet solo (Transcription) inB♭ 

I attended the annual NY Brass Conference for Scholarships religiously when I was very young. one year, (1984?) Black Dyke Mills band came to NY to perform. It goes without saying, they were amazing. They took a long intermission and during this break Warren Vaché and (I think it was) the guitarist Joe Puma came on stage and played the most extraordinary 30 minutes of music I've ever heard. They sounded like an entire band, just the two of them. Joe would comp, play walking bass lines, fills and solos. He would finger style(?) accompaniment and bass simultaneously. Warren would play melody, harmony, counter melody, background licks, solos. It was out of this world! I'll never forget how great that experience was and I'm so glad I was in the audience when it happened. If memory serves, Warren also forgot his cornet that day so he borrowed a student model Yamaha from the exhibition rooms. It wasn't even his own axe and yet he managed to hit it out of the park. (this cornet story may have been from a different year where he still blew the walls down).

Це, Дуже, Дуже Круто!!! Неперевершено!!!Реально!!! Слава Богу!!!💙💛💙💛💙

Warren is still my favorite and most sensitive jazz player. Style is unmatched nowadays.

I thought I never needed to hear this song again, but man, this guy put new life in it! What a player!

I´ve always loved Warren´s playing, and the pianist is great too!

It doesn't get any better than this. Period.

Bloody hell, that is great cornet playing! Thanks for the transcription! It shows how chops, brain, experience can work together to create something traditional yet entirely fresh and original.

Great🎉

Vache is a giant of his instrument.

Genius. The absolute best improviser. Period!

Very impressive solo

Holy cow! This was a great solo. Thanks mr Vache

The crispness articulation and accuracy of this solo are outstanding ✨️🥹🎺👌🏾🎶🎼🎹. Never heard of this guy before , but surely there are quite of few masters of the trumpet/Cornet

Very tasty.

Great inspiration for improv

The statement should have read---Who Said Cornets Don't Sing. great rendition.

A great cornet player!

CLEAN! And a little dirty at the same time. Holy crap!

Just brilliant!

Awesome musician!

so beautiful! I'm going to learn this for sure.

magnifique!

lots of years of practicing chords and scales. sounds fantastic!!

this happens, if tremendous instrumental skills come together with taste ❤ And - by the way - Warren has studies his ARBAN 😉

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Классно

who said don't sing---great rendition.

What is the Name of the Second Trumpet? What Type or Class of Trumpet is it? Warren Vache, I have your Tutorial DVD. I learned to Play All the Notes of the Trumpet from the Lower F Sharp to the 2nd Octave High C, just as you did in the Video. You Played the "Battle of the Republic " and you Toured the Yamaha Facility where they Manufacture Trumpet. Thanks for being my Inspiration and a Wonderful Teacher.

Belo.

I have played both Trumpet and Cornet and I actually like playing Cornet a lot more but I don’t get why it’s not used as much because I think it’s better than Trumpet in many ways. One of them being that you can get a Cornet with a first and a third valve trigger kicker, which you look cannot get on a Trumpet (or at least as far as I know). Also Cornet has a warmer and more mellow sound and stuff because it’s a conical instrument. I also think that the E-Flat Soprano Cornet is cool too (but it really should be called the Sopranino Cornet in my opinion because that seems more fitting to me considering that it’s more in Sopranino range than Soprano range lol)

A real professional. Really nice from beginning to end.

Not my style, but excellent technique. I can respect that !

how does he like know all the key changes tho and like what notes to play. Im kinda new to jazz theory

What is the model name of this trumpet?

La mano izquierda.

...his playing has something in common with James Morrisons playing.

That’s a cornet solo, not a trumpet solo.

Fabulous - but poor camera work.....
