Amazing. I am 70 years old, only have my right arm and three years ago I bought a Trumpet and I am now able to read notes, and play along, still lots to do, but my spirit is very high, I practice three hours per day, rest and play. Since I am fighting with time, I have to practice as much as I can. I have a dream that some day I will be pretty good before I go to heaven. Thanks for such beautiful performance.

As a trumpet player it was interesting to see how Chuck used his tuning slides. It's rare to have an up close and personal video of the horn player. Thank you.......
Una tromba strepitosa!!!! Ma che bravo, bravo veramente. Dalle prime note, capisci subito che si è di fronte ad un Grande artista, di quelli che ti catturano la mente e l'anima per l'esecuzione, l'arrangiamento, l'interpretazione del brano come pochi sanno fare. E' davvero un Grande Artista internazionale, di quelli raffinati ed eleganti, da collocare fra i più Grandi del Firmamento musicale. I miei più sinceri complimenti. c.castellano, italia .A great trumpet !!!! But how good, really good. From the first notes, you immediately understand that you are dealing with a great artist, of those who capture your mind and soul for the execution, the arrangement, the interpretation of the song as few can do. He is really a great international artist, refined and elegant, to be placed among the greatest of the musical Firmament. My most sincere congratulations. c.castellano, italy

Ma bravi, bravi veramente. I miei complimenti. c.castellano, Italia .... but good!

he chose to chill on this song, justifiably so, but make no mistake, Chuck has a beautiful extreme upper register as well, listen to James Last-Nature Boy with Chuck soloing for an example
Erik Andreas Bonde: Excellent comment. Showing off on the trumpet at the expense of a beautiful ballad like this one drives me crazy. There is a place for improvisation, certainly one of the great attributes of Jazz but please don't trash the melody especially on something as beautifully written as The Shadow Of Your Smile. Chuck knew what he was doing on this one.
At 3:55 either he has really long legs or has his pants hiked wayyy up. That said.. Chuck Findley is just one of the best players out there and a class act. Love his stuff.
Should be much more trumpet in mix, with far less strings, and especially DRUMS in the mix. Drummer likes to hit CRASH cymbal. Wow. This is about Chuck, not the crash cymbal.
