Getting Creative with Trumpet Mutes in Jazz 

These kinda sounds are the only reason I really wanna learn to play trumpet.

Where the hell did you get the giant monopoly piece!?!

I didn't care about trumpet mutes until exactly this moment, but now I need to know EVERYTHING about them.

This guy just casually used a piano as a table for his mutes... very musical indeed

I am convinced there are folks who just thumbs down for the heck of it.... REALLY!! this is amazing content.

Why my brain feel nostalgic about tom and jerry

This makes me feel like I’m a detective in the 20s trying to crack a case

Fantastic video! Not only good for trumpet players, but for writers or arrangers to familiarize themselves with the palette of tones available from muted trumpet. Many thanks!

the halloween cup one just sounds like it can sing "What a wonderful world"

As a kid who wasn’t encouraged to continue music bc, ‘what kind of paying career can you get with music’ being the common refrain. These videos are helping so much. Many, many thanks.

I have heard all of these complementing accessories in one or the other Tom and Jerry episodes. Miss those days!

I played for about 4 years of middle/high school, then let it go, I wish I hadn't.

Great video! I was most surprised by the derby mute on a stand. Thank you for sharing your time & talent!

I enjoyed the video. It was very informative. I saved the stem of my Harmon mute. I used a cup few times when playing. I have an aluminum Jo-Ral wah wah mute. I seldom use it because I hardly play open horn because the neighbors don't like it. My favorite wah wah mute I have is the Country Crock butter tub I have. Most times I just use my Yamaha Silent Brass mute because of the neighbors. This is why I don't play my alto sax often either.

This is the most amazing content. My eldest daughter asked about learning trumpet. Oh 😳 I am imagining you WAY back and while learning. 🤣🤣😭.

I just realised this is literally what I do when I cover and uncover my phones microphone with my mouth, Im pretty sure im manipulating the sound by covering it and by changing the shape of my mouth. Thats pretty cool, I hope im not the only one that has done this

Hi John. David NieKamp here. Nice to see you're still playing! Still sounding great

Thanks for sharing. I love this sessions

1:05 now I realize Louis Armstrong had a cup in his mouth, awesome!

This is super great. Thanks. I've been teaching music for 20 years, and I just sent this link to a parent of one my students. You're concise.

I know it's a completely different instrument, but this makes me think of how I was watching random Tiny Desk performances one day & ran across this one guy playing a sax with a full-sized traffic cone in it. It was definitely an experience to say the least! 😬 Haha.

the thing i like about this guy is he doesn't just go "wow did this (dude nobody prob heard of) play the harmon mute so well you have no idea how it sounded" naw dude show me how it sounded, and he did.

This was very fun to watch. It reminds me of when my family and I walked New Orleans :)

Is his name of Swedish descent? It sure sounds alot like the name was Jan-Erik Källsö before it being anglicized. Just a thought!

The tin hat is my favorite (though the plunger is my second favorite xD). Clint Baker used that thing to get an INSANE swell on his trumpet solo when he and Katie Cavera's band were playing You're Driving Me Crazy at the Hot Jazz Jubilee in CA.

This is some sick playing honestly 🎺

I played for 7 years, was really good at it too, still remember the name of my mentor. Have barely played since.

Thanks , brilliantly explained and demonstrated.

1:05 congratulations, I'm dead

Had a huge smile on my face watching it lol

Wow nice extended barrels and suppressors for trumpets

thanx..I luv the small plunger sound at 4:22>4:24..jst bot a large plunger ..never used 1..when i did a single with organ..electric piano & Benge Pocket Trumpet..(my Baptist church folk) intonation probs of korse..had a barcus berry stuck through the mouthpiece in2 the cup. drilled it myself (not recomended)..used a harmon mute..added echo..u play/teach very well .subcribing...76 yrs play with net & TV music every day..fortunately my condo neighbors work Take very good care of your teeth..every 6 mo.bro..I have uppers & lowers (2 pins)..itz possible.

LOVE IT! thanks for the tips

Great video Great technique Simple and easy to understand

Great video, and absolutely fantastic techniques. Thank you!

Thank you so much for all these wonderful stuff.

With the Dennis Wick, just pull out the black 'straight mute', and put it back in the 'cup' part backwards. Makes a perfect plunger esque sound.

HE IS AMAZING!!!

the hair tye is genius

that trumpet is gorgeous

Sensational....💖

Thank you, sir.

Not sure how I got here…. Glad I arrived :)

I love it.

Tom Hanks if he'd become a trumpet master

🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🫂😎😎😎 Salute from Dominican Republic

Awesome video ... Thank you !

more knowledge about music,NICE : )

Omg this sounds amazing :D

This Video brings me happiness 🔥❤️

Can you do this with trombone?? That would be amazing!

Can you use a rice cooker pot as an alternative to do the Wah Wah?

Great video!

You're listening to Diamond City Radio

Just read abt. the Pudgy..Puje I would luv2 hav1...bc i play 1 handed with keys thnx 4 info.

i literally have that exact pumpkin cup and its alwas dirty, surreal seeing it in a video

Now i know how the fallout songs achieved those cool effects

I was smiling and laughing watching this whole video :)

Gracias Jon. Eres un Capo ..!!!

Brilliant

You can here his wedding ring clanking on the mutes

i really think that the first one in the hystory simply used his hat, no cup no things... and then started to try different objects, but ofc as during that time hats were super common, its pretty easy to assure it.

Love the sounds I have an old aluminum derby with the stand connector I am looking for a stand Anyone know of?

I want this guy's embouchure

That is beauty

Its just sooooo cool =D

verry cool sounds!

That halloween cup sounds like Louis Armstrong on na na na na

Great!

RU-vid algorithm never failed

Excellent 👏

I liked this

Man!! I miss Louis armstrong!!😖❤️🔥

so that is were that peanuts parent sound effect comes from!

This gives me Tom & Jerry vibes from when i was a kid, awesome.

nice video, dang he is good!

damn this guy is good

amazing !

Sugar Blues was from 1931 and 1935

As a percussionist and not a brass player this is interesting

He has really good tone, he could probably play a lot of more classical solos.

104 dislikes are the people who dont lime jazz lol

In my orchestra we use plunger thingies from the toilet plunger

Ellington like this

Who in the world would throw out the stem. I dont have any mutes and I play mostly woodwinds like contra-alto clarinet and sax. But I have a trombone and euphonium. But why throw out the stem. It could be very usefull!!

This cat swings!

Did anyone else think of trumpet tips when we pulled out the cup?

So this is the first wah pedal

Where's is the video he is talking about?

Anyone else feel nostalgic for bioshock now

Thanks RU-vid

What do i search to find music like this?

yo i know the exactly recording hes talking abt for the harmon mute its johnny mercer’s recording of sugar blues on accen-chu-ate the positive

1:36 sounds like aftershock

only if i could play the trumpet..

Cool

but can you wear that bad boy and whip it out when you're jammin in new orleans?

plungers are instruments too

I came looking for copper and found gold

🎉❤
