I studied with Jay Thomas for a while, Chet Baker came to Jay's house and stayed there for a while with nothing but the clothes on his back and a paper bag. Inside was just a toothbrush and a trumpet mouthpiece. The stories I heard and the recordings I heard were incredible, one of my favorite trumpet players hands down.
She learned it by ear and plays it back. It's a fun process as you start hearing lines that you can just play because it's built the same way another one is. Basically jazz is fucking awesome
wow, that's much harder than it sounds like, getting the smooth transitions and the timing right in a Chet Baker tune takes years....really impressive..
@@stuartcombie8736 I started playing in 6th grade and really wanted to quit in 7th grade (mostly because the teacher was really awful) but was afraid I'd dissapoint my parents so I didn't and now I've been playing for almost seven years and I'm so glad I didn't quit
@@mandylatimer1607 I was lucky, my first band teacher was a trumpet player. I played through high school and then stopped. Picked it up 42 years later and I’m am so glad I did!
@@mandylatimer1607 @stuart combie I'd love to play a bronze and trumpet looks really good but after seeing how hard it is for the mouth, I don't think my bruxism would let me :( so i'm keeping up with the guitar! let's see if i can master it

@@the_good_fam7873 Not really. Assuming that we’re talking about concert baritones here, marching euphoniums have a bigger bore and are bell forward like a trumpet. The euphonium is also conical unlike the cylindrical baritone.
Marina, I remember watching this video three years ago. I have come back to it occasionally. You have inspired me and after three years, I bought a trumpet today! Thanks for uploading!
This is fantastic. Love the tone but even better is how you can see you're really feeling it with your eyes closed and everything. Chet would be proud to see this cover. Bravo!!!
Sounds beautiful .. I love Chet Baker and I love when other people like yourself see what is beautiful and soulful about Chet Baker .. Thank you for keeping jazz alive in the 21st century 🙏🙏🙏
I saw this video 1.5 years ago when I first started playing jazz its crazy to think im so invested now but mid 2022 is really when I started to enjoy and start listening
SO SO GOOD!!! I'm a fellow trumpet player and it's so nice to see another girl playing so beautifully (as my whole trumpet section are all guys)! Your clarity and tone are absolutely stunning also!!!!!! Love you!
I discovered this version thanks to Spotify and I fell in love instantly. It was one of the few songs that got me interested in playing again. This solo is a gem and you played it really well 👍💪
You're doing a lot of things right. Nice tone, hand position, 3rd-valve slide use, great embouchure, airstream, and I love the half-valve scoop. The best thing, however, is your choice of artist to listen to. Keep it up.
@@timeisnow7676 Good for you. I never questioned your credentials, which sound exceptional. You questioned mine, about which you know nothing, and are incorrect.
@@timeisnow7676 Hello my friend. I don't know why you are choosing to attack me, but I will tell you that you are wrong in assuming that I have no musical credentials. I'm glad that you have learned a Berkeley level (although I think you may mean Berklee, as in Berklee College of Music in Boston) sight reading and training. And I'm glad that you and your friends went on to play professionally. But I think you may be slightly jealous of any accolades that this young lady gets for her diligence to practice the solos of the great Chet Baker. Yes, I'm not a trumpet player, but I have taught band for over 40 years and know how to critically analyze the techniques of all intermediate musicians from percussion to string, woodwind and, yes, even brass players. I have also taught Jazz history and jazz band in a college for 20 years as well as leading my own band for over 30 years. In my career as a teacher and professional musician I have had the good fortune to share the stage with many musical luminaries, some of them trumpet players, probably much like yourself. The ones I am the most proud of meeting and playing with are Mic Gillette of Tower Of Power, Clark Terry, whose embouchure is beyond reproach, and Dizzy Gillespie, whose embouchure is questionable but whose skill and ability is magnificent, and even Maynard Ferguson. I know good trumpet playing when I see/hear it. The young lady in the video does many things well. Does she do them great? No, not yet. But as an educator I chose to compliment her on the things she is doing correctly and not treat the comment section as a forum to criticize her. Mostly, I like that she is listening to Chet Baker and not getting sucked into trying to play high and fast, a slippery slope many young trumpet players find themselves on that could lead to bad habits and mediocre playing. I'm sure you will attack me again, but I won't bother to reply. Nothing I have said attacks you or your credentials. Nor is anything I've said untrue. But, once again, it is "you're." It's a contraction of the words "you" and "are." "Your" is possessive. As in, "You're barking up the wrong tree when you impugn my integrity as a musician. Your scorn is misplaced and ill advised. Good day my friend and the best of luck to you in your pursuit of a degree to better you situation.
Oh my God!! I fall in love too easily with this girl: great trumpet player, Chet Baker Covers, Beauty, I love her closed eyes when she plays... she is just like an angel.
I got this by recommendations from YT..... I Just want to say thank you! even though you are playing over the recording, I could feel the meaning of that musical part, it was wonderful! Thanks! and Nicely done! it was awesome!
Wonderful playing. Thank you. I love Chet. About 30 years ago I went to the Prinz Hendrick hotel where he died. His brand of music is very unique and magical. He was a very special person, and so was his music. You really did him justice with your playing. Thank you for posting.
I learned it on bass guitar in Bb and use the solo whenever I play the song with a good singer. Its a great solo. Chet lived here in San Jose, CA for several years around 1970 and I played with him during that time and even recorded some tunes with him.
Hey, I just wanna say that it really sucks that you get so many creepy comments. I also wanna say that this sounds absolutely fire. I've been playing jazz on the piano for about a year and this is really motivating. Keep on grooving
I plays the sax but i ran inmediatley to my friend to tell him this glissando technique of sliding the ring of your left hand impressive its flattening the note! Im hooked up on this !
I subscribed to your channel. So organic, salt of the earth presentation. Just what we need in this crazy world in these times. Really love and appreciate you. I’ll take this as my Valentines gift from you. Happy Valentines!❤️
I thought the title was "I fell in love with too easy Chet Baker trumpet solo" and when the video started I was like "but it sounds difficult enough ha?"
