[pattm12]

this guy came all the way to ohio and played Gonna Fly Now with my marching band and it gave me chills i was honored to be able to perform with somebody with such skill

[englwood47]

Tasty trumpet solo.

[pkingsleyisback]

im confusecd, why did they blur out the tenor sax on the close view?

[EAR47]

GO TROMBONES!!! Amazing solo. This is called "The Light at the End of the Tunnel" for all aspiring trombone improvisers.

[DiVeronica]

all band directors should be trumpet players! mine was!

[mikeasuraus]

same

[rafaelr9447]

mine too lol

[EAR47]

@DiVeronica I disagree - my band director was AWESOME and he was a long-time sax player.

Wonderful! I've enjoyed many a video to ATB here but this has one of the best audio although not the best video. One comment, leader Ed Morrison seems to rarely take a Jazz solo. Too bad, as here's the proof that here's another thing he can do & do excellently. Don't be so modest, Eddy; spread your wings and fly!

Oh,Howard....stop!

[leadtrumpet123]

Nice tight ensemble sound!!! Great support from the lead trumpet!!!!! Do you by chance have a copy of the lead trumpet part???

[itscodywoody]

Its not the lead trumpet playing the lead part. Its the solo trumpet playing Lead.

[billalma]

Actually, we both have lead lines. Solo part goes to a B and lead part to F#....

[bawno23]

Completely agree, lead trumpet plays most of the F#'s and the solo trumpet has the option of playing or laying out. Wayne usually lays out on the unison parts, but the G at the beginning is usually the solo part, but I think the lead part played it. Great lead trumpet playing on this video!
