1:25 I don't know much about trombones but cant they just use a trigger for that position, 7th right? it looks like they have the extra tubing for it.
James Morrison is one of the most insane musicians I've ever come across. He play trombone, sax, and I think flute just as well as he does trumpet...dude is so good.
I've heard this many times, but this is the first time I've seen it. They actually CUT THIS out of the broadcast in the USA.... a superhero performance and they showed commercials instead.
when james morrison saw all the music textbooks that said a C above the staff is the highest note in the trumpets range he said FUCK THAT IMMA SCREEEAAAM
Damn, I love Maynard but this knocks the poo out of his 1976 Olympic piece--which is said to have been lip-synched anyway. Australia 1, Canada 0, LOL...
always enjoy listening to James's fat ass sound! until i start reading the comments below. Man, 1/2 of you idiots are not schooled in the art of the trumpet. Don't put down someone until you have traveled around the world doing what he did in his life time and better.
Omg, i only know 2 trumpet players that can play that high that well. Arturo Sandoval and him. People think Maynard Ferguson is good...but his tone that high just isnt as good...not at all.
Maynard could do it in his early days. Arturo could never do it. Not enough control or short term endurance. However many lead players can do it. Ingram, bergeron, Craig Johnson, Mike Vax, Scott Englebright, Paul Cacia, and many more.
O.O You seriously just said that Artruro could never do it!? You obviously haven't heard many of his recordings. Like his version of Maria. Or theres a recording of him playing with Dizzy and he does some pretty sick stuff.
Yes I have heard them. He still lacks the control in upper register and endurance to play this all the way through. He could probably record it like everything else in short sections and different takes. Like he did on maria. It just a statement of fact. he deffinently could not do it today.
Which of the many trumpet players we were discussing are you referring to? I'm not bashing anybody, if arturo can't do it he can't do it. Thats all there is to it. Don't be retarded.
seriously, why are there so many knockers of James Morrison? The man is a legend and musical genius. Not just trumpet either. his piano skills are amazing I swear he could turn his hand to any instrument and dominate he is so talented.
@ TorgeirFausken: I've a played a concert with Tine last year and she is indeed a good player but not on the top! She has a nice sound but she also played some sh..t at the concert...
I hope we have something like this in the London Olympics and not some shit multi ethnic bollocks, dreamed up by a white middle class guilt ridden social worker.
am i the only one that has noticed that us girls don't play trumpets much? how come im like always the only girl trumpet? im the only girl trumpet in my whole skool! rawr it annoys me!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Men have too long dominated the trumpet-arena, but if you look up Tine Thing Helseth, you'll discover that women now are at the top (at least in tone quality and musicianship) when it comes to playing the trumpet ^^
I think it's because trumpets/flügelhorns etc. were used in armies and there weren't any female soldiers back then, so a trumpet became more of a male thing..
Sometimes I just put this on repeat it really means alot to me. Just got the ringtone for my phone too if u want it check it out at DownloadEveryTone . com #varialbes#

true a smaller mouthpiece helps but i can scream like this easy its not hard just move the air really fast and also practice lower notes it really helps to hit the higher notes i can scream so hi it sounds like dog whistles
Actually, I know a few adults that can scream like him. It's pretty amazing how they can play so crisp and in tune. The only difference is that they are becoming pretty old and can't hold those notes for how long morrison can.
hey raldyV...look up jazz trumpet giants...its a quad of arturo, morrison, fadis, and marsailis all playing trumpet...its really awesome...arturo plays using no mouthpiece at all 0.o
...that is possibly the most cleanest screaming i have ever heard...it sounds like hes having no problem at all or will ever have a problem lol...if you like this vid...look up arturo sandvol and dizzy gilespie...pure magic.
There is a large debate concerning small mouthpieces. A lot of people swear by them, but I know and have heard of others that can play double c's with large mouthpieces. However, no one can deny that, no matter what mouthpiece Morrison is using, he possesses a tremendous amount of skill.
Morrison does use a very small and shallow mouthpiece. Having said that, a smaller mouthpiece does help a bit, but mainly in getting a cleaner, brighter lead sound. It's not an easy way to instantly be able to scream, small mouthpieces can effect endurance, and can be harder to pitch notes on. They have their pros and cons.
ok yeah, what i said was a bit unrealistic... sorry about that, but look up "duke Ellington 1975" or "Steve Reid Trumpet High Notes" its a bit crazy how high they play, and you're right, to sustain it that long would be extremely difficult
in relation to how high it is, I've heard james play way higher than that, but there are people out there who could play the whole thing an octave higher, Cat anderson for one. but don't get me wrong the morrisons are sick
no problem... I did the thing where you sing the note and I just went over to the piano and found it. It is DEF a super E. I've just checked again now : )
Hehe which octave concert Bb are you talking about? If it's the 'top c' (in Bb trumpet speak) then that would sound verrrry low in this ;)
I can play that high easy, but I do have one of his "Morrison Digital Trumpets". 10 Octaves to play with. While it sound's awesomely realistic with a VL-70 and Patchman chip, it will never come close to the real thing. Thanks for this ultimate fanfare James. Aussie Aussie Aussie . . .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ha ha - yes, just like a fake diamond. While the real things are out of my reach (that is, diamonds and super high trumpet playing ) I can still enjoy a close replica. If I can fill in where those play around me cant, or if a specific instrument is needed (sax, cello, penny whistle, bass guitar etc), Im willing to be realistically fake to bring the music alive.
Its not the instrument or the player that makes music its the sharing of emotion through sound.
this is not fake ive seen this legend live twice he was goin just as high if not higher wen i watched him... u can play that high on a real trumpet u talkin bollocks
Are you talking about his stuff or the fanfare accompanying him? If you are taliking about his, I seriously doubt you could hit those notes mr youtube maestro... Most pros would find that very hard...
I can hit it and hold it - not with the same intensity and strenght, however i have as originally when at school the piece was chosen for a final presentation opening and i had to see if i was able to do it, it was decided it was far to much for me. Some people can play high and some can't. I am one who can, even though i have not touched a trumpet in about 2 years. I wish i took my music further, however i got into university and left music behind.
Why peopl argue about 'who's the best' is beyond me. All the players you mentioned are fantastic in their own right and are an inspiration to the rest of us. No one mentioned Allen Vizutti, Maynard, Clifford Brown, Dizzy, Arturo Sandoval, Alison Balsom...the list goes on of trumpeters that amaze and inspire us. Why argue who the 'best' is...just appreciate the fact we're able to hear these amazing musicians at the top of their game.
We were talking about sheer skill. Dizzy, Sandoval and Alison Balsom don't even belong into that discussion. I don't deny Marsalis is a special trumpet player, and his playing displays tremendous skill, but if you listen to his and then to Nakariakovs recordings, you can't tell me with a straight face that Nakariakov doesn't have more skill. Nakariakov is doing things with the trumpet no one else has ever done before.
Um, all that stuff wasn't played live. It was all pre-recorded. interesting note, the Sydney Symph was there miming along to a track the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra recorded :)
Yes it was pre-recorded, but my understanding is that James Morrison is playing with John Morrison's Swing City band with kids chucked in for good measure. Maybe some of the players there are from the Sydney Symphony but i know the trumpet player in red that is on James Morrisons right is in Swing City, and i believe so are most of the other players
nah. Miles is defenitly the most influential but he was great for his righting and his style. But sheer skill. Marsalis hands down. Get the full version of him playing carnival of vence like 7 min. Listen to the whole thing. At one point he plays so fast that it sounds like there a two guys and one is accompianing. It's almost note for note the FLUTE!! version. Amazing.
you nub you would say that. Just cuz thats all they can do doesn't mean anything. Wynton is way cleaner and his tone is much better. If you can't hear the difference then ur dumb
just now. There's no one that has better tone, especially in the lower register, than Nakariakov. He's way better in finger dexterity and toungueing as well.
mate wynton is good but i'm afraid there's no beating andre or eklund... or hardenberger. sure, wynton can play some pretty impressive stuff but for an actual performance he's nowhere near the top x
By far my favorite part of the opening ceremony. just a shame that sir william dean in his declartation mixes his words and hits the mic. overall best olympics ever!

Listen to the whole thing. At one point he plays so fast that it sounds like there a two guys and one is accompianing. It's almost note for note the FLUTE!! version. Amazing.

sheer skill? Wynton cannot beat the best classical trumpeters like Nakariakov and Hardenberger.

you nub you would say that. Just cuz thats all they can do doesn't mean anything. Wynton is way cleaner and his tone is much better. If you can't hear the difference then ur dumb

just now. There's no one that has better tone, especially in the lower register, than Nakariakov. He's way better in finger dexterity and toungueing as well.

mate wynton is good but i'm afraid there's no beating andre or eklund... or hardenberger. sure, wynton can play some pretty impressive stuff but for an actual performance he's nowhere near the top x
