[baribabe17]

@bigeyezzzzzzz You're my hero =]

[trumpetvids]

Great to see this.

[DiegoRosaleslll]

im playing this in jazz band and i was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how 2 try 2 reach that upper register? please help

[TitanticFAIL]

If i might ask, how often do you practice? As in, how man hours a day?

[bigeyezzzzzzz]

@TitanticFAIL Usually between 3-4 hours per day currently. But when this video was made, it was more like an hour a day. It's really cool looking back at this 3 yr. old video -- especially after just sitting in with Tower of Power in concert last month!! The video is linked to the video above!!

Wow, listen to the kid! He sounds great!

[meecarocheep]

He is now my trumpet teacher too, and he plays with my, well not MY, jazz band almost every morning. He plays the trombone

[valann54]

He was great in high school that I do remember. I went to Mission San Jose High in 1967 through 1969 before he was with Tower of Power. Mic and Judy would hang out with us at the park back in 1967-1968. Not surprsing that he is so famous now.

[marcs1130]

where can i find that music???

[bigeyezzzzzzz]

It's called "You're Still A Young Man", and it's easily found by doing a sheet music search.

[Mnewman50]

Where can i find the sheet music

[odamoy]

the notes are

A G F C, A G F C D C, C A Bb, F D C A Bb, Bb C D E

Hope that helps. O and note that the first F is the one at the top of the staff and the second F is the octave higher

[odamoy]

sorry third F is octave higher, first and second are the top of the staff

[darkNlovely741]

...i also study with Mic, and I can say that he really is an incredible player on any horn that he uses (I play bass bone, and that is what he is teaching me...his sound is holy shit good, and he's a terriffic teacher)
