Painting Jazz - The Martin Committee Trumpet

[bathopotatoes]

Awesome!

[amigomatt]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[SonicGem5]

man I want that horn

[cyberdaytona]

Just beautiful. Yes, that horn does want to play jazz... And that sound... Wow

[jazzadosa]

beautiful playing. wonderful horn. I own a '46 committee but I don't put in enough time to have the chops to play it. The Martin is tough to slot and intonate well. I can manage my Olds Ambassador somewhat. Actually rumor had it that Lee Morgan liked the Olds Ambassador. Thank you for the fine video.

Thanks for a nice tribute video to the Committee... I have a 1945 that I wouldn't trade for another trumpet that cost 4 or 5 times what I paid! The modern Leblanc-made version came close, but sadly, I understand they're out of prodution again. You have a great sound and beautiful approach to playing!

[mississippiowan]

What a great sound! You must have had a great teacher when you started playing the trumpet.

[Arborwaychet]

Well we are hoping you post more.

[chaoswolf13]

That sounds amazing, nice playing. I want a committee so bad now!

[joechidro]

FAVOLOSO! Great "vintage" sound.

Hi, that's the Handcraft he's playing throughout, yes. Kevin wanted to show the more modern aesthetic features on one of his Committees while he spoke about the later, more recognizable version of the horn.

[csemartin]

Was that the handcraft I was hearing the whole time? I noticed a different horn at 1:14.  Just curious....

[molecular360]

I want that solo! haha

[micodoso]

Kevin et sa superbe, tranche de vie, tranche d'époque, univers poétique, image bien léchée, son enveloppant... Ouaip! un autre chef-d'oeuvre! Toute une formation à distance pour l'inculte vivant en région!!! Ha! Ha! Bravo au génie derrière la caméra.

Hi, I think Kevin uses a Bach 5B.

Randy

[czamczak]

my god...love that tone...is it bach mouthpiece?

[wideangleman]

Hi, that is a Japanese military ribbon microphone, circa 1940. It's a very good copy of an RCA 44A.

Regards,

Randy

[andersonhall08]

curious... What microphones were used in making this?

[ceebeethree]

Great playing and story but I'm curious about something though; why did you choose to PLAY on a Handcraft but when talking, SHOW a regular Committee? I mean surely you knew SOMEONE would catch that lol. Take care and keep playing.

[emilywaiyeeleong]

Woo hoo! Way to go Kevin :)

[wideangleman]

Thanks Dustin, I hope to keep making 'em better!

Beautiful work, man.

[DustinLindenSmith]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching these videos. They're beautifully shot and recorded, and I love listening to Kevin talk about nearly anything. The last time I could listen to him in an extended fashion was when I took his Improv and Jazz Performance Practice classes at McGill in 1993; it's a nice treat to hear him in these videos now.

Keep up the great work, Randy!

[cyntheo60]

Sorry I missed you when you were in town. . .

[jazzforJamie]

Hí Kevin.

I agree! Keep Blowing!
