  • OHSHIT circular breathing?

  • pretty sure its a Getzen genesis

  • good player, could use less ego

  • I love the awkward sax at 4:05 lol

  • what kind of trumpet is that?

  • @zatch155 looks like a Monette trumpet..

    but it could also be a replica:)

  • @zatch155 Its an Edwards Gen 3X. But, its a Monette mouthpiece. Trombone Shorty is an Edwards artist so both his instruments are Edwards.

  • AKIN A DAMN FOOL!!!!!!!! PLAY BOY!!

  • He looks a little bit like vin diesel,but in black.

  • its called circular breathing you jebbend.

    

  • the only problem is the cheek puffing

  • @egreentheking i play brass instruments too, and i get that's bad technique, but honestly it shouldn't matter if it's groovin. Dizzy puffed his cheeks. That doesn't mean he wasn't groovin, and he was one of the best.

  • @xRetroismx dont talk shit. he puffs cheeks cuz he doesnt stop playing while he breathes. cant you see???

  • @xRetroismx i wonder what his face gonna look like later in life due to his bad technique

  • @xRetroismx wow really... he puffs his cheeks because he is circular breathing so its continuous jesus... do you really play a brass instrument

  • @egreentheking obviously he's trying to breath hence the longest thrill i e er heard yeah and it is a bad technique but just cuz yo had 2 trumpet classes and they taught you a certain technique dont give any name call trumpet master so dont you EVER do it !!!

  • @ilyanna011 I KINDA GET THAT BUT WHAT I DONT GET IS THE 2 TRUMPET CLASSES PART JUST TO LET U KNOW IVE BEEN A TRUMPET PLAYER FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I WONDER HOW LONG U HAVE PLAYED #SMH

  • @ambroom im a woodwind player. Its pretty amazing but I found it a bit much.

  • a funky groovy version of minnie the moocher!

  • dam dat trumpet!!! me want!

  • I was enjoying this vid, right up until the circular bullshit started at 2:10

  • Is that song a very altered cover of Minnie the Moocher or something?

  • his circular breathing is amazing

  • He sure can play trumpet for being a trombonist :0 aand on a monette!

  • @suazobomber Not a Monette, actually. An Edwards Gen3x. Still a nice horn though. Edwards makes some good stuff.

  • @starwf07 could be a getzen genesis 3003 :p even though they are the same thing lol. I am keen to get my hands on one to see what they go like have not seen one in Aus but :(

  • Circle Breathing like a bawss!

  • i will be at his concert this weekend...gotta..AMAZING!!!

  • the guy looks like a frog!:D

    great solo!!!

  • OMG! the technique is sooo owesome, wondering my band do the same as well, hopefully someday, LOL

  • 대단한 트럼펫터 입니다.

  • I say him yesterday in Quito- Ecuador. He is awesome. The Mles Davis of this generation.

  • I don't even..

  • Wow , Incredible!!!

  • Dat circular breathing!

  • es una trompetagetzen genesis con una boquilla monette???

  • 2:08 - 3:44

    I went through about 20 boxes of tissues....

  • Who found that kinda annoying?

  • @lethallama15 You don't play the trumpet do you? Cuz if you did you would find it incredible,

  • @ambroom @calderonlarrea Incredible? New Miles Davis? Ridiculous.... His singing is mediocre, the call and response from Minnie didn't really work in this tune. His trumpet playing is average, the only bit worthy of note being perhaps the half valve lip dexterity at 6:25. That circular breathing "solo" was just boring, and it's not like it's a difficult technique. I can do it just as well on a trombone, which is more difficult due to the larger bore and extra air required.

  • @pritstick94 The idea of a solo is that it sounds good, not that the audience think "Wow. This is getting kinda old now." In fact, the only interesting thing about this performance was that awesome horn, a Monette Prana Ajna I believe. Wanna see some truly incredible trumpet playing? watch?v=7k_g22f8a9Y Any one of those players is technically better by far. And as for comparing him to Miles Davis? watch?v=td3SE3zEVP0 Listen to that and then say it again....

  • @pritstick94 Aren't you something special? You think I haven't heard incredible trumpet players?? Everyone considers different styles good, and this IS impressive, whether it sounds good or not. Nor did I compare him to Miles Davis... idk if the other guy you tagged did. You CAN NOT say this is EASY to do. it's not like one just starts playing an instrument and pulls music like this out of their ass.

  • @ambroom That comment was to the other guy, who said he was "The Miles Davis of this generation." And no, I don't consider myself "something special" as you put it. I'm grade 8, but it's just a hobby. I know that I'm no where near as talented as this guy or any professional musician. But it IS true that circular breathing is easier on a smaller instrument - and I'm confident that anyone could pick up the techinque in a day or two, and sound just like this guy.

  • @pritstick94 For this reason, I didn't find it impressive in any way - and neither would anyone watching it who realised a) that he WAS doing a 'trick' (ie. didn't have ridiculous lung capacity) and b) that, really, there's nothing to it.

  • @pritstick94 well pats i dont see you on youtube performing live playing your own songs and making money i see someone who wishes they could be where he is right now and ovbiously someone had to find it special and unique or you would be where he is son tkae youR " ridiculous lung capsity" and be the amzing trumpet player that you are and claim to be (please detect my sarcasm)

  • @ilyanna011 There's so many things wrong with this comment I don't even know why I'm bothering to reply.

    1) "your own songs"? Search for it on Wikipedia...

    2) If you had actually read my comment, nowhere did I say that I (or he) had "ridiculous lung capacity". I said that the circular breathing he does is a) an easy trick and b) means you don't NEED a lot of breath. It's not impressive at all. Like I said, my playing is nothing special, yet even I find cuircular breathing easy

  • @pritstick94 And as to the first part of your comment; yes, there's videos of me playing on YouTube (no, not on my channel); no, I don't play professionally, although I have made about a £1000 playing trombone, which is not bad for a 17 year old.

    And whenever I've played jazz or blues gigs, I can tell you I would never bore the audience by doing the same cheap trick for nearly a full minute in a solo. Any musicians or people with half a brain in the audience would agree...

  • my god that is incredible

  • Man I'm 17 years old I play trumpet and kinda know how to play nearly all of their songs but that one long circle breathing solo... yea I want to do that I know It's difficult but hey CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

  • This is the kinda of band I want to join some day, everyone is so damn proud of what they are doing. CIRCLE BREATHING IS A BITCH TO LEARN

  • 2:11 white people...

  • @TheGWalka LMAOOO

  • @TheGWalka we are everywhere and we want all yer stuff for ourselves MWAHAHAHAHA. didnt you know we are entitled to everything we want, even if its yours! praise white jesus, and ronald reagan!!!

  • @BigDave1125 Haha I'm white dude

  • i play trombone

  • Him puffing his cheeks was really scary....I'm gonna have some nighmares tonight...

  • his tone must suck if he has to puff his cheeks like that

  • @prt1667 google Dizzie Gillespie

  • @prt1667 Its called maintaining circular breathing at dynamics louder than piano.

  • Press 3 lol

  • what was that last high note he played?

  • @littleofeverything1 sounded like A below double C. Kinda average range for a college age trumpeter. But the breathing trick was impressive!

  • 10 people like Justin Bieber.

  • super et avec la trompette plaquée OR en plus

  • dat circular breathing.

  • Comment removed

  • BRAVO great display

  • Great display of circular breathing!!!!

  • Que pulmones los de este hombre.....wowwww

  • definately another maynard ferguson

  • Everything about this is fantastic!

    But what is up with those silly glasses?

  • oh look... he can circular breath and play a lot of notes...

  • @bassbonemh I guess you didn't watch the rest of the video, because the man has some chops.

  • One of the best musicians/performers on the scene

  • this is so sick

  • Troy Andrews hat ne geile Karriere vor sich!!!!!

  • It's cool and all that you can do circular breathing, but doing it for over a minute and a half is a bit excessive and I probably would have gotten bored or confused if I was there.

  • his cheeks are going to explode one day,

  • Circular Breathing from 2:09-3:44 ridiculous

    

  • circular breathing, lesson 1

  • man that was wikid...

  • Isn't that a trumpet? not a trombone?

  • @gasmaskboi19371945

    he plays both

  • Ich liebe ihn einfach...werde bald auf ein Konzert gehen.Hoffentlich is er dann genauso geil xDD

  • Circular Breathing.

  • omg yes!! i always thought minnie and st. james were so similar haha

  • Someone give the drummer some! Man he's grooving, and he knows it! F*cking awesome.

  • @Greggallagherdrums darn right

  • wowowowowowowowowow

  • @TheMrElambia @jdbnomad This has nothing to do with jealously. The band is grooves like hell, and Shorty is a great player. The problem is that I am bothered when people take music that should be a great artform and redefines it as a stunt to be ooooed and awwwwed at. That's not the reason we should be playing; so that people can be impressed with our physical abilities. It's shallow, narcissistic and completley misses the purpose of music. You don't have to agree, but that's how I feel.

  • I am just disappointed in myself that I am just NOW hearing this! Luv seeing a real brass man make it!

    I'd like to buy the band a beer!

    And @Tromebonepenguin, man, if you aren't impressed by this you have NO soul... ohh yea, and you're a tool. =)

  • 10 peole are jalous

  • Music shouldn't be a circus sideshow. Not Impressed.

  • @trombonepenguin you are just jelous my friend..everyone can do want comes in their mind on stage,.if you are afraid to doit is your own problem.

  • No, but seriously, folks. It's supernatural. He will be making music when we're all dead.

  • Comment removed

  • how...the..fuck?

  • I hope he never looks himself in the mirror and does that...

  • longest. circular. breathing. ever...

  • หีดีหี หีดีหี ดี หี้

  • drummer's having an orgasm....

  • 2:10-3:44 omg

  • @CharlieRutan made me feel like a fail trumpet player...

  • @CharlieRutan how he done this?

  • @MsDonni123 inhalin while hes exhalin :) aint that great?

  • <3

    and I'm a dude

  • Does he actually say "With a Playstation 3, and a PSP" at 1:24?

  • That was CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it Shorty!!!!

  • Oh My God!

  • what kind of mouth peice is that?

  • @nperkins5  I think it's a Monette trumpet, looks like a Prana Ajna, so probably also a Monette mouthpiece

  • @VBach15C ah thanks man

  • @VBach15C Actually i think thats a getzen genesis. because of the look screw thing by the end of the lead pipe. Which is a feature of the getzen genesis that lets you change the lead pipe and bell.

  • is he a wizard or something ????? is it even possible to circula breath ?

  • @joshrisen17 Yes, it is very possible. Lots of trumpet players can. Or, if you ever go Down Under (australia)and watch people play the Dijeridoo (spell check?). That instrument is based around circular breathing. Pretty cool though.

  • Circular breathing errrr!

  • You misspelled trombone in the description...

  • O melhor dos melhores...

    

  • Rape so hard... god damn circular breathing!

  • @papertoss, I think it's a Getzen Genesis.  Still sweet.

    getzen.com/trumpet/genesis/300­3.shtml

  • mi god

  • at 2:12-3:42 ....fuck him

  • I thought it was TROMBONE shorty?

  • So is this guy like the master of trombone and trumpet?

  • He can actually play....?

  • Comment removed

  • like a boss. lovin' his monette!

  • DEM CHEEKS

  • AMAZING!!! I hear him a month ago in germany near where i live!

  • WAW! hes good

    cool

  • amazing ,,,,

  • Jonah Hill - bottom left at 2:12?

  • WHODAT !

  • Lol he's not very discrete with that circular breathing.....But the he had the air and the power to bust out that ridiculous trill! When you circular breathe it's tough playing anything more than like, 2 mins, and after holding a not just 30 seconds I wouldn't be able to do that. O.o

  • i was half expecting him to ribbit at the end of that

  • Trumpet Shorty?

  • 굿

  • I like New Orleans music. I like funky latin grooves. I like st. james infirmary. I like minnie the moocher. I like playstation. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!

  • Como disfruta ese batero xd!! impecable!

  • Man this guy wasted playing at this crowd, hardly any enthusiasm for the man. This guy is just great

  • Definitely a fan, but Trombone Shorty, if you check this, listening to the passage with the circular breathing was kind of like listening to a truck backing up for several minutes- more white noise than music. Could just be me, and probably only happens once in a show. Other than that- thanks for what your doing for the music!

  • Hope this guy can hit it big.

  • coolieo

    

  • first time I saw this cat, he was on Conan and he was singing and I was like, "ok. he can sing. good for him I guess.." then he picked up the trombone and made it cool again. I have to refrain from watching him too much on account of how long it takes to clean my mind up off the floor after he blows it. word.

  • whats with his cheeks

  • @XSASMrKiiLcAMz it's called circular breathing. he's fills his cheeks with air so he doesn't have to stop playing to take in air through his mouth. it's extremely difficult. and yes he looks like a little chipmunk or something :)

  • 2:10 to 3:44 all people who dont play an instrument are like wtf this is boring and everybody who plays is like holy shit!?!!?!!!

  • @knifenewbie456 yes holy shit!!!!

  • haha @ 2:10 ,you jelly bro?

  • Man, I've never been able to circular breath while changing notes, this guy is amazing... Of course I don' t play the trumpet either...

  • his high note at the end = constipation face

  • The reason some could not ear cheering is becauswe it was too amazing I was breathless @ 2:09 - 3:45

  • Hah Circular breathing i remember that trick

  • That Cab Calloway Minnie the Mooch bit thrown in... fucking brilliant

  • the hell's up with that white dude drumming haha he's way too into it

  • 2:09 - 3:45 i didnt even know that was possible Really amazed i need to see this guy live!

  • great music, hilarious face on the drummer xD

  • Damn..... i'm Jealous

  • Fantastic!!

  • Dear Lord... that was amazing.

  • Fantastic version and I've heard a lot!!!

  • dude freaking crazy an like 238 were he goes like forever on that triol.. i want to learn how tto do that man... breathe and play. If anyone has any tips hitme up please!

  • @jakegilles search "circular breathing"

  • @jakegilles All it is, is circular breathing!

  • @jakegilles what he is doing is a technique called Circular Breathing. Check it out. In my opinion the best way to learn this technique is on a didgeridoo, but you can do this on essentially every instrument that requires air to generate the sound. It is the only way to create sound and get a breathe at the same time. tricky. next step is to beatbox at the same time :)

  • Lol look at the Drummer in the Beginning

  • haha i wish i could circular breath like that. My nose is too stuffy all the time tho.

  • Trombone Shorty @ erics liverpool this Friday!
