Jam session: trumpet solo at Vitoria Jazz Festival 06

[Rudreax]

Gonna be honest, I was watching the bass player until he got cut out of the video. Guy's totally into the grove, it's so awesome.

[Anthonytothmusic]

@Rudreax except he doesnt swing lol

[SmoothLilMexican]

Is that a monette?

[Anthonytothmusic]

@SmoothLilMexican yes

[Arborwaychet]

its a good solo ... and well sutained with plenty of ideas along the way ... he also keeps the melody in his head throughout.  In short great playing of this style ... yet it is also yet another case for the smooth school

[cottoner89]

@Arborwaychet "Smooth School?" You better explain this. I know Mat. Nothing "smooth school" about it. The cat can play his ass off.

[YeseviL314]

2:15 is the sickest little lick EVER!

[lukerocks13]

does he play with a mouth piece?

[MusicManOH12]

it's a monnete, they blend with monette trumpets and it looks wierd.

supposedly they're really great, but I've never played one

[Eattsie]

@lukerocks13 ofcourse...

[tmonkeypunch]

Oh man I would have loved to been there.

[alecolaita]

yesss

[tugmol]

did he play for james morrison in gemany or something

[piercedearmusic]

Great Playing.  Sounds like he's gunnin after someone.lol

The tune is Four!

[SmelMyFinger]

Great solo!

Anyone know what tune they're playing?

[joshlawrencejazz]

Four

[migafferska]

Yea Mat!

[xTRUMPETBOYx]

yo this is great you were amazing cool

[socgeo]

wow

[somedude8403]

Yea, he killed this shit. Changes were amazing. For example seconds 32-42 were what jazz is about. Hitting the changes and having fun.

[mattvj5]

dude was hitting the changes big time...excellent...also on mouthpieces, you find one your comfortable with and go from there..alot of the best players play on basic mouthpieces...3C and 5C Bachs for instance..there's a reason for that...quit qorrying about mouthpieces and go practice!!

[tttrumpet1]

Mat is a fabulous Australian trumpeter from WA, sounded great at 16, won a james morrison scholarship, and just keeps working hard

[nomoreliesplease]

Thanks for posting this clip. I really enjoyed listening to such a great trumpet player in Mat.

[ilovemusic121994]

well...the mouthpiece really does determine your tone. but this guy is pretty killer good. i'm just saying, your mouthpiece is pretty important. if you have a bad one, it's like playing on a piano thats out of tune. thats not fun. but, yeah, this guy would be schweet on any! wish i could play like that! haha im only a trumpet in marching band. and symphonic

[kdfan]

this guy's great!

[CaptainCreature]

You guys are both right!

[rickshew]

WOW Great Playing...solo has a hint of "Four" in it

[Rudreax]

They're all jamming off the chord progression for "Four", so that's probably why. Nice ears.

[adi86b]

Tego nie da sie sluchac

[sweetmpea55]

sounds like the changes to 'four'.

great tune.

and this guy is doin a great bop job.

he'll be a beast when he gets older.

[greenstboy]

Great trumpet, but definitely too much incoherent drumming!

[ouruhuru]

who is this guy anyway? Great playing.

[cj01126]

ive been play for like 6 years now and im on a 7c, think i should try other mouthpieces?

[huumbft]

of course, i've been playing for 5 years and got a c3.

[jrmckamey]

Don't worry so much about the mouthpiece. I used to worry about that stuff too, and I went from playing a monette prana mouthpiece to a bach 3c. My teacher recommended the 3c over the prana. It's all because the 3c helped me achieve an ideal trumpet sound where the prana was hindering me. So I think the most important thing for a trumpet player to think about is, "Am I achieving an ideal trumpet sound?" If you aren't, talk to your teacher about what needs to change (not necessarily mouthpiece.)

[xTommyGirlx]

I started on a seven(played it for five years) and switched over to a 3 C megatone because it improved my tone quality but it really depends on which mouthpeice works best for you personally. I recommend trying multiple ones and seeing what works best for you.

[ThaGearOfWar]

omg why do u still use 7c???thats a no no....7c is only for beginners...u chould be on 4 or 3c now lol...ive been playing for 3 years and i use a 4c

[coolstruttin1]

There are pros that play a 7C. It's a really popular mouthpiece, the only reason it is for beginners is because it is in the middle in terms of rim diameter and depth, so one can matriculate to either a more shallow or deeper mouthpiece. But I play a monette B7F which is pretty much the same as a 7c, works great...

[vivalasteven5]

it really depends on your playing style

i play on a bach 3c megatone. just look on the internet about mouthpieces and they should tell you what fits you best...

i like the megatone because it gives me a dark tone and stands me out frone everyone being that im a lead trumpet player...

like i said its your personal prefrence.

if you like the 7c stick with it and if not explore and find whats out there and if it fits you

[dolsigma]

i know this is beat to shit, but mouth piece means little in the long run, worry about how you allign it, and how comfortable it sits on your lip. it takes time to get used to a mouth piece, just remember tthat you make the sound, not the mouth piece

[josephmotter]

whatever dude,

Why you guys with all your mouthpieces go and chill out. This guy sounds great. And he would sound great on anymouth piece that played on.

CHILL OUT!!!!!

peace

MOTTER

[kdfan]

hey, joe! how's japan?

[BlenderFreak777]

wow, turn down the drums mic! seriously thats all you can hear!

[MonetteStomvib2]

that's the prana series monette mouthpiece

[KrummyBear]

POOF!

[emathebrave]

i bet thats his sex face

[cgtest1]

hahahaha

[jfree1112]

hey everything isnt just about 3c,5c,7c... if you want anything inbetween try Gary Radke mouthpieces, you can get anything inbetween...for jazz stuff I'm using a "3S" its for the most part a shallow cup 3c

[funkygrooveman]

Yeah! Nice! :p

[sillyrabbitman]

Um, hello? What song is this?

[sillyrabbitman]

Wups, sorry, I posted this before the end of the song. From 2:45 he's playing part of the head for Miles Davis' "Four." He could just be quoting this even though it's a another song, though...

[bcolborn]

Four

[musicfreak115]

oh well i was just guessing but yea i would actually like to get one of those trumpets

[Supaboy000]

Nice long falls at :50

[kristieiscool13]

why does his mouthpiece look funny?

[musicfreak115]

i think its one of those trumpets that the mouth piece is customed for him and its just all one piece

[SOLTABAROO]

aaaaaaaaa ca sonne bien!!!!!

jadore!!!

[TheBig5Brass]

Awesome

[jazzmanny5555]

wow. musicisagiftfromgod has no ideas what he is talking about. The 5c mouthpiece is BIGGER the a 7c. If you want something thats smaller then the most comfortable choice would be a 10 1/2 c and thats only if bach makes the mouthpiece you want. I prefer Schilke because of the rims.

[microjazzheads]

this mans got some groovy licks. i havewnt played in years myself, got a stomvi mambo sat there, its criminal really, this is the inspiration to start playin again. talkin of mouth pieces, im still using a C7, its probably about time i changed, has anyone any ideas?

[MusicisagiftfromGod]

Hey if you looking to get a smaller mouth piece so u can play higher and better, the next step from a 7C would be a 5C, that would be your best bet since u havent played in a while. Then go to a 3C.

[nb734]

That all depends on facial structure. Recommending a mouthpiece to someone you haven't seen or heard play is ridiculous, no offense.

[Supaboy000]

Actually 5c and 3c aren't all that good. I use a 5c only I have really good tone quality. But 3c is a squealer mouthpiece only made for playing higher notes but it sacrifices tone quality for range. So i say the best for low and high notes for most people is a 5c.

[dolsigma]

just play on the mouth piece that is most comfortable. Roy hargrove was playing on 10 1/2 when he entered into berklee. i was told by one of the teachers there that even with such a smal mouthpiece, his sound was sooo full. so what ever feels the best, work with it

[nb734]

That is the correct answer to mouthpieces. I had a classical teacher try to switch me off of my monette because he wanted me to get a brighter classical sound. The thing felt like shit and I don't know how to tell him I hate playing classical music. I can't wait to change my major at school so I can stop taking lessons from classical musicians.

[xereas]

A higher # = a smaller cup, so a 7C would have a smaller cup diameter than a 5C. I find that a smaller cup diameter helps with endurance and a shallower cup; a higher letter (in this case a 7D or a 3D) helps you hit higher notes more easily. However, it's different for different horns and different players. Sometimes a bigger cup is actually makes it easier to play higher (if the horn has a lot of built-in resistance, for example). I'd recommend trying a few out and seeing what you like best.

[ThaGearOfWar]

thanks cus i always thought the lower the number and letter the better u can play high notes

[CaptainJazz92]

@xereas

you're absolutely correct

on my horn (a Courtois Evolution IV), it is so heavy and resistant that you can't really use anything deeper than a bach c, though I use Hammond Design personally

[Thouveninpascal]

It's so pleasant to discover so many fantastic musicians playing jazz sandarts so well, Jazz is alive.

[JDillaYO]

hell yeah bro.

[gretna122]

That Bass Guy proppa thinks he's the Shizz Wt a gay!

[gazalaza]

unghh!...this guy's great

[webgeek111]

this cat smokes man! swinging all through the registers at that tempo just ain't easy man...

[simonjeans]

...and our buddy Shane Pooley on bass

[abbytrivium]

This Is A Really Inspiring Peice Here. Ive Only Been Playing For Around 5 Months But I'm Definately Interested In Playing In A Jazz Quartet Or Band. =]

[hetane]

wow..that monette eats air like crazy...

Nice solo.

does anyone know what size of mouthpiece receiver fits the Monette STC2 mouthpiece ?

thnx

[bigdog024]

Should be able to fit it into a standard horn. I had a friend that put an STC-3 into his non-monette horn w/no problem. I believe the only ones that won't go into standard horn are the pieces from the Raja horns.

[IMDominican]

yea this guy is hot

[simonjeans]

Just as well they didn't have a guitar amp up on stage. Hey I told you that you sounded good up there too Mack, now you have evidence.

[carlmackey]

That's Mat Jodrell. He's from Perth Australia. Mat's smokin'! We were in Vitoria to hear Sonny and ended up at this jam. It was great to catch up with Terell and have a play.

[enward327]

yeah man, nice solo.  i love Four

[wenkf]

Who is this guy? sounded great! thanks for sharing again !
