I had the honor of seeing and hearing Vizzutti play at the Temple Jazz Festival 2011 in Texas, and I was blown away. Recordings of master musicians really don't do them justice; I thought Vizzutti was nothing special when I heard a recording, but after hearing him live he's become my favorite living trumpeter, and as a trumpet player I've heard many great trumpeters. His tone is the purest I've heard, his tonguing is impeccable, and his tricks are hilarious. Two thumbs up, Vizzutti!
I was in 8th grade at the time. He played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with us. I am a trumpet player and it was that day that I discovered what great playing is. He literally sight read a complex arrangement perfectly.
@trumpetplayer444 hmmm i guess it's true about trumpet players being outrageously arrogant =D, but don't feel offended because i'm a trumpet person too
Well, I can't play this better than he is by a long shot but in my opinion Maurice Andre was much better and without all the showboating. Andre made this difficult piece seem almost leisurely and unhurried.
@SpeedyNeutrino43 You're entitled to your own option, but mastery mixed with showmanship is truly unique. And I doubt if the great Maurice Andre could play it any better than the great Vizutti.
Some one in the audience is enjoying it so much that he decided to masturbate so he could have a eargasm. xD I even didn't needed the jerking off lol, I just went nuts
WOW... so i'm sure all of you know about sound quality. the band he was playing with was a class A band that went to states in ohio. its not like the mic on the camera could really get all the sound in good quality... dumbasses
I love how he performs and doesnt just play. Flipping the trumpet and praying before he one of the high notes at the end made this all the more enjoyable haha.
Clearly Viz is a great player. It's just shits me that always goes too fast, too high and in turn it sounds crass. Check out his Teleman. Now that is true Viz.
i think the clicking is from the recorder... thats why its not even close to in time... and there is a middle school video with al in the same area that has identical clicking
There's is something really cool about this guy that I like over most other professional trumpet players. Just a real classy guy, and not to bad a trumpet player either!
You know probably when Mr. Vizzutti walked into wherever they reherse for the first time and played that with them, all of the trumpet player's balls got smaller...
i do believe i heard him speak and perform that week, highland is one of our neighboring schools, but i had no clue he played with their band. id love to have him in one of our rehersals. hes incredibly layed back and personable, not to mention a flat out SICK trumpet player. my word...
Vizzutti is great and freakishly awsome honestly i dont think he's human but the band OMG im a trumpet player and the trumpet section just .....i....i have no words to describe how bad the tuning was and come on like the whole band has no concept of articulation or of tuning or time for that matter just total baner killero
