Now that's some lead trumpet right there. I'm sick of these damn youtube videos with these idiots that squeak out a note and call it screaming. THIS is how you play lead and scream. Nice work!!

I agree with everyone ‘monster playing, intonation, etc.” BUT, where are the other players and why is the guy looking into the camera after the tutti stuff – just appears duded to me, but still kool 

Nice is that a blackhill moutpiece?

[dfjazzzzz]

Awesome...sounds great man!

[awreckingball]

Nice playing. Very accurate up there. Do you follow a particular method?

[bluebottle187]

Fantastic lead with spot on intonation - my horn is now going in the dumpster!! Would be brilliant if you could record and upload a longer solo section now you've given us such a superb insight!!

Great stuff, thanks

Thank you so much for the kind comments. I've always been a huge fan of MF. I'll never forget the experiences I had touring with him. He was an amazing trumpet player and wonderful person.

Mr. Stephens, you sound just like the boss's original recording from the album "Dues". Your playing is really inspiring!!!
