Ed Trujillo on Misty - Jazz Flugelhorn

[Forevahhs]

that flugelhorn looks and sounds so beautiful and so do you btw, i love ittttt

[vitorio846]

listen to Freddie Hubbard

[Broomehall]

Just listening to this on a mellow Sunday afternoon, blowing away the cobwebs from my mind.............

[DancingSpiderman]

Hey Ed, a QUEStion if you will... would you say the copper bell tends to attract lightning strikes more frequently than say, a lacquer bell or a silver one? Here in the HighLands one must be concerned about such matters especially in the monsoon season...

Love your Misty clip Ed. Later, Joe from NM

[patricknelson]

I think this would sound good with a horn mouthpiece (with a bit). Would add to the mellow sound.

[Trumpetplayer60076]

Very nice!!!

[Ertrombarolo]

Hard to see vibrato by moving flugenhorn, yeah!

[guerrero1994]

awesome..!

[jamiebrs]

I love my Kanstul ZKF 1525 as well, add a curry FL mouthpiece and its a beautiful sounding combo.

[RosesLavender]

Gorgeous playing!

[jhtrumpetgeek]

i love your tone! but the way you create vibrato is kinda iffy to me. other wise i wish i could sound like that on flugel

[tubadanthemusicman]

hey dude killer sound man check ma version outman tell your pals.

[Dizzymusik321]

One of my favorite songs to play. Yet another amazing vid

[sadd66]

[bilboinsa]

Wonderful sound, Ed. Viva la 1525!!!

[bazzao01]

wow!! you are as awesome as Chuck Mangione on flugelhorn. thats a compliment!!

[JCM900dude]

What a lovely tone!

[s4lford]

wow!!..

[jazztrmpr94]

This is nice!!!!

[haraldtheman]

wonderful!

[jivin2007]

This is a wonderful instrument and you play it very beautifully! I must get my hands on a Flügelhorn.

[mentalmalfunction]

YOu do have a great sweet sound..You must play in public .

[Wisegeorge]

Flugelhorns and Longhorns Rule!

[aguaviva96]

man, i guess you are competent to play it in public!

very nice job

[Motifator61]

Hey, very nice, Ed. Great tone, man. By the way, I think my next horn's going to be the Kanstul ZKF-1525, too. It's getting nothing but outstanding reviews by horn players all over the internet. Question: Does the copper bell seem/feel anymore vulnerable to dings than a typical flugelhorn's? What do you like best about it? Thanks!

[edcontact]

The burnished copper bell is nice in that I don't have to polish it like I do on my trumpet. As far as dings go - it seems to be just as vunerable as any other horn. On gigs I use trombone stands rather than a trumpet stand - the trombone stand is more resistant to drunks knocking your horn off the stand.

[imthebrother]

ed asides you playing flugelhorn, r there any other instruments you play?

[edcontact]

I mess around with various instruments - piano, trombone, guitar, flute, violin, drums ... whatever is handy but I'm certainly not competent to play them publicly.

[schilkeman]

Super nice tone! Great playing!

[arenmadan]

! very nice! 너무 좋아요. misty가 색다르게 들리네요 ^^

[headbanger623]

Musical Ecstasy!

Very Well Done!

[meepshizzleyams]

awesome! very good, as are all of your videos.

i was actually thinking of buying a Kanstul flugelhorn, and now i know for sure i want one!

[uncledan1]

Ed, it was a pleasure meeting you today. I had at least two of your videos saved under my favorites. You have a great gift, and it is wonderfull of you to share it with all.

[aegbb]

Very nice smooth sound and a decent horn as well, i think;) Love this Tune.

In what kind of Band do you play?

[edcontact]

Thanks! I'm just starting to get connected to local musicians here in Columbia SC and have been jamming with a great guitar player by the name of Don Russo. He plays regularly at the Speakeasy jazz club by the University of South Carolina in Columbia. The horn is great so far but I really hate the amato water keys - the main one stopped working and I've got to rotate my horn to get rid of the water - kind of like a french horn player.

[0lfo]

very nice. this is my favorite jazz standard and i also love the flugelhorn. very nicely done.

[alexaldi]

Great man!! wht is the specification of the mouthpiece you use or you are used to using?

[edcontact]

I'm using a standard Kanstul stock mouthpiece that came with the horn. I've only tried a couple of mouthpieces for the flugelhorn - Back 3C, 10C and the Kanstul and there doesn't appear to be much of a difference. Certainly not as much as in a trumpet mouthpiece. I definitely don't want a bright sound on the flugel. Unfortunately, I don't live in a place anymore where I can conveniently try out a bunch of flugelhorn mouthpieces before purchasing.

[AlinaChan]

amazingly done! i love it! can you also do Flight of the Bumblebee?

[kars1003]

hi! i am a trumpet/flugel player and i am playing this solo in the jazz band i attend! you are a real inspiration and yhave given me loads of ideas that will work for my playing style!!!

thanks alot!!

[edcontact]

Cool. Have fun playing and wish you the best. Thanks for the note.

[armenjan2007]

great play...sweet sound...looking 4ward for more similar..all the best...

[marcelpf]

Magic... absolutely magic!

[swingman12]

Doc, I love this video!! Your sound is smooth, and it's hard to find and hear good jazz like that! Keep it up man!!

[peerschmidtke]

Wonderful ballad, very good timing and wonderful melodies in your improvisation, thanks for posting and please keep on playing!

[Trumpetplayer60076]

GREAT sound!

[croon4u]

Oh this is nice - thank you for sharing on the tube. (Pardon the pun.) Just letting some fellow students know why I like flugel horns (and your instrument is prime, huh?) & players...better post them this (about to go to the one note samba too). Wonderful! You make me glad that I love music.

[edcontact]

Thanks. I enjoyed your video. You've got a great voice.

[SirEatsAlot]

hey ed

do u play at shows?

[edcontact]

Hello SirEatsAlot. I used to play in a dance band but got tired of the late hours, drunk people and smoke filled rooms. Nowadays I play mostly in churches and synagogues.

[SirEatsAlot]

that's cool

hope u keep performing

[MIR1014]

HEY ED, LOVE THIS ONE. you play very well. will be listening to it at work, while I work. MIR. (Don's Septic)

[Elliot84]

very well played sir, i think i might have to steal some of your idea's if you don't mind :P lol.

All the best,

Elliot

[edcontact]

Hi Elliot. Ha ha. Please do steal. Everyone steals ideas ... I guess the key is to steal a little from everyone you like so you end up sounding precisely like nobody else.

[ytKingRat]

nicely done, i love this song. It calmed my soul.

[edcontact]

Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you joined in as it calmed my soul to play it.

[Noogit1]

This is absolutely amazing! I'm thirteen years old and very musicaly inclined, i ccan pretty much play anything i pick up. i play trumpet in the band. im gonna buy me a flugel. whats a good brand?

[edcontact]

Kanstul is good of course. But I've played on the Yamaha Bobby Shew models and those sound great also. You really need to try some out for yourself. Go to a trumpet convention or a good music store and give them a try.

[edcontact]

Hi Lillibet1. Thanks for the compliment. I really love this horn. All the best. Ed

[lillibet1]

The flugelhorn is a great intstrument to play and difficult. You play it so well, you are very talentd. Great stuff. I only wish I could play mine like you.
