To avoid further digression let me clarify . Fast Tempo and technical excellence on the part of the song and the player does not mean an absence of soul . And we need to stop associating Soul with race also , that generation is almost gone , and Lord knows we cant associate it with this generation

Really solid. One comment on soul. Yes, the "soul" is not quite there, but that comes with the years. For trumpet fans, that is like the difference between Wynton Marsalis and Maurice Andre. Wynton is young and technically excellent, but lacks the soul of Andre, but it will come as the years mellow his playing.

his rhythm is unbelievable!!

true, solid playing and technical ability. a bit lacking in the soul department

i agree with you on this song but you should listen to a song he wrote called the beauty of discipline that song just breathes soul

very solid playing
