Ya gotta love Bobby Hackett! Instead of getting a new bucket mute, he salvages his old one with what looks like a coffee-can lid and electrician's tape.

@TanglangSlayer that feel is the great american swing. "fusion" grabs the eight note line and tries to pull it into a straight thing. That's why it's funk, not jazz. It's intelligent, but intelligence doesn't make jazz. Intelligent swing makes jazz. This music feels right.

This kind of Jazz is brilliant, because of the soulful /blues feeling, but I cannot stand fusion jazz... why ruin such a wonderful feeling.... ah....

@gaemp Comparisons are odious

I always said Bobby played the sweetest cornet ever. His jazz was great, but the sentimental numbers were played by him to perfection!

not like big T does!

Bellisimo, muchas gracias.

Hacketts "Lazy Afternoon" was by far one of the best trumpet solos ever!!!!!
-
Do you by chance have a recording of Hackett playing "Our Love is Here To Stay." I may be wrong but I think he was then with the Jackie Gleason Band--probably ghost directing it.

mmm mm
it's magic!



The most elegant trumpet of Bobby Hackett. The Shakespeare of the cornet.

Well said!!! I wish more people knew about him though. I do what I can to educate everyone I meet about jazz in general. Thank you for the comparison!!!
