orchestras CAN NOT play jazz like any big band ever they simply dont have the style needed.

I'm certainly glad Clifford Brown and Charlie Parker didn't feel that way when they made their "with strings" albums. Roy Hargrove and Wynton Marsalis have both recorded with strings in past few years. Those are great albums. Most string players probably aren't that likely to have studied the idiosyncrasies that make up a jazz performance, but it is the musician that plays jazz, not the instrument.

Vizzutti is not a typical jazz player. He's not a masterpiece in jazz methodic, he's THE BEST TRUMPET PLAYER!!! He's able to play everything with the instrument, his technique and sound is the best of then world!!

I've heard of jazz orchestras but jazz Ochestras? thats just plain silly

@xenorules Can not? They may not have the style, but that's because they haven't trained for it. Doesn't mean they can't work towards it. The solos here are pretty decent. And Allen Vizzutti is killin' it. Jazz doesn't discriminate. Just because orchestras aren't accustom to the art doesn't mean they can't learn. And strings have been incorporated into jazz for years--Clifford Brown with strings, Charlie Parker with strings--to name a couple.

ye. Allen Vizzuti is an amateur.

Awesome, he looks like doc severinson and plays just as good if not better

[davesmith2910]

You're totally right. No swing there AT ALL! Imagine what the Duke would say!

The orchestra is too laud overwelmingly hiding the sound of the soloist trumpet. I can not hardly pick up the high points of the soloist, its the drums and the other background music which prevails.
