@cherryblossom1351 Isn't it obvious... he had to put the other cd in.

Supposed to stand up in a solo?

[gkernx]

Excellent gliss, and Gershwin would love the "wail"

[cobra4life13]

Interesting interpretation. Incredible gliss though.

[OneEndedStick]

props to the muted trumpet as well. There was some excellent control there too

@cherryblossom1351 He bent down to put his mute on the floor. Like the trombone player next to him with the metal thing in his bell, the trumpet player also had one but for his own instrument. The harmon mute is what causes the wah-wah sound when they play.

Great job!!! but at 2:28 y did the guy bend down???

[carloslaran]

16 years old and you are cocky enough to put that kind of emotion into your playing style? You bob your head all you want to young man. It shows you are into what your doing. Fantastic.
