Bob Findley Trumpet solo w/ The Tijuana Brass on the Muppets

Just a little clip of a performance of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass on the 70s classic 'Muppet Show' I aquired. :) You see, that bearded gentleman on the right of Herb who plays this little solo and subsequently 'kicks it' w/ some muppets is my old man. So yes maybe a bit self indulgent.. but whatevs. PURE 70S CHEESE-LOVE FOE LIFE SUCKAZ!! Im off to my Yacht.

p.s. anyone catch bobby in this years accademy awards pit band? he's too humble to ever say ir, but I know it is a matter of great pride for him to have played in the band (under the legendary Bill Conti) in virtually every band section for the accademys for the last, wow, 20 years or so? I tell ya my heart fills with joy when I hear those perfectly executed solos and queues and watch from home everytime to see the brief facetime he gets every time.. Ok, enough gushing :) carry on :)

Mr. Bob Evans looks pretty tipsy..

[findolyem]

it's all schmaltz, these dudes are pros through and through or they wouldnt be there

[NapoleonPhoneApart]

I believe he also did the solo work on Alpert's "Carmine," dedicated to ALpert's trumpet teacher, Carmine Caruso, who was also my teacher back in the 1970s.

True, Carmine Caruso was also his mentor and he wrote the song in dedication to him and his legasy. cheers!

true!playing a brass instrument is way harder than guitar and do u kno y guitar is more popular? cause its easier i kno, i play bass, guitar and trumpet

i find bass the best the most enjoyable and entertaining but trumpet is by far the harderst out of the 3 and i hate admitting that lol ive been playing trumpet 2wice as long as ive been playing bass..

and u kno y a lot of people r called band geeks? cause theyre jealous and cant pick up a damn instrument

not me though theyr scared of me lol

In a genre of music that is not my favourite, that Mr. Findley was excellent. Truly.

I looked up Coney Island and Panama doesn't appear to be on it... is that the album for sure?

[ReubenGazer]

Anyone know the song name so I can download it?

[saxxxxxxxxx]

well, your old man sure kicks butt on this one... ain't nothing "pure cheese" about this track, the problem is that the music of today has spiralled down into the abyss of mediocrity, most music today couldn't touch an effort like this

Jazzmanta,... Hey, I was there at the Maine Jazz Camp, too! Pretty cool scene - up in the woods, in Vassalboro, and here's this amazing session man from Pacific Palisades talking to us about "support" and if you have that you can play anything. Special guy, special times.....
