@@Jeppe805It's one of my favorite charts as well, and it's even crazier when you realize that it was his first attempt at writing a jazz/big band chart ever.
This whole video is amazing. The tonal quality, the timekeeping, the general perfection of the way you played this song. I seriously do not think you or anyone else could have played this any better. Truly, amazing job.
@@TheHellleaderit might just be placebo, but I find that is is useful for endurance, power and control. The mouthpiece I am playing on has a more open backbore and so has a more round sound to it suitable for Eb trumpet playing for instance. My trumpet is a large bore as well, so with the booster it helps me get that extra "brassy" sound. The booster helps me with slotting as well. I usually use open fingering for C, D, E & G above the staff. With the booster it feels like those notes are further apart from eachother, making it less likely to accidentally play a C when you wanted a D etc... I recommend a booster if you know your mouthpiece (and horn) well, and want to add something to your playing, however it should never be a substitute for proper technique! It can't fix a bad mouthpiece, only make it worse. It can however enhance a good mouthpiece. That's my experience anyway :)
@@Jeppe805 Thanks for the valuable info on the reply my man, love it, I'm using a yamaha thomas hooten mouthpiece tho so it already has a larger throat than usual mouthpiece hehe
Haha no worries! I wish I could recommend a mouthpiece but it is a very individual matter. I use a Schilke 14A4x which took some years to really get to work, but today I can't live without it. I've tried alot of "real" lead mouthpieces with huge compression, however those don't work for me as I use a lot of air when playing. I have a large bore trumpet and a mouthpiece with less compression than other mouthpieces that I've tried. So maybe try to find a MP that is a bit larger if you have a tendency to use alot of air. Maybe not much to go on, but I hope it helps.
Also, if you find a mouthpiece to try out, then don't expect it to work immediately. It takes time to really know if it's good or not. When I first got mine I overblowed alot and had bad endurance. Experiment with it and see where it "leads" ;). Good luck!
Hey man, you're doing a lot of things really well. One thing I would like to see changed is the flute-style "machine gun" vibrato you have going on. This is not really appropriate for jazz, and especially lead playing. Music like this will almost never have any vibrato with the exception being more lyrical sections. The vibrato is causing your notes to be out of the center and not focused. This makes the notes sound weaker than they are and often makes you sound out of tune, even though you're rarely out of tune. Practice playing purely straight tone (especially on long tones). I believe you are in the habit of playing with this vibrato on almost every note, so you may need to do a bit of work to get the vibrato gone.

That was so rad! Awesome to hear those parts in isolation, it's such an incredible arrangement
Thank you very much! Can only agree with you, it's one of my all time favourites from Giacchino!

You should get way more recognition for that amazing tone
Well done. Great endurance
phenomenal
Killin, bro.

Truly, amazing job.
Bravo!!! 😀
This is so cool. I want to try to be able to sound and play like this
Around bar 29 you need to carry over the Db to the end of the bar as you kept playing it as a D natural which is incorrect
Yep, you're correct
Good job on the high notes
Love this! ❤
Wow
hey the Db carries
you noticed too
Quel travail fais tu pour avoir des notes si hautes??
anybody know what mouthpiece that is?
Well I know ;) It's a Schilke 14a4x with a KGU booster :)
@@Jeppe805lol, nice playing man, btw what does the "booster" do? Beside having more mass on the mouthpiece?

hate to be that guy, but what kind of mouthpiece do you use or recommend for lead parts
