Hey all, there is a brand new song like this one out from Mambisimo Big Band featuring Yuliesky Gonzales again! It's a first single release for a full album, if you want to check that out: ruclips.net/video/zoWp_Wi4ymE/видео.html
@@DTux5249 I’m not completely sure, and I’m not a trumpet player, but I think it’s because unlike woodwind instruments where personality mostly comes from the movement of the fingers, trumpet players have to also use their lips for notes. Again, not completely sure this is what he meant but I think it might.
@@coalkingryan881 definitely i think that to be able to manipulate your sound with such precision and flexibility while maintaining control of your embouchure with the trumpet is what is more impressive
@@DTux5249 It's because the trumpet only have 3 buttons, and not one for every note, like for example a piano. You have to shape the notes with your mouth, rather than your fingers, and thats really hard to do.
People are blown away by this style of trumpet playing today because it's a lost art. Nobody plays off-beat like this anymore in American jazz, but during the Swing Era (and just before it) this was common among cornet/trumpet players, especially Henry "Red" Allen, whose whole style was basically evading the beat and playing all around it.
Love it! I like the way he mixes a “tipico” Cuban style with some bebop, all in clave, and a great big trumpet sound. Mossman is one of my favorite Latin jazz arrangers.
I was totally blown away by this solo while recording live in studio, the solo by Yulieski Gonzalez. Me, Jorre, was playing lead sax there so I got the privelege to experience this very live and in person. What an amazing rhythmic and melodic expression... I was lucky that I didn't have to play backings, because I would probably have dropped out by listening to this solo in awe 😂. I know that kinda everybody of the band had the same thought on his face during this solo: "Yuli waauw, ehm, but maybe DON"T take so much risk in a live improvised solo session, ... ehm, oh whatever, this is too cool!" 😂 Sorry Yuli for butchering the rhythms you play, it's pretty intranscribable in traditional western music notation, so see it merely as a guide. If you like this music, you can check out the full tune this solo was taken from here: ruclips.net/video/Zup7rmDj6fE/видео.html It's from a live studio session with the Mambisimo Big Band, conducted and all tunes arranged by Michael Mossman (Michel Camilo, Tito Puente etc). You can follow the band for more and upcoming music on Instagram and RUclips @mambisimobigband or on Facebook. Cool stuff coming up pretty soon!
I like that: 'it's pretty intranscribable...so see it (the transcription) merely as a guide." I followed the solo with the transcription and Yulieski freely borrowed beats from one note to another. Perhaps the best you can do is add, 'with a latin style' at the start.
Thanks a lot for the transcription. Like every transcription, it should be considered as a starting point, a way to understand and learn licks and patterns. Which is already a huge help. The rest (groove, rythm, articulation) should result from active listening of the solo and the tune. Musicians have to do their homework too afterall ;). About Yulieski, I had the pleasure and honor to play this very tune with him during a private event. He was such a nice and enthusiast person. Always positive and supportive. And such a briliant musician as well.
WOW! That trumpet player reminds me of the good ol days when I used to play with many latin bands (Tito Puente, Monchito , Celia Cruz, Stevie Wonder, and countless jam sessions in New York in the Village to name but a few) as a sideman. At 65 I had a bad accident where I lost all my teeth a few years ago and never played trumpet again, but in my hay day I had many followers and performed nationwide. In fact I was known as the muted trumpet dude in the jazz scene in Los Angeles. Shame not very many recordings years ago of me performing before the RUclips and internet thing, but I have some great memories. This trumpet player was common in my day. Especially from some of my Puerto Rican, Cuban and Mexican trumpet player buddies. Thanks for an awesome clip of an awesome solo.
Tough to play a wind instrument without teeth! I was a pretty hot harmonica guy in my day, til they took out my teeth. Playing with dentures is an invitation for embarrassment.
Once upon a time I dreamed that kind of music. Then I realized how much talent, physical ability and musicianship it would take to even be able to think of doing that and went to work in a radio factory. Que talento.
This man played this like a BOSS!!! At that level, a musician is having fun and reading the sheet music like it's the Matrix. Measure 24 gets EVERY time🎺🔥
Most definitely. I'm the lead sax player on this session, and we did 3 takes I remember. All very different and amazing, but this one felt incredible. Transcribed this beautiful moment that I experienced live, Yulieski is an amazing trumpet player and person.
I can almost hear him talking through the horn. Specially from 0:15 to 0:20. His tone matches the Cuban speech accent so well. So much personal flavor coming through.
El Yulyyy 🔥🔥🔥Estudie en la misma escuela y no me equivoque….siempre me dije este muchacho va ser una estrella desde pequeño tocaba a otro nivel… abrazongos hermano de los años❤
Yes, Yuliesky was playing at maximum cool. I played gigs with two trumpeters who could play like that but that was more than 50 years ago. I LOVE to see/hear young men AND women who can really show us something special. It gives us hope and comfort about the future of music.
Thanks Jeff. Yuliesky always brings the latin free going vibe, there is by the way since this recording 6 years ago a new release featuring a Yulieski solo from the Mambisimo Big Band ruclips.net/video/zoWp_Wi4ymE/видео.html This is shorter and more as an answer to the singers, but these lines are so tasty played
Wow there is a "divine intervention" going on there! Thank you so much for sharing it and transcribing the untranscribable!😛 It is wonderful to see one musician supporting and elevating the greatness of another. It is very inspiring and very noble of you!
Thanks Lua! Yuliesky is a humble fun guy an great musician to play with. Lovely to see other people here discover that due to this transcription video too. He's a hidden treasure. By the way, was sweating it to not screw up that sax soli right after that amazing solo, only imagine that we'd thrown it in the thrash can due to me 😂

Holy shit he's playing with so much personality
Don’t take this the wrong way, but that’s way harder to do on trumpet than so many other instruments. Totally agree. He smoked it.
@@TheAaronRodgersTao how so, might I ask?

He was also "playing IN CLAVE". That is the "cuban secret weapon" for the latin swagger, brother. Cheers!
@@evelioroque3706 There's a New Orleans variation on the clave, actually. It's called the Big Four.
Interesting! But in this case the pattern was "3 - 2" for the cuban clave!@@kafenwar
A trend then
It died and now it’s appearance is considered new and fresh because the generations that knew the style as commonly used are gone
@@evelioroque3706 Arturo brings that swagger, too!
Love it! I like the way he mixes a “tipico” Cuban style with some bebop, all in clave, and a great big trumpet sound. Mossman is one of my favorite Latin jazz arrangers.
Sjsu for the win!
@@_Toucan_Sam_ Ha! Thanks.
Holy frack thats epic
"Frack"? Never heard that one before. 🤣
I like what u did there fellow brasser
NO WAY I've found someone else who uses Frack
Battlestar Galactica? 😆
Yes

I really love that Yulieski showed not only so much technique, but there was also great style and feeling. Wonderful solo!

Can you write a solo like this
Dad?
Tough to play a wind instrument without teeth! I was a pretty hot harmonica guy in my day, til they took out my teeth. Playing with dentures is an invitation for embarrassment.
His solo was beyond insane, the other best part was the facial expressions and reactions of the other band members. 🤣
Its not about all the super high notes and tricks. Yuliesky just gave an old school authentic solo that remind us of why we love Cuban jazz. Bravo.
That is actually not "super-high", actually "mid-high", but the performance is absolutely amazing, even given the "moderate high-ness"...
Once upon a time I dreamed that kind of music. Then I realized how much talent, physical ability and musicianship it would take to even be able to think of doing that and went to work in a radio factory. Que talento.
Few people's hands ever catch up to their ears as far as musical ability, it's no reason to stop trying.
This man played this like a BOSS!!! At that level, a musician is having fun and reading the sheet music like it's the Matrix.
Measure 24 gets EVERY time🎺🔥
this is prolly improvised based on the reactions of the other members, the music is transcribed based on what he played not the other way around
Most definitely. I'm the lead sax player on this session, and we did 3 takes I remember. All very different and amazing, but this one felt incredible. Transcribed this beautiful moment that I experienced live, Yulieski is an amazing trumpet player and person.
The musicians' reactions were very informative.
This brings back memories of when I lived in Cuba, this is the type of music you would hear on the streets.
When the other musicians look over and smile like holy shit, that’s when you know it’s fire
Holy crap! That's amazing!
At first I thought it was a young Arturo Sandoval!
Thanks for sharing this!
Guy is a freak of nature. Salute!
That Solo Definitely Brought That Song Back To Salsas Cuban Roots And That's A Beautiful Thing! ✌️💜✌️
Monstruoso!!!!!!! Tenía que ser de Cuba!!!!!!!!
🇨🇺🎺
As a fellow trumpet player, I can certainly appreciate this skillful solo section. Well done, man.
I can almost hear him talking through the horn. Specially from 0:15 to 0:20. His tone matches the Cuban speech accent so well. So much personal flavor coming through.

Congradulation good djo
Ya Mon, fabulous. Who are the 9 creeps that don't like this?
Trombonists 🙂
People with no taste. Or singers that need autotune.
Or people with well educated good taste that actually dislike this
@@FenceThis I agree it'd be a dull world if everybody liked the same thing but I hope I'd recognise artistry even if I wasn't a fan of the art ....
They’re very bad people.
Hot, spirited, and cool all at the same time. Yeah, baby!
Damn I just freaking love Latin jazz.
Simply Marvelous...!!
one of the craziest solos i've ever heard 🔥
Heart of a lion! That glorious sound and attitude are 🔥
Goosebumps!!!!
This motivates a lot of trumpet players like myself who sometimes lose the passion, very very nice job please don't stop
This dude heard what miles said about putting attitude into the horn and ran with it. Killer stuff
Sweet - pure Cuban smooth and funky
Awesome wow, such a great player!!!
Smooth as fucking butter, incredible!!!! Where can you even learn how to play trumpet? I am beginning to love trumpets
That dude is crazy! His time feel is incredible
That's gotta be the sexiest trumpet solo I've ever heard
Absolute beauty
THAT’S BIG TIME BABY‼️ HOLLYWOOD ... BROADWAY ... WOOOoooooooo 😮
EFFING INSANE SOLO! Wow!!
Yuliesky tapped into Super Saiyan Mode!! 🔥🔥🎺🎶🙌 Love it!!
I didn't know there was such a thing as Latin Jazz until YT put me here. But, now that I found it, I'm liking it :)
🤯 Holy S***!! That was incredible
I never get tired of this solo. Wonderful transcription, guys!

@@SharpElevenMusic Thanks for sharing! Just gave it a listen; each line is fantastic!
Bravo Yuliesky!

Beautiful.

Sofrito nah ma’! 🎶🎺💃🏽🕺🏽
God damn, Latin Jazz hits like a ton of bricks. How can you sit still? The trumpet player is MURDERING! Nice
Espectacular
Bravo, qué sabor ....

Damn!!! Go head kid!!!
That man is a master of his art😳

I love this song so much
Struth! Those bloody high notes,if you are not careful you will bust your lips.
Ok.. simply.. this is the way you do it.
Madre del señor, qué sacada
Those other trumpet players are just sitting there getting smashed in the face with this man’s V I B E
Wow that was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Such a beautiful tone
Amazing!
¡Candela!
For the longest time I thought the guitar was my favorite instrument but man is the trumpet sexy
