      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.

      @@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.

      ​@@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.

    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.

      @winstonwolfe5733 Год назад

      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.
