Glenn you were born for playing amazing beautiful music 🎶 for you are so very blessed by god. 😊 I’ll never forget you I’ll be playing some jazz on the piano tonight.
This performance is INCREDIBLE. I've worked with young musicians for over thirty years but this is TALENT. The phrasing and rhythm are so advanced, never mind the "high note". And great humility is clearly present: a sign of greatness. Bravo, Mr. Zottola!
You have to be born with the passion to reach you're full potential like Glenn did. It's like a pilot light on a stove, a little ever burning flame in your heart that ignites into a big flame of passion when something you hear triggers it. You're either born with it or you're not . Glenn probably heard records of Harry James or Louis Armstrong at a young age and that was it! The rest is history! It's hard work and lots of practice no doubt but it's a gift inside of you. Anyone can learn to play, the difference is the super talented person gets all the green lights in a row and goes and goes and goes. The person with limited talent at some point hits a wall and can't go any further.
Wow Al I am humbled by your comments thank you. Yes my dad was a great musician and exposed me to Louie early on actually a friend of his and Louie was my first mentor. I played 78 records of Louie and Harry and yes that was my foundation my whole career.
thanks Dennis :) I have a new album out currently in the Grammy's would love to have a comment from you. Here is the link : ruclips.net/video/Q8DiGUJm15Q/видео.html
So ADORABLE!! Damn.. you were so young, so talented! I don't think I missed many Ted Mack Amateur Hour shows. It was one of my favorites! I always wondered.. what exactly was Geritol?? Fast forward... Some days now, I wish I had some Geritol. LOL!
Wow this was awesome performance. The tone was great. Everything was so good. Reminds me of my grandfather's playing trumpet he was Bunny Berigan. Did he go on to play for a living ?
Actually I remember doing a jazz festival in the 80s and after the performance a lady came up to me and said my dad would love that performance I am Bunny Berigan’s daughter ?
@@glennzottola Do you remember where that was ? Could have been my Aunt or my Mom. You know there is a book out about Bunny called Mr Trumpet. By Michael Zirpolo he has a web page. He writes about the history and persons in jazz. He is a fantastic writer. I know him through communicating from Facebook. Still can't get over your performance. I played trumpet in Jr high school could not come close to you.

How is it possible for a little kid playing with such technique and nerve in his tone?? 😮

@@glennzottola ooooh yeah, that explaines a whole lot 👍
Never met the sons, just the Dad at the house and shop. Nice guy. He made me lunch, and some great mouthpieces! jw
