I Just played lead on a Sinatra Show i produced at Blue Note Waikiki and we opened with Billy Byers "Come Fy With Me". The reason why is because of John Madrid. Coincidentally, THE You Tube advertisement Photo of this video was taken at precisely the exact moment of the last note of that arrangement. Yes thats a 20 year old me playing 2nd trumpet next to a 27 year old John Madrid. Serendiptidly, this last note moment is indelibly pasted in my trumpet memory. Don Hutchinson once described Johns lead playing as a "vacuum" that would sweep and entire Band. Long arrangement short, i never hit my last note. But i thought i did. I felt i did. But i didn't. I got so into Johns incredible playing that my heart hit that note right along with him....Perfectly.......but nothing came out....but emotionally i nailed it. Thank you John Madrid. Any one or two of you cats that played with him know what i mean.
Adam Preciado here, my teddy bear growing up known as "Johnny Bear" was gifted to me from Johnny when I was born. I have heard so many stories over the years about Johnny from my dad, KO, Aunt Bernie and Uncle Derrick over the years, this documentary was a great addendum to tie those stories together into a cohesive picture. The man, the myth, the legend Johnny Madrid, may you live in infamy, may you live in our hearts.
Wow, what a wonderful tribute. I just came across this today, July 29, 2022. I had the privilege of playing in the band at Montebello High School for a year with Johnny as a bandmate. He was a senior and I a sophomore. He was an extraordinary talent. He lived one street over from my home in Monterey Park, and I would occasionally catch a ride with him to rehearsal for the City of Commerce Youth Band. I remember Johnny as a true gentleman and a genuinely kind human being. Oh, yeah, Robert Preciado was also in the band at Montebello and was in the same graduating class as I, 1968. He was a total delight and just a good guy. We seemed to always be laughing together. RIP John and Robert, 2 wonderful. classy guys gone too soon.
The Amazing Johnny Madrid! Glad to have known him. I met him in late 70's on the beach at the Kool Jazz Festival in the Waikiki area in Honolulu. Was invited to jam with his band which was incredible. Such an all around fun guy.
John Madrid was a good friend. I as fortunate enough to have John play lead trumpet in my first band in the early 70's. And my first gig in Los Angeles was with Johnny. And the last time Johnny played for me was on a Direct To Disk session at RCA about 1979. On direct to Disk, the entire side had to be recorded in one take, and wanting to literally end on a high note, John was asked to hit a high G and hold it at the end of "Tragedy", which he did flawlessly, as always. But it kept "blowing Chips" on the disk, ruining the entire side, meaning we had to record all 5 songs again. It took a while for the engineers to figure out what was happening and get it right, and we must have done 4 takes, and John was spot on every time. The best. Thanks so much for putting this video together. A great memorial to Johnny Madrid.
I remember Johnny telling me about this right after the session. He was very proud and chuckled as he figured his sound was too much for their gear to handle. Thanks for sharing!
John Madrid played in Honolulu in the late 70s - he was a force!! That Opening might be from the recording of the Hawaii Select Stage Band - 1975? When is the band’s director.
Wow K.O.! A great tribute to Johnny. I’ll never forget the weekend you, Robin and I spent the weekend at Johnny’s house in Las Vegas and went to work with him at the Wayne Newton show in 1983. It’s truly one of the highlights of my life. Such a kind and caring man and an amazing trumpet player. He was gifted in so many ways. You’ve really captured the essence of Johnny here.
Hey JT! That was a fun Vegas hang for sure. Glad you like this piece. It took me awhile but as the old saying goes "life is what happens while you're busy making plans..."
WOW! Thank you for this! I was the lead trumpeter in that 1975 high school band in Hawaii. John Madrid taught me so much about how to play lead. Lessons that I've carried to this day.
I was there at that concert in 1975. I remember seeing like a steam coming from the bell of his horn when he played - so much clean power! I played in the 1976 Oahu HS select Band - Ira Nepus was the guest director!
One of the many reasons I put this together was because I often felt Johnny did not have the notoriety he deserved. Keep spreading the word and have great gigs!
In 1979 John Madrid came to our high school, Schurr High in Montebello, CA and he played with us in our stage band for our spring concert that year and we recorded an album with him. When he first walked into the band room for a rehearsal I didn't know who this guy was, but after playing with him that week I got an education of not only who he was and how great a trumpet player he was, but playing in the same section with such a great player was a treat and an inspiration. I'm sure that experience helped my trumpet playing.
Hi Richard, K.O. here. I'm glad you commented. Do you have a copy of that album from 1979? I would love to hear it! If you have a vinyl copy, I'd be happy to digitize it for you. Thanks!
KO has really outdone himself with this wonderful tribute to John and I am touched looking back at him playing in my Los Angeles Jazz Workshop and San Diego State University bands. We first met playing a recording session in LA and we hung out none-stop for 3 days after (lots of diet cokes)! We had a musical chemistry from the first. Both pitch and time/feel are concepts, and he and I felt them exactly the same. We were close from those first notes together at this session for the rest of his life. KO remembering the wild dogs at my house in Mexico is completely true. A life cut short way too soon. I'm going to turn 71 now and he was only 42 and older than me. Life is not always fair. Besides his incredible musical abilities, he is remembered for his generosity and kindness as a wonderful human being. What a great legacy for all of us to try to live up to. He never let you pick up the check! Bill Yeager
Thanks for completing this, K.O.! Back in the day you made me a cassette compilation of Johnny Madrid excerpts, and I still go back to it and share with friends and students. He deserves to be remembered and celebrated like this!
What a nice tribute and fun stuff about John, thanks! I met John when he was with Woody Herman (in his Benge days), then with Buddy Rich. Such a wonderful cat and perfect player. And he treated you as his friend immediately.
amazing player that was gone too soon. he could light the band up and big sound, wow! i got to watch "the book" from behind the trbs at the stardust production show in las vegas. john haig's "relief band" playing. the trumpet section was johnny madrid, lyn nicholson, vinnie tanno, and bobby hamilton. they played the horn line of "get it on". 4 octave unisons, from middle G, high G, double G (lyn) and johnny playing into the 4th octave and all in tune! OMG
I played trumpet in the Alvino Rey Orchestra and toured with Alvino, the Four King Sisters and King Family. John did a three month tour with us. Sitting next to him on stage every night was an experience but travelling all over the country in the bus with him was an adventure. Thank God I had the chops to keep up with him. His restaurant exploits are legendary and true! RIP, my friend.
Hi K.O. ! This is the video I have waited for since we had an email conversation many years ago about John , THIS IS FANTASTIC !!! Thank you very much !!! Best regards from Sweden, Ulf Garton 🎺
Many thanks for this great document, you made a very good and essential job for introducing such a legend. Thanks again KO (and John Mohan, i've seen your name at the end, see you in Nice one day John :)
Thank you thank you thank you for putting this together. I've been a long time looking for anything from John Madrid. I just by chance stumbled upon this documentary. There are too many trumpet players outside the LA studio and band scene who've never heard of John Madrid. I'm trying to spread the word about him and his legacy. Awesome!
Great Job K.O.! I wish I could of known Johnny. I think I might of ween him play with the Rams Band. But he didn't shine as brightly as in this video. What a talent!
K.O. You’ve put together a wonderful piece of history here. Thank you for your excellent contribution! I always wanted to meet him in person and hear him live
I’m excited to listen to more of this. I know you have worked on this a long time and I remember you telling me about it before and at ITG 2016. I know this was a labor of love to honor your friend. That Wayne Newton clip is crazy and I will never forget you playing that for me back when we did the Ren Fair gigs. Very cool to hear it again!
I can't believe no one has asked what mouthpiece he played on. what did he die from? I've watched this twice now, thanks so much for your time and trouble to put this together.
I knew Johnny from 1974 until he died. For most of this time he played a Reeves 42/S 692s with either a #2 or #5 sleeve on a Schilke B6L (Beryllium Bell). For the extreme upper register playing he switched to a Large Bore Calicchio with a very shallow Giardinelli Rigby Powell mouthpiece. After awhile he switched horns to a Schilke S42. In the last few years he went to a Reeves 42/M 692s mouthpiece. I am working on a companion video to give more back story stuff. Thanks for joining the conversation! K.O.
@@bluesbaby1958 one "minor" addendum. At least during the Vegas years he used to use the B6 with the 42/S 692s and a B3L with the piece he got from Rigby. If I recall correctly, Rigby acquired it when he was with Woody Herman.. one of those "somebody gave me" deals. The Giardinelli was the copy. Johnny gave me one to play around with...I got one from Vladimir @ Giardinelli who stamped them JM :-) Johnny was such a cool cat... truly bigger than life. I met him in '73 I think.. he did a clinic in Monterey. "Come to LA.. . we'll hang". I remember when he met Arturo Sandoval.... Johnny was playing with some Latin band at a place on LaBrea. I'm standing there next to Arturo who didn't seem to speak much English... he kept punching my arm and excitedly exclaiming PHENOMEN PHENOMEN over and over. He loved playing in Salsa bands...He played the same no matter where or with whom! Didn't matter if it was Boz, or Wayne or the cats in the Latin band at the little dive joint across from McArther Park. If he was playing.. he was ALL in. KInda like his relationship with sugar...Johnny saved me on numerous occasions. He helped get me on my feet in Vegas... My "gig" was to meet him at the door to The Aladdin. I had a box seat and listened (my lesson) after which we'd eat and hang out. He gave me a little copy work to make a few extra $$ JM made certain I wasn't gonna starve. So many memories... he was a dear friend and I miss him! K.O thank you SO much for this compilation... -Danny B. hmm ps. It'd be nice if his collection of horns got restored...last I heard, his sister had them.
@@Solazur007 Thanks for adding this. I believe the "dive joint" you reference was named "Virginia's." I heard him there as well with Harry Kim on the band. Another aspect of this gig was each break included a trip to a different eatery from Taco trucks to whatever. Good times.
Hey Dave ... Long time no see my friend. What wonderful memories of Johnny ... not only one of the BEST trumpet players ... but also a 'Class Act'! K.O. did an amazing job.
@10 02 min 😳😵what the f#%! Is Madrid playing waaaaayyyyy up there! Never heard anything like it before on trumpet!!! And i ve heard lots of screamers!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯⁉️ wow g$!@ damn! I started listening to his screaming late 1999-2000 in college on that famous trumpet stuff website . I ve always wanted to know more about about him, the player, but couldnt until today. Thank you very much for this documentary . 🙏🏻 You are awesome 👌🏾 👏🏾 👍🏾! ❤
I am working on some shorter videos that I think of like "Directors Commentaries" based off of this piece. In them, I will relay some back stories and things about playing that Johnny explained to me.

All of the audio for this project came from cassettes and/or VHS or 8MM video. Most of it had been copied and transferred from medium to medium over many years. As a result, getting it to sound correct takes a lot of skill and many hours of work. Fortunately I have a good friend who has these skills and who spent many hours making the interviews audible and the music shine. My plan is to work on more of it and release different cuts as time permits.

Just discovering this guy after playing trumpet for 40 years. How did I miss him? Incredible sound!!

There has never been anyone, Jim Manley excepted, who could do what John did at 9.59. Utterly incredible.
Not even Sandoval? Patrick Hession?
@@da11kingI’ve yet to hear them do it.

Thank you for this! His triples are amazing, anyone know how he practiced that?
I am working on some shorter videos that I think of like "Directors Commentaries" based off of this piece. In them, I will relay some back stories and things about playing that Johnny explained to me.
Thank You
Anybody know where I could buy the arrangement of we've only just begun that Johnny plays at the start
Awesome!

If I remember correctly, Johnny went straight to Las Vegas with contract when he graduated from Montebello in 67 when I arrived at HQMC Wash., D C. I recall Stan Kenton picked him up then and is listed here...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jazz_Compositions_of_Dee_Barton
