Love the fact that people could hear this for the first time and think it’s just such a chill song lmao

This has been on my christmas playlist for over a half decade now

I find myself here every time I think of Christmas

Wayne.

Then to hear his story about him being in a frustrated mood while recording and ripped into that note only for him to be required to do it there on out 😂

The first time I heard Maynard Ferguson Big Bop Nouvea “ Caught In A Current”, I opened up the credits and there was a young Wayne Bergeron playing lead trumpet. He inspired me to become a lead player as well as a soloist. Incredible playing on this piece 🔥🤛🏽!!

2:17-2:21 Brillant chord passage!

This guy is an amazing trumpet player.

One of my favorites. I’ve been meaning to buy a fluegelhorn for years but I’m picky

I just stumbled upon this. I absolutely loved hearing my great Aunt Rena’s voice once again. 🥰

It’s ok but I like it slower this song is holy and it needs respect when you play it you got to go deep so that when people hear it they feel the love of Jesus Christ. Marry Christmas everyone God bless America 🇺🇸

my personal goal is to be able to play high notes as clear as Wayne, I believe that anyone can play 'high' but to be as clear as Wayne. it's just what I want

Looks great!! We gonna have to try those!!

Love this!!!

I am a huge fan of Wayne Bergeron for me he is one of the greatest leads in the history of the Trumpet

Great video. It looks a magical place

The 43 people who disliked this can’t play high

The most impressive part is when he returns to the normal register of the horn, and it’s so full and dark, other people would have be all over the horn looking for the final notes cracking and whatnot, but not him he hit it dead on.

what a great arrange with smooth play^^

Wayne Bergeron wow what can one say? Not forgetting this amazing arrangement !!

Pure and clean from bottom to top, as good as it gets.

The only thing that would make this better is if the kiss off at the end wasn't present

God bless Breckenridge. Awesome, Cheers.

I bet you 500k that almost everyone is waiting for 2:15

Look forward to your Presidency, Vernon.

Enjoyed your video! Wishing you happiness and success as the new President of the Exchange Club of Sugar Land, TX. You deserve the recognition , and it couldn't have happened to a nicer and more deserving person. Warmly, Ron

Can't imagine what musician would not like this, sorry to the few thumbs down, this is magnificent. The Phil Cobb arrangement mentioned below is a bit out of style and a tone down I think. Wayne is a superb player and I agree with all the comparisons to Maynard. Much cleaner and spot on. I also agree with comments made earlier about Maynard in his younger days. Get a hold of Maynard Ferguson - Verve Jazz Masters 52, with tracks recorded during the 50's. Maynard's playing is fantastic. He plays beautiful jazz and the upper register is so very clean. I think he became a bit of caricature in the 70's. Just to put it all in perspective, I heard Doc Severinsen at the Canadian National Exposition (CNE) in 1975. Two nights in a row he played the Carpenter's Ballad "A Song for You". After many minutes of up and down the horn, from low G's to Eb above high C, he finished with a run to double Eb. As he did so many times on the Tonight Show, he held the double Eb with one hand on the horn and took the band out with the other. Breathtaking playing two nights in a row, outdoors in a bandshell. Phenomenal!!

So Soothing !

A student of??

Great arrangement by Mr. Kubis, as always!

It’s good but prefer for hear Phil Cobb playing it don’t get me wrong I think Wayne is a great player and I love this arrangement but search Phil cobb

Nice double F sharp

No one is compared to Wayne, the greatest lead musician of our generation. Please go and listen to him live while you can!

For the first time in my life I hit a Double C this morning. It wasn't strong or well supported but the pitch was there. If I keep working it will improve! Double G used to be my upper limit - no longer! Thank you Wayne for the inspiration!!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful. We need to hear more music from Wayne. I take exception to the Maynard bashers. those people should listen to Maynard in the Fifties and early Sixties. He traveled in cars and buses playing almost every night for night for nine months straight.

30 ppl thumbs down??,,,what a shame!!!

Wayne is the top player in L.A.

Wow

Terek Watkins would have played it in this manner.

Merry Christmas!

beatiful

Actually, the final high note is cleaner than Maynard, who would probably screech and squeal a bit, while Wayne's ultra-high is a pure, smooth musical note.

This guy plays beautifully like Doc Severinsen and Chris Botti, but his high notes equal to Maynard Ferguson and Lin Biviano (to be fair, Doc does too).

2:19-2:59...............chills...........

Nice double C!

WoW.

This song is off my favorite Christmas album of all time. Every year I wait until its "OK" to start playing it. This is with out a doubt my favorite arrangement of any Christmas song ever. In fact I would put it up their in my top five all time favorite songs. period.

this is where I'd like to live.

I've been playing trumpet for 45 years. I've studied out of the Arbans book. I'm still studying it. I don't think there are too many trumpet players that can play everything in the Arbans. If you can, than you are a great trumpet player. The upper register, as all horn players know, is very difficult to do. Especially clearly. Wayne, in my opinion, is one of the best trumpet players I had ever heard. That even includes MF, who was sloppy compared to Wayne. The tonality is incredible. Have you ever tried making your horn scream in the upper register and then come down and hold a middle d like Wayne does at the end of the song? I agree with Amanda. Wayne is unbelievable.

But this guy is unbelievable his notes are so clean
