Allen Vizzutti - Fire Dance!

Allen Vizzutti playing his hit song Fire Dance with the Hawaii Big Band on April 18, 2009 at the Pearl City Cultural Center in Honolulu, Hawaii

"This composition was written in the 70's and was featured with the Woody Herman Band." He's so humble that he doesn't take credit for being the composer or the performer for which he was both. 😄😄😄

Vizzutti was feeling it that night bros. Best performance I've seen him give.

[@AmericanPenguin20]

I've watched so many performances of Allen Vizzutti playing this song and I definitely think this is his best ending trumpet solo! So much humor and creativity compared to his other versions, love it!

[@waynebritton1436]

American Penguin I disagree with this being his best performance of Firedance. The showmanship was a cover when he made a couple of errors going for ridiculously high notes. Of course the fact that he can even hit those notes were a credit to his virtuosity. The best one to me was the one in 77 with the Woody Herman band. I can’t always find that performance with the video.

fun to see him stare at his trumpet every time he pulls it off, it's like "good job, buddy" :D Fantastic player

[@themeleed]

I love his sense of humor.

[@cpthornman]

I played on that stage a few years ago!!! That is so cool to say I've performed where he's performed.

Absolute fucking genius

[@seanafband]

haha thanks for uploading reece

[@gabrielarias3937]

Awesome circular breathing @ 5:50

[@TDG1919]

Jerry Springer on bass. That's the funniest thing ever!!lmao

[@gsman5828]

Yeah I know who I am talking about! I was being sarcastic. Didn't you see the "j/k"? He is a monster player that I totally respect!

[@Eweyhen]

oh my god that was the shit

[@waynebritton1436]

Has anyone noticed that Allen has a habit of slightly if at all adjusting his tuning slide. I think it’s a nervous habit he does. Not really adjusting his intonation.

[@gsman5828]

I think he needs to improve on his technique a little!! j/k Wow! So much talent. His sound is so solid! Thanks for posting!

[@Dmmac]

Yeah, if he keeps practicing, he could be something some day LOL (JK) - Wow! what a talent!! :)

[@Lurrkiing]

Someone please tell me who wrote the original song of this because I can't figure it out

[@dukeoftrumpet]

Slaughter Allen Vizzutti and Jeff Tyzik

[@123dofo]

was that jerry springer on base

[@trallfraz]

I've never heard him do this without the usual clams.........maybe he should practice more!!

[@deMeij1]

springers totally on guitar, not bass.

[@jeanpaulgilleron3766]

Vous êtes un phénomène de technique mais la musique est ce cela uniquement .une mélodie toute simple jouée avec simplicité comme maurice andré et d'autres apporte bien plus. La recherche du suraigu n'apporte absolument rien d'intéressant sauf si c'est bach concerto brandebourgeois ou les cantates.ça 'a a du style.

[@patrickwinslow]

I always like the ridiculous disparaging comments by trumpet players who say they wouldn't or shouldn't even try after listening to this. Think "guitar shredding" thousands of guys can shred. So why can't you do this? (i.e. too lazy to practice)

[@charliecampbell6851]

This comment is insanely old; but here's the deal. There's maybe 5 people in the world who could attempt this. It's not just 'guitar shredding' on trumpet. We aren't being the average annoying self-deprecating people. This is literally the hardest jazz solo for trumpet written. Hands down. At least, I've never heard one that even came close.

[@imemogirl99]

Completely diff.horrible band behind-.- no offence kayy

[@nickniehaus1763]

wooyeah every band is horrible behind Vizzutti
