beautiful man with great sense of humour and fun; a beautiful, soulful musician with great sense of melody and harmony, and a wonderful trumpet player. Clever and able transcripton of the music played. What is there not to love about this?

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

Just the swingin-est cat ever. Noone like him

[@robertbranco1126]

Very underrated trumpet player .. one of the best of all time

[@AlexeyStepin]

I agree!

[@popinmid]

Only underrated by rubes who don’t know their jazz history. Anyone who actually listens knows his wealth of contributions and accomplishments.

[@robertbranco1126]

@@AncientRe well not talked about much compared to others who played trumpet during the same time .. no a slight but a complement .. probably the most perfect and effective chops

[@AlexeyStepin]

@@robertbranco1126 i am a former classical player. He's tone and accuracy is just perfect combination for jazz imo

Dare you to listen without smiling....

[@MatenesisVlogs]

Tuning? But outstanding

[@julienkusnierz689]

Salut aurait tu les partitions en pdf s'il te plaît ?

[@AlexeyStepin]

Gmail me

[@giocoso4576]

is it just me or it's painfully sharper

[@AlexeyStepin]

Yeah, but not painfully. I think it's the Flugelhorn tone

[@otmq]

Clark was indeed quite sharp here. He may have forgotten to pull his tuning slide out for the temp of the room. Sometimes performers will adjust their slide for a certain room or outdoor temp, and then forget to adjust it later or the next day. There’s also the knowledge that playing sharp allows one to very easily harmonically sit atop and forward of the band. Louis Armstrong played sharp for the same reasons. It seems this trend is found more among trumpeters in the later parts of their careers. The common joke- “Better to be sharp than out-of-tune!”

[@AlexeyStepin]

@@otmq Oh damn) That's what i am calling an "extended answer" XD I agree with the take "better to be sharp", on trumpet it's much easier to glide a little down instead of trying to glide upwards

[@AlexeyStepin]

@@otmq Lol, i know you!) Watched some videos about double A. This was my "problem" note about a year ago)

[@otmq]

@@AlexeyStepin I HATE double Bb. I also hate F# and G… haha

[@mikecamarillo2736]

😎🎺🎺🎺😎🔥😎🎺🫰YESSIR🫰🎺😎

[@rescue270]

That's a flugelhorn. Not a trumpet.

[@AlexeyStepin]

Yes, i know

[@flosch95]

@@AncientRe😂

[@billbellinger6866]

Basically the same. Flugelhorn has a fatter softer sound as in mellower and warmer than the cornet which is warmer than the brassier or brighter sharper sound of a trumpet. Most are B flat like the trumpet and cornet but some are pitched in C. No great significance in their slight differences.

[@AlexeyStepin]

@@billbellinger6866 Yeah 👍. I just wrote "trumpet" so that more people would find this video. Not many people searching specifically for "Flugelhorn solo"

[@ChefChrisDay]

Ladies and gentlemen the captain is here. Thank God you're here to point out the obvious.

[@vova47]

First 7 bars is one G chord? Really? 🤣

[@AlexeyStepin]

I am not sure about first 2 but then yeah, this is Bye Bye Blackbird, G standard)

[@sergeybanon608]

Он ещё ничего. А выбы послушали Гилеспи это полный отстой, проф не природный.

[@AlexeyStepin]

Ну слушай, тут ему на видео уже под 90) Мне кажется так играть в таком возрасте - это шикарно. В свои годы он играл просто невероятно круто
