Colbert Tries Jazz Trumpet

[@dedit_o]

when the jazz director tells you to improvise on the spot

[@thatoneguymccool1469]

a big toe every Friday morning we have a professional jazz musician come in and last week he asked for improve volunteers and no one responded and as 2nd tenor he looked right at me and asked me if I wanted to improv I physically couldn’t say no he said I did good sounded decent but I got really scared since I never improved for a real jazz musician before just the BD

[@etau]

My band teacher will tell me in the middle of a song “improvise” and I go bat shit. But sometimes it sounds awesome

[@rubberduckykingjr33]

At least he knew how to buzz his lips. I expected him to just blow air into it.

[@hankkirby5386]

Adam Le Yeah

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

He actually managed to get a clean note a couple of times, I honestly think he might have some talent for this

[@darksunday3012]

maybe if I did his forbidden ritual when I started trumpet, I could be like 5x better!

[@Johnflugelhorn]

WOW! At the very end Colbert played a wild vibrato riff!

[@rexdipietro116]

John Healy ikr he didn't even know it

[@user-gi3ro9rm9k]

pretty sure he was just a hair out of tune

[@isetta4083]

Q nahhh

[@FortYort]

The sax player actually carried him and saved him pretty nicely, I think.

[@thankyouforyourcompliance7386]

Yes, he was very nice and supportive

[@i_cam]

My man Eddie got it in the bag

[@hopefulhyena3400]

Trumpet players watch this and die laughing. We've lost so many. Stop the madness.

[@gilgermesch]

The drummer's faces are the best - his surprise at the end is pure gold!

[@wonsup3]

Thank you so much for posting this! I am teaching a Jazz class and told the students there are no mistakes in Jazz improvisation then showed them this video. They loved it!

[@stirdy4stirdy]

Trumpet represent This honestly is very good for a first timer, when I first got hold of a trumpet I sucked the mouthpiece like he did and not understanding why there was no sound coming out. He did really well for a first timer, also did a sick vibrato at the very end lol

[@Erichx14]

Yeah mean. What He was TRYING to play was pretty good lol

[@CartmanMorisato]

*shake

[@ericradulovich9823]

you did what to the mouthpiece??? just like him???

[@mpcminecrafter]

Damn he deepthroted the hell out of that trumpet

[@dedompler]

1:10 He should know better. This is great editing material.

[@mattvj5]

The sax players reaction makes this video. Nice little seal at the end too!

[@ZackBrannon]

When someone at the gig calls Giant Steps but your classical trumpet player

[@archerfan66]

What Coltrane album is this?

[@RAevenman]

Haha I saw this :)

[@arabesque1]

A Love Supreme

[@LinkSeth]

That made me so happy! Proud of you Stephen!

[@chrissancho809]

Ya like jazz?

[@shiningarmor2838]

The ironic part is, I actually do like jazz.

[@jasminely8392]

Asking the same thing man

[@Calakapepe]

No, that's no good.... Here she comes! Speak, you fool!

[@MegaMouldyBanana]

Ya try jazz?

[@alebcay-]

Peteto Chibs some kind of concert a blues, basically just made up.

[@areciboy]

You know, he didn't sound completely awful

[@RAevenman]

I agree, and I'm a jazz guitarist.

[@ottodude555]

Remarkable how the rest of the band could adjust to fit Colbert's random note and make it seem natural.

[@eklektek5032]

Id say that's jazz. Jazz isn't playing the "right" note, it's about playing what the soul feels.

[@brendanlee5018]

It still means playing in tune. Lol

[@nsengipaci]

There are no wrong notes in jazz, some are more right than others tho

[@aryotaheri7421]

+Jazz with Emmanuel You have a point, but I prefer to put it like "any note can be the right note in Jazz". The difference is subtle but it's there :)

[@DaveDexterMusic]

That claim has also been made for many other genres.

[@6151jeppe]

Nope it doesn't listen to TEN FREEDOM SUMMERS

[@norabiddogz8673]

This is probably the funniest trumpet joke video I ever seen. I play Jazz trumpet on an amateur level but I was genuinely quite impressed when he tried to play. Also, I am definitely stealing that vibrato thing he did in the end. That would be a sick way to end a solo for sure.

[@xheadhuntahx4019]

When he came in it actually sounded good lol

[@mattvj5]

Loved the sax players reaction

[@evilherojain4412]

Colbert improvises better than I do

[@crimsun7186]

Please...Never suck on the trumpet's mouthpiece like that again....

[@officerdooderino5266]

Crimson Sunrise cry more

[@biggusdickus1689]

Never tell a comedian what to do

[@CartmanMorisato]

That's not what his wife said.

[@cwbattisto8059]

I thought Freddie Mercury was dead, who knew...

[@rothloaf1980]

We need a duet with Stephen and H Jon Benjamin

[@GoTE_DocShock]

Well played Colbert!

[@briansykora4542]

Actually, It was all very poor.

[@GoTE_DocShock]

That's the joke.

[@Rhythmicons]

The bad jazz that the cat blows wails long after he's gone.

[@beek2027]

play it already

[@luvedo14]

I lost it when he put the mouth piece in his mouth. hahah

[@leamariebutcher]

What song is this?

[@TheEduzar]

Not quite my tempo.

[@kmart3453]

Me doing regular trumpet

[@draj8590]

This is not cringe this IS Jazz. Jazz is freedom.

[@coder6434]

he jazzed his pants

[@HelloThere6043]

It takes a pretty skilled musician to make a beginner trumpet player's solo bop.

[@thinkablebaileylim6168]

Colbert: *eats trumpet mouthpiece*

[@josteinv.jordet257]

The worst thing is that it kinda sounds good.

[@williamgregory1848]

Arturo Sandoval: “When I come on this man’s show, I’m going to ruin him.”

[@MichaelGawesebmainone]

That’s what they do with jazz trumpet

[@dafrontyardigans9137]

As a trumpet player my heart died a little

[@pj-vb5rk]

I shouldn't be exposed to cringe in this form

[@steveng6271]

get on with it!😂😂

[@ataurus62]

This is like when Bill Cosby got up in front of a band as though he was going to play something.

[@charvelgtrs]

There are no wrong notes in jazz.

[@dylaninpieces2]

First-time Bugle boys be like...

[@MukulVyas5]

Can anyone tell me the name of this group and the guy playing the sax and also the song. Wow they were amazing

[@morayk8456]

Mukul Vyas I can at least say the band's name is John Batiste & Stay Human.

[@Ranakade]

I bet Arturo Sandoval was pointing a gun at him behind the camera 🤣

[@terrenceharrington9454]

where did you get that "trumpet". The dumpster?

[@SushiTIKO]

2020 any1

[@AY-ue8lj]

What is the instrument in the guest's hand at the very beginning????

[@Rothley131gamezz]

melodica

[@dariusduesentrieb]

thats very funny

[@kizzericgraves5921]

someone transcribe that lick

[@solaribass2491]

Next time try putting air into the trumpet

[@benf340]

Back when he was actually funny

[@pokeballdawn]

*burts an eye vessel*

[@MoodyBlues22]

Cringe level over 9000

[@freedomfyodor]

Colbert is a cringe machine now

[@khankhan-wz3tu]

why do u say that?

[@colindebaggis1262]

because it wasnt funny and he thinks it is

[@joeyouyang]

first three note: hey that's pretty good the rest: ......

[@kadegainey5123]

Sax player looks like Anthony kiedis

[@simonhartrich6148]

actually was not that bad

[@brucewayne4172]

The next Charlie Parker

[@The20thCenturyLimited]

being a trumpet player.....I got cancer from this...

[@nicklh186]

...heh...

[@pongespob]

He's better at trumpet than he is at social commentary or so-called "comedy".

[@sachiperez]

it wasn't beautiful, but it was musical!... and a little pornographic

[@jenniferoyen1851]

what the heak??

[@gabrielwan1187]

i think you mean what the fuak

[@ПётрИльи́чЧайковский-ь9м]

wut

[@tonylocks28]

🙄🤔

[@frostychickenprods]

This seems more like something Colbert would do kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqHLdK2ajcR_iKM (my thing was made first)

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

remember when he wasn't a sell-out?

[@thatguywiththeravioli386]

Alex's Bikes and Motors Yesss😢😢

[@StudioTrumpeter]

смеялся очень долго

[@drkillee3236]

so unsatisfying

[@johnellis877]

Deez nutz is a better player than that

[@sambertholf7738]

John Ellis real funny. Oh wait you're 2 years late

[@markjuarez6469]

That saxophonist looks like my ex... ugh...

[@unicorn41]

clown

[@kensssolomon8696]

wtf

[@mmfsonb3252]

I don't see how this is funny

[@mux3044]

I find this very offensive towards women ..

[@grilledcateggs6389]

I play the trumpet and I saw that he held the trumpet wrong, CRINGE

[@xavierperez9934]

doge. how did he hold it wrong?

[@stirdy4stirdy]

There actually are multiple ways of holding the valves. He held the trumpet right.

[@EvilMandark13]

this is so cringe

[@F0CKSTR0T]

I feel like I've seen this exact thing somewhere else before.

[@michaelvan1009]

Fawkstraht maybe you were dreaming about this? :p

[@viscosity7893]

It was deja vu another you in another world line experienced the same thing you have in this world line

[@brassflyer4284]

Cringe like this shouldn't exist

[@heartandtroll9993]

This is the worst thing on KZbin.

[@aliyahquinton378]

Cringgeeeee

[@bluebeef563]

cringe

[@Creepin4Creepers]

At least he knew how to buzz his lips. I expected him to just blow air into it.
