Summertime... trumpet solo attempt

[@etoile1980]

Thanks all of you!! You're giving me confidence! You're all so sweet with the tiny Amateur that i am! CHEERS ALL

[@justineandrei4705]

man looks like j. cole lol

[@mophahias]

I'd say it's pretty impressive that you took a couple months off of your horn and you sound like this! Seeing as this video is more than a year old, I could only imagine how much you've improved!!

[@etoile1980]

You know man, i went to your page and listened to your version of "who can i turn to"! WHoouaa! I love it! So Chet ! you sound so much like one of my favorite trumpet player! Cheers for that moment!

[@lusitanonl]

Attempt? This was great! I played this on trumpet as a kid decades ago and after seeing this almost feel like picking it up again ... :-)

[@swmita]

It's not always how fast; how high; but how the notes flow and how they are toned. You made the difficult look easy. I liked the way the video ended too. It seemed like you thought of adding something, but then paused; the whole thing had feel. I'm subbing your channel man; a watch and learn type of thing :)

[@adbarboherre]

This is really good dude! I'd like to learn how to play trumpet... I've always wanted to but I have no time... keep up the good work!!

[@jazzforJamie]

Solo attempts is to have something to say, not just licks from some book! i think You taken out of the most in "Summertime" Harmonys on this solo, Great playing, Thumb UP from me! Thank´s Johnny

[@Arborwaychet]

yeh ... I dig it. Nice conception ... and you have listened to a lot of jazz. The understatement is great and the ideas are tasteful ... thanks

[@Master-T-UK]

WHERE ARE U BRO?

[@etoile1980]

still around bro !

[@TheJudge442]

excellent! love how you put your own style on it! loved it!

[@vermilliongecko]

I am a beginner trumpet player learning to play this tune for the first time. It's interesting to see where I can take it once I have mastered the basic tune. Not confident enough to improvise yet, but maybe one day!

[@TarrinLupo]

Solid, so smooth.

[@etoile1980]

+Dr. Tarrin P Lupo Thanks mate !

[@etoile1980]

Yeah, i've never been a big worker... I can play few months a lot, then stop for few next months! Thanks for that comment man! I recorded this with a sony ecm-ms907 and i used sony vegas pro. I love your version of silent night! Cheers mate!

[@etoile1980]

Thanks so much! I should record something new... just to have such nice comments! ;)

[@Ypipable]

Your a very talented musician Mr. Bangura, and I enjoy listening to your music.

[@lartes9854]

Hi David, you really impressed me with your very well-played and innovative version of Summertime that you played here -- great job!! Thanks so much for sharing. It surprised me that you had been away from your trumpet for a few months; because your "rest" from playing doesn't seem to be evident at all in your version here of "Summertime" (at least not to me). I'm an aspiring trumpet player, and I seem to almost constantly have a problem with "blowing out my lips" - and this happens to me after only a short time of playing. When this happens to me, my continuing to practice playing the trumpet only seems to make things worse. The only thing that seems to help me get sold-sounding notes again is for me to take up to three weeks of rest from playing the trumpet. (It's very frustrating.) By the way, any helpful suggestions for me (from anyone here) with regards to my improving my trumpet playing would be greatly appreciated. When my wife heard you playing "Summertime" in this video, she remarked: "That sounds nice - do you think that you could ever learn to play like that on your trumpet?" (She really happens to like the old classic song: "Summertime.") *Note: I've played this song for her in the past - on my chromatic harmonica... :)

[@lartes9854]

I just want to correct a typographical error that I made in the third sentence of my second paragraph (above). I had typed: "The only thing that seems to help me get sold-sounding notes again is for me to take up to three weeks of rest from playing the trumpet." (I had misspelled the word "solid" in the above sentence - [I had typed it as "sold"].) David, I keep coming back and listening to your rendition of "Summertime" here. I think that it's really cool and well-done. Thanks again for sharing it with us.

[@JohnsonSmithson]

3 years late but try to play very soft and avoid using pressure for the high notes

[@etoile1980]

@sandwichtan Man!!! You are making mine too ! Thanks sandwichtan !!

[@zac2780]

I played this for my grade 6 graduation, this brings a tear to my eye

[@83trumpetman]

Utter most respect ! Respect quality smooth sound sounds great bro!! God bless

[@etoile1980]

+83trumpetman I haven't been watching this video for a while, and i'm discovering all the nice and touching comments ! Hard to believe my humble improvisation pleased so many people ! Thanks 83trumpetman

[@kskills50]

Sounds fantastic Sir and I'm a trumpet player! :)

[@stormbikes]

very very good! I need to watch and listen to this often and try and do something similar - keep up the great work

[@Alrukitaf]

"Attempt"? Nailed it I'd say. Superb!

[@TRUMPITI]

Nice to see you struggeling but finally winning the struggle!

[@fanch510]

Quite amazing Vid-Da, so much talent as usual ;^)

[@diz3944]

Great playing!! Did you improvise or where can I get that version?

[@ng3333]

As one of the wisest trumpet (and best in my mind) once said, "Get some weight in that tone boy."(-Wynton Marsalis). And damn do you have weight in it! I love listening to your amazing solos so much!

[@etoile1980]

oh man, i only discover your message today ! 11 years later ! Thank you so much !!

[@etoile1980]

@trumpetsoul Hi man, This is a selmer chorus 80J. I've been improvising by myself for the last 8 years. No teachers, only CD, Vynils, and jazz radio!

[@BenjaminGarness]

That bit at 3:30 is amazing! This is fantastic

[@_kizum]

i loved it...nice tone...it was like the trumpet was singing...!! EXCELLENT

[@JAQ4]

wow thats crazy nice wish i could play like that i just dont have the time to practice. thats my favorite jazz song, we played that in our jazz band in my high school & i got the trumpet solo, but it was nuthin compaired to that.

[@etoile1980]

thanks mate! One other important thing is to ear the note. Ear what you gonna play. That's a thing i'm trying to work those days!

[@etoile1980]

@fanch510 Ah mon petit Fanch! So much kindness as asual ! ;~)

[@AquariusEddie]

David, that was brilliant. Thanks for sharing..

[@etoile1980]

+AquariusEddie Thanks AquariusEddie !

[@Noneofyourbyisness]

Nice job man :) Do u have the link to the backing track ?

[@etoile1980]

If you want it, you'll do it! FOR SURE !! good luck man ! ;)

[@dominikwujek4126]

MASSIVE STYLE MAN. You have gone a litle bit too far with the chromatic passages for me, but this is still one of the best performed summertimes i have EVER seen in my life! And Im a big fan of this standard. Really - this is the top level for me. cheers

[@etoile1980]

+Dominik Wujek You're nuts ;) Thanks for that very vibrant comment' Cheers !

[@justhots]

your passion runs deep.. my son plays, this is inspiration for him.. thank you for sharing.. many blessing, continued success.. peace..

[@etoile1980]

@Gedifinegispaghetti ... not lying man ;) I've been playing trumpet and only trumpet since i'm a child. When you stop few months, things sounds like in this vid.

[@lucaporrini5078]

Questo solo é bellissimo. Complimenti. Sto imparando a suonare la tromba. Sarebbe possibile avere lo spartito 😊😊😊

[@etoile1980]

Ok let's try misty, i also have one... aebersold rules!! ;) I should work this morning (i edit video movie), but lets have some fun!! Rendez vous in one hour...

[@DanjaGanjaGanja]

My too...very nice and impressive ... love that amazing music :)...

[@etoile1980]

@MrBigfach The background music is an aebersold. cant remember wich number sorry... ty btw

[@Alrukitaf]

Still listening in 2020. Cool stuff!

[@merryderryonperry]

Giving it your all dude sounds great

[@sandwichtan]

Thanks.... you made my day happier.

[@shofar-man]

Great sound and you look so relaxed!

[@pamirs94]

this is amazing. you didnt play the trumpet for a few months and youre this amazing? wow. im totally impressed. may i ask how you recorded? what software? what kind of micrphone?

[@habloconpablo]

most of all you've got a very nice sound, and you re able to play every volume, very hard, I hope one day can play as that, tks

[@SleepDeprived67]

Are you a professional player? This is really good...especially compared to the other trumpet videos on KZbin.

[@LowReedExpert1]

I know this is now an old video, but you sound pretty damn good for someone who hasn't played in months

[@etoile1980]

+LowReedExpert1 That is what i'm discovering right now through all the nice comments here, like yours ! Thanks

[@deguijac000]

Oh my god, that's beautiful. :D I'm jealous.

[@Arborwaychet]

I suspect you are able to discover new ideas in the flow of the music ... that's exciting and you must have listened to a lot of jazz to be able to respond like that ... great

[@Dismantled95]

Man, I love this. :D

[@etoile1980]

+Joseph Dragonslayer (“Daewonsong”) My pleasure mate !

[@MrBigfach]

hello,, nice tone, where can the bacjground music..? tx

[@ThePetemata3]

That was real clean bro

[@etoile1980]

+Pete Mata Thanks ! Tried to let things come by themselves, slowly

[@horbergaren]

awesome, but correct me if i am wrong, the trumpet only has 7 tones right?

[@jeffersontrovao78]

Good ! Where do you live?

[@corgebrink]

thanx verry much !much love!

[@KuitlahuakR]

why you don't upload more videos. ?

[@etoile1980]

That's a really nice comment! If you think so, that's maybe we have the kind of same sensibility! See ya man!

[@MrLilshawn95]

for some reason you inspired me to play more.....i wanna practice everyday....but i work...... Can i practice everyday? What should i practice?

[@BOOM8883]

+MrLilshawn95 Im a drummer, but from my experience anything you play, as long as its with the right technique is usefull. It can only help if you play as much music that interests you.

[@Cephlin]

+MrLilshawn95 practise every day for 15 minutes and always try and improve your weakest thing. Get the Real Book if you want to play jazz standards. Or just KZbin search for "trumpet solo" and they usually have the music and a backing track. Don't forget to practise and use your scales, modes, arppegios and try soloing using them over backing tracks.

[@uffesommerlund6523]

+MrLilshawn95 hi Mr. Lilshawn, I get up most days mon-fri @5:00am get into office play in the office from 7:00-08:00 am. Gets the day started...

[@radebasic17]

How can I get the background file? I would like to practise and hopefully learn your solo :-) I find your playing full of soul and emotions although the quality of tone could be better. But the most important your playing is groovy and inspirational. Keep on enjoying trumpet playing !

[@rekindled3624]

Hey dude! Still playing? I love your sound, I'd be curious to know what you sound (and play) like these days Great job regardless!

[@judoandskater]

same trumpet as me i think is a selmer paris sigma?

[@armagedon159]

Soft and elegant.... XD!!! Cool

[@TheTrumpet96]

yeah .. you're good, where did you study? could you recommend a method jazz?

[@etoile1980]

Thanks man! That's nice, but i'm still far from what i would dream of! That's why i gonna work this 2010 year! Cheers!

[@josephvivo6385]

This is sickk💕

[@scott_maness]

This is a sweet track man.

[@etoile1980]

+Scott Maness I woke up a morning, wanting to get my trumpet on my lips again... loaded that aebersold tune, put my mic and filmed me to force me to play more... it worked for 2 or 3 years... lol

[@gabriels9977]

Insane sound i luv it.... What trumpet model it is ?

[@clintweatherford7751]

Wow, you're amazing!

[@OahuLargeScaleTrains]

Beautiful tone . . .

[@gretchenne]

[@horbergus]

[@stephanie9676]

[@MetalArrav]

[@rastareggaeful]

[@awoodmann1746]

[@bleedinghandshughes]

this guy is amazing!!

[@theheroricky]

Really good job man

[@jky980]

[@Gedifinegispaghetti]

@etoile1980 oh, so you've just recently picked it up again? ok i get that

[@TheBand33k]

[@horbergus]

Your tone is like chocolate and ice cream after a meal of smokey beef steak with fresh Swedish potatoes

[@Larrix43]

I'm digging it! Sounds great to me =)

[@etoile1980]

@JazzNaySean thank you man!

[@TheTrumpet96]

[@stevejones789]

Great job brutha!!

[@laboratoriya]

Thank you. I love it

[@user-hr5uj1wq5q]

Fantastic

[@etoile1980]

Thanks!!

[@Julian_Stony]

Thats awesome! Really relaxing! Where did you gotten the "karaoke"? Greetings and a happy new year!;)

[@dilboteabaggins]

Sounds like a band in the box backing track.

[@scott_maness]

Juli Stony That's from Jamey Aebersold

[@etoile1980]

+Juli Stony (“FSX”) Exactly what Scott Maness answered below, it's an aebersold track ! Thanks and Cheers Juli !

[@Spinney21000]

This is awesome wish i could play like this!

[@mobgun00hero]

try to not pinch your lips when you play higher notes, instead blow through the note, because there is no up or down, your sound will improve a lot more that way and wont sound so thin, but not a bad solo!

[@etoile1980]

@jazzforJamie That nice from you Johnny! Thank you

[@2173cr]

you have the most difficult an important thing...heart.

[@etoile1980]

@gretchenne Thanks dude!

[@deguijac000]

You might want to have a more, whats the word, aggressive and a more dominant tone when it comes to the quick run throughs.

[@blipmode84]

you sound like a mix between chet and miles to create your own style. good work

[@joaosouza1407]

Ótimas canções bons tempos.
