Into the Faddisphere - Jon Faddis

Into the Faddisphere by Jon Faddis from his album "Into the Faddisphere".
Crazy screaming going on throughout the entire video.

[@Berkleesaxman]

An amazing jazz trumpeter showing his agility in the upper registers. I had the rare privledge of backing him up in Modesto, Ca. He one of the most inventive and tasteful musicians alive today. Once again Dizzy found another Genius!!

[@davisc1926]

I've heard Jon play this in-person before and he makes it look so effortless! Jon is such a nice person to talk to and incredibly humble; also quite a ham.

[@stevenp.sparks2953]

I actually owned that horn after Jon sold it. Very special piece.....

[@xlfutur1]

The amazing thing about Faddis is that his low range is as strong as his high range. Not many people in the world that can do what he can do on the trumpet. A handful, if that. His high range is like a needle going through your eye. (in a good way :)

[@willieplasencia]

Worked in Gardinelli's in Manhattan when John used to come in and hit triple C's cold. We'd all get a laugh!

[@bimmerfun]

Jon in one of the greatest of all time. I had the opportunity to play with him a few times many years ago. Amazing doesn;t begin to sescribe him. This is one of my favories of his. Thanks so much for posting!

[@tonyzuko90]

Jon Faddis isn't just some squealer. He is a true jazz musician

[@Calvin1985]

"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ya?" "How tough am I? How tough am I?! Last night I played Into the Faddisphere." "Yeah? So?" "On a Bach 1C." "Uh, right this way. Sorry to keep you waiting."

[@chuyhighman6927]

🗣"Awesome High Notes on the trumpet,...Bad to The Bone !!" 💛♥💚💜💙🎺

[@3kingkool]

Faddis is just blowing free in this. Sounds like he is having so much fun just blasting through the horn's limitations.

[@donaldgallup7207]

I met Jon when he was 6 years old. I worked with his father Woody at Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord, California.

[@FanTrombone]

I was at Ygnacio High when he played here's that rainy day.....Never heard a trumpet sound like that before! Witnessed my first slow clap. :)

[@SoaringTrumpet]

I stopped playing trumpet because I heard Jon Play.

[@TailKlub]

One of the most legendary intros in jazz ❤❤❤ #faddisphere

[@3kingkool]

I played trumpet back in the day and loved to scream but this guy's control is from another planet!!!!

[@yvonnewalker1]

this guy is absolutely amazing he blows my mind

[@omgabeast]

when my band director heard this song again he was like a little kid, he started dancing and at the end of the intro he flicked off with the big high note lol god bless trumpet players

[@trpt55]

It's sad to read all the comments here - All musicians have their strengths and weaknesses, good and bad days - music shouldn't be about who is the best or who is better than who - it should be about mutual respect.

[@etcapel]

Saw him Ronnie Scott in London with Thad Jones .... he was young and mad and a great Gillespie follower

[@LilReaper1010]

i played with him at my school....this man is hilarious and an awesome trumpet player

[@gregtheodoran6642]

faddis is amazing.i myself have been playing for around 7 years.and honestly jon faddis and thys song right here is a real inspiration for me .this is how i should be playing my strad.

[@jes4k4]

One of the first trumpet player that I heard.. He inspired me to be come one.

[@RiDankulous]

It's really ethereal if you don't sit back and actively listen to it. It really sings and moves.

[@deadlights19]

Saw the gentleman once live. Blew my mind. Thanks for the post, and even more thanks to that ridiculously high horn playing.

[@SWhit62030]

Amazing, there is no other to describe the way he plays the trumpet.

[@JazzyJonas]

Wow! The B section of this tune is beautiful!

[@MacClenney]

A lead player, by definition, is the first chair in a big band who leads the band in sound, style, phrasing, etc. Jon Faddis is primarily a soloist. There is a difference.

[@dktrumpet]

Man, this is skilled trumpetplaying. What a special talent. AND a nice tone too - it must be great to master.

[@Scaltt]

Jesus, he could have his own clef at this rate!

[@right2write33]

I JUST LOVE THIS!

[@1Blueblood1]

Wow, that brings back some serious memories on tour. Do it up Devils!

[@bamagirl098]

My expression never gets old listening to this

[@SimonPhillips76]

One of the very few players, possibly the only player, whose intonation is uniformly good. I don’t detect notes that are sour or that grate which is astonishing given the register he plays in.

[@chicoassmaster4293]

Step aside for the Master. Hit it Jon !!!!!!!!!

[@TheMevis24v]

hey man. trumpetwise,,,,it's incredible.... is it human???? so nice

[@joshuastuckey5073]

Seeing him tonight in Toronto! Its gonna be unreal.

[@deanasimms]

I met Jon in 1994 in Spfld Ohio where he was on tour with some cats along with Clark Terry. He had no idea who I was at that time. I was lead trumpeter for the Ohio Players. He was a total ass hole jerk, when I told him I was a trumpet player. Played me off like a nobody, and refused to take a photo with me.Clark Terry showed me how to circular breathe at that time. Big props to Mr. Terry.

[@scrmtrumpet]

@CoreyCookEnsemble I can see how he would come across that way. I met Jon at a concert once and actually got to go to dinner with him after. He took the time to sit and talk with me about music and life for about 2 hours. He then gave me his phone number and email. We're still friends to this day. I wouldn't call him a "complete egotistical asshole", just an extremely dry sense of humor. If you know that going in and dish it right back at him he loves it and will laugh with you for hours

[@jefflofton]

One of the great lead players fo sho

[@bal42007]

WOW words can`t describe !! amazing !!

[@postatility9703]

Besides the off the chain artistry of Mr.Faddis,this tune has an incredible funky drive.Although the pianist here is not LesMcCann(who passed away yesterday 1/2/24)it has that kind of feel.

[@SoaringTrumpet]

Everybody is entitled to his own opinion, but the facts speak for Faddis when it comes to him having the most powerful chops. No other trumpeter has such full notes in the high register as he.

[@wernertrptube]

Jon Faddis is comming directly from Mars.

[@GBAL42022]

WOW !!!!! There are no WORDS !!!!!

[@MAYARITRUMPET]

Jon is exceptional ...a distinct sound and style....just unique....Schilke mouthpiece as usual... There is, from PuertoRico, Luis "Perico" Ortiz...5:06-5:10...not a screamer...but a super virtuoso trumpet player,Arrangers, Composers, Producers, Music Directors.... Thanks for this detail....

[@MHSTrumpetLine]

I got a new pair of glasses that look almost exactly like Faddis's, just in the hopes that I might be able to, in even the most infinitesimal direction, emulate Jon's playing :3 This guy is a musical hero, and I would kill for a chance to meet him.

[@hectorluissancio8660]

Gran capo jon faddis!!gran trompeta gran.gracias!!!!!!!!

[@georgewilmer5705]

I play trumpet in 7th grade

[@Januslj]

He can surely control the high tones!

[@jazzmann1984]

Try setting up the stage for the Chicago Jazz Ensemble and just to annoy you, Jon takes his trumpet and aims it right at you and screams the hightest note right in your ear! hahah hes a riot!!!

[@SoaringTrumpet]

Nobody can do what Faddis does. Period. Arturo can hit the high notes, sure...but just thin enough to squeal by. Maynard can play with those high notes (and he really is the King of high note trumpet performance )...but Jon can fully fill out high notes better than any trumpeter in existence. Respect.

[@NikoBoss32]

Wow this sound is Great Men!!!!!

[@SoaringTrumpet]

Wayne is one of the best high note guys around, no doubt, but no one compares to Jon...he's just in a league of his own screaming.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Ummmm how would you know??

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Soaring trumpet...no vids...no subsribers....you ARE the DOUCHE of trumpet players. I heard you are good at giving head....im unzipping now

[@SoaringTrumpet]

How you doing these days? Still a jerk? I have a feeling your toxic attitude comes from macho drum corps culture, am i right?

[@dey_c_me_trollin]

Trpt55 there is no good day or bad day in trumpet land. It what u make the day.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

YOU COULDN'T BE MORE FUCKIN WRONG!!!

[@jorgecallico9177]

Classic forward jaw embouchure. Usually referred to as an "Upstream" chop setting. I've finally found a way of converting to Jon's embouchure but let me tell ya. Wasn't a picnic. The Stevens-Costello Triple C Embouchure Technique actually teaches you to play Thurs way. That said? .i had to discover some crucial points left out of the book. But now I'm FINALLY getting it. It's totally BAD ASS guys. . Like I struggle with the beginning here because it requires too much damned articulation. This takes a more seasoned high note player.. Thank you Mr Faddis! PS I liked that joke you told about your spoiled ex wife. "You treat me SO BADddd"? To die for Fave parts: 2:38 (I can actually play most tge notes in this one lol) And, 3:33 Where Jon hangs an A flat/high C and proceeds to sustain KILLER notes and it all fits musically!!!

[@chicoassmaster4293]

I'm buying 0 of what you say Jorge. Except yes Roy Stevens method 100.

[@chicoassmaster4293]

Not about forward jaw alignment. That's how I know you are bullshitting Its about jaw alignment teeth alignment jaw slightly forwards if you are normal & lowers jaw juts towards the bavk (underbite) Jaw back just a touch if you have an overbite. Idea is a flat surface for the lips to vibrate over. Avoids the great perils of pivoting. I studied with Roy Stevens in the 1970's!

[@saraclark181]

i met jon today. he came to my school and i was in a small group of students and he was talking to us and played for us

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Mmmmmm Quite a hottie. College? Lmfao

[@imiany999]

he's the best screamer i know

[@MARVJAVA]

Hi, I know about that mouthpiece is closer to a Shilke 13B and the model what he is actually used is a custom model made by Scott Laskey. Greetings from Chile.

[@trumpetNzion]

A great trumpet player!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobbyricelatinjazzbigband]

I'd love to have Jon play lead trumpet for my Latin jazz big band on the first album!!!

[@WhithoutNotes]

I think he always takes a pound of LSD before screaming in his trumpet! This is absolutely sick man! And his control! I can't hear any mistakes! Just listen the part at 1:30 ...perfect

[@3321MDZ]

Love the tea kettle comment...that is frickin funny

[@nickdrozdoff]

What's with the pictures of Byron Stripling?? It shows up at 56 sec and again at 3:23 and again at 5:59. That is DEFINITELY Stripling and not Faddis. Did Stripling have something to do with this project? Just curious. Absolutely LOVE Faddis' playing, though!

[@shoeprich2012]

That was so awesome!!! Haha Dakin, lettuce and tomato

[@deanasimms]

I play a 1and 1/2 c Bach mouthpiece which is a deep cup. I have a worked my my way up on those double high c's and g's too. No cheating on my part. the deeper the cup, the fatter the tone.

[@chicoassmaster4293]

100 percent bullshit bro !

[@SuperRAINONE]

I hear some Bill Chase influence coming out here. Jon is Bad ASS!

[@Cosmok93]

BEAST.

[@robertsolo6057]

somebody please help what is that top note he holds from 1:02 to 1:18 is that a double C? the C above "high" C?

[@MrCaptzap]

Schilke Heavyweight. His trumpet is a Schilke S42L, as well.

[@tbodowd]

Agree with the deep cup. I play a Bach 3C and like the rich full high Gs and As. It just means more work but the rewards are there!

[@peterknechtli]

Thanks, John-Andrew!

[@steven061897]

May I ask why Byron Stripling was in the video? Lol

[@snoto]

GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!

[@3kingkool]

@efravi25 Arturo Sandoval is a master himself. It is difficult to compare directly because the recording invironment itself contributes to some extent to what we hear. But I think Arturo could hold his own with Faddis, Ferguson or anyone else.

[@MichaelHehir1996]

i would love to hear him play Maynard Ferguson which is an amazing tune

[@KleberebelK18]

Says the legend he was there when they blew the Jericho's wall down.

[@Mgoodson]

He got in a fight with his sister when they were little and his teeth broke in the front and now that there is no resistance and a steady air flow he can play really high

[@Calvin1985]

0:12 is what March Madness would've sounded like if it had continued with no fans.

[@bobbyricelatinjazzbigband]

oops.. in this band: Bobby Rice Latin Jazz Big Band .... See: "Camilo's Way" on KZbin

[@Calvin1985]

Chuck Norris’s end of day pedal tones.

[@ByCiceroAudoPoetryandMusic]

Muito bom!!!!

[@elelsey]

Yes. It is a "super" C or the C above high C.

[@JVT250]

Incredible, especially the part of 2:35 +

[@SuperRAINONE]

Apparently you never heard of Bill Chase. He did shit I've never heard anybody do! Saw him in 1974 at The Travis Street Electric Co. in Dallas,Texas.One Bad Ass Mo Fo. Long Live Jon Faddis,Lin Biviano,Lin Nicholson,Jay Salenburger,Stan Mark,The Great Maynard,You and all Stratosphere players!

[@oliver13942]

le superman de la trompette le cauchemard des trompettistes!!! comme dirait clooney quoi de plus? merci du partage

[@SoaringTrumpet]

The great Greg Gisbert makes an appearance. 0:50.

[@MrBosnian78]

He is a lead player. He's just playing by himself now.

[@charliebest1992]

I think I jizzed a little at the beginning.. wait no.. the middle.. no.. all the way through this piece O_o

[@trane1959]

hey, the musical circus came to town.

[@alelpric]

@MrBosnian78 did u get hacked or something? this is amazing

[@llamadrama09]

Hey se le espera con impaciencia en el ajazzgo de santiago de cali

[@trumpetman]

Lol, there is clearly a picture of Byron Stripling up there that was covered up...

[@TheRenster500]

my dog woke up and started crying because he was so high and I didn't realize it was on loud.

[@MartaBtrp]

Cool!

[@etcapel]

this is what I feel like saying about my sore back!!!

[@MrBosnian78]

yeah i forgot to delete that one.

[@BiscuitsJoe]

what sort of mouthpiece does he use?

[@deanasimms]

Maybe he has humbled with time and more gracious now. At that time he looked at the corn on my lip and laughed with sarcasm. You can't judge a book by the cover. Check out my video on here. Barack Obama Anthem Song by Dean Simms. I wrote and played all the music in my studio.

[@MrBosnian78]

There sure is my friend

[@TheMrWoodLin]

@SoaringTrumpet What about El Gato?

[@BachClarinet]

The green box... not Jon Faddis.

[@Charmander6942]

@MrBosnian78 this "shit" is just about as genius as it gets
