Arturo Sandoval 'Here's That Rainy Day' | Live Studio Session

This is far from the case.

[@definitelydoctorproctor]

definitely the best rendition of this song

[@williamnemecek6608]

Could listen to this nonstop!Outstanding!

[@gregburris9972]

a great example of how the trumpet can be used for subtle musical expression and not just pyrotechnics. Arturo can play ANYTHING, but this is a great example of pure musicianship. Wonderful.

[@knkx]

Thanks for watching Greg!

[@TheFrenangel]

Greg Burris I remembered many years ago he said The trumpet can make sleep a baby like it can wake up a battalion

[@da11king]

Great ! But I dont think he is used to playing this soooooooft .notes are all not perfect. But loved it regardless

[@pauldance7387]

Concur, Greg.

[@brucekendall52]

@@da11king I would say those notes are meant to sound just like that,not perfect which made it perfect.

Not many things are better than a jazz ballad with a horn....kick back, close yer eyes and dream of days gone by......

ABSOLUTELY DEVINE,SIMPLY THE BEST ALWAYS , THK U ARTURO!!!

The trumpet is such a wonderful instrument. It makes you nostalgic, and provocative. It speaks to the heart. This is a beautiful piece.

This is how a trumpet should be played. Smooooooth.........

[@JGlassy]

Incredible session all around! Arturo’s expression here is just palpable.

[@michaelackerman3823]

There needs to be a love thumbs up, Arturo, this is some of the most gorgeous playing I have ever heard. Anyone who hits the thumbs down feature knows nothing about music, because this is one of the most elegant, gorgeous musicians sound on the trumpet I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

[@jazzmystic23]

How can someone get that much soul and pure emotion from just a twisted piece of brass? Amazing!

[@nickyfarrell3024]

He made that trumpet sound like a flugelhorn! The greatness of Mr Sandoval.

[@stephenpopovichl122]

The best trumpet jazz version performance of this beautiful song. Arturo plays masterfully in every aspect. Pure musical performance by him-not a better jazz trumpet performance of this classic no one played this better.

[@carlosmagallanes9001]

Good god! That tone is like aural butter. I thought he was on flugelhorn, this man truly is an inspiration. Never mind the ripping high notes and amazing clean runs. His mastery of tone is unlike anything I’ve ever heard.

[@bd1845]

I agree 100% on this. As he demonstrates many times changing your instrument and mouthpiece will only change your tone very marginally as your core sound will always be that. He says he plays what he hears in his head and very few trumpeters have the ability to do that. Have a listen to the live version of Zane on KZbin and shut your eyes you would think he was playing flugelhorn too.

[@santydcuba327]

He's a living legend of the trumpet!!!! Amazing performance!!!!

[@ryandillahay8508]

The synthesizer seemed like an odd choice at first, but the cat really makes use of the expression/modulation to give it an emotive quality. I appreciate it more and more each listen.

[@meshyyyy]

i was just about to comment the same thing.

[@Dee-dt8qw]

Yo... same... every time I listen to it, it grows on me ever since the song came out on KZbin 4 yrs ago

[@no1r]

Best jazz synth solo i've ever heard!!! Dude has dynamics and wonderful ideas.

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

That was going to be my comment as well. For this acoustical piece, the synthesizer was way out of place.

[@backdoorbrag]

The synthesizer guy is god damned brilliant. Also, Arturo is the GOAT.

[@danielllamas1715]

dave siegel

[@scottbaiar1943]

That just may be the best version of Here's That Rainy Day I've ever heard! To be able to play a ballad like that...! His sound... ugh!! Not to mention the ability to hold back like that. His lines were gorgeous. I'm a sax player and I think I may have to transcribe that whole thing (ear, not notation). Hopefully I can do it even a remote amount of justice. Wow... That was entire master class right there.

[@VentiMocha1Rasp]

I agree 1,000%! Definitely the best version ever. So much feeling, phrasing, breathing, and his sound is so velvety, it's pushing flugelhorn-ish. And yes - the holding back - that's some real expert timing there.

Especially now with the very sad passing of Roy Hargrove.

[@KosherConsole]

I've been honored to play a number of Sandoval pieces growing up, including one with him as a clinician. He just embodies jazz- he can go from playing incredible notes at virtuosic speeds and ranges in stuff like Night in Tunisia and then play this and just bring everyone back down to earth with his lovely understanding of ballads. Truly a one of a kind talent.

[@themightyquinn94]

[@steveferraro1107]

Wow! So, thaaaat's how you play a trumpet. Arturo once mentioned liking that airy Til Bronner type sound. Here's that day. Here's that sound. Here's my new favorite version of Here's That Rainy Day.

[@mhstpt]

Great musicianship is not always about how much power you can summon, how many notes you can throw into a phrase, or how high those notes might be. Sometimes, great music happens with the lights turned way down low, a feathery-light touch lovingly caressing the nuanced flavor of an incredibly romantic offering from the Great American Songbook, like this one composed by the great Jimmy Van Heusen with equally haunting lyrics from the pen of the incomparable Johnny Burke. There is no question why it was Johnny Carson's favorite song, or a fixture on the Stan Kenton Orchestra book, or why a gigantic talent like Arturo Sandoval would seek to sink his prodigious chops into this truly evocative ballad.

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

It's a Portland winter and this helps the mood.

[@blainekelley816]

I never heard anything better! So stunningly beautiful. Bravo, Arturo. You are such a virtuoso!

[@claudelatham3864]

As many times as I've listened to Arturo in concerts and online, I can never get over the sound of his playing. Like many of the great players there is one thing we can all appreciate; his adaptability. When I was first introduced to Arturo Sandoval, I was researching him and Dizzy Gillespie playing Night in Tunisia and exactly how Dizzy made it. In his career, Arturo played it many times, each showing off his power, range, and technical prowess. But the smoother jazz pieces are where he really shines because a lot of people ridicule him for only being a "higher, faster, louder" player which I personally don't agree with. Every note he plays can send you into a mirage of a rainy day, and very few even in the jazz world can really do that. I absolutely love what he does, and he is a role model to younger trumpet players who are discovering who they want to sound like, or how they want to sound like. Please Mr. Sandoval, keep playing and continue to pull us into beautiful music and inspire us to make ourselves move forward in our own musical prowess!

My dream in life is to get a clinic with Arturo. Maybe even a concert with a small jazz group. Some time just us to play and work on stuff. He is an engaging and amazing musician. He's my inspiration to play the trumpet.

[@blainekelley816]

he was at the UD Trumpet Day in Dayton, OH a few years ago. Asked attendees to come up and play something. He worked with each brave soul, listening, encouraging, coaching. Then took time with his friend Dr Ed Calle to explain what they were thinking and doing in specific jazz structures ... all while demonstrating it with the UD jazz band. It was awesome.
