[@h0lly_blue]

is this the "three notes at the same time" dude

[@GeorgeCollier]

if you can think of it he can do it

[@h0lly_blue]

@@GeorgeCollier the absolute mad lad can fix our global economic housing crisis just by going *doot*

[@icypeanutpolo]

And he won’t…too busy playing fat solos

[@LowReedExpert1]

Y'all should check out his bag band album where he was the big band. The whole big band.

[@langleybryant8641]

Yes. He also did an album where he played every instrument in a 17 piece big band except for the drum set lol

[@imitch5]

Legend. This man violated multiple health codes that solo was so filthy

[@RedHair651]

lmao

[@eekwhodat7122]

Filthier than a fresh rump rocket on a hot sidewalk!

[@areadenial2343]

Nurgle approves.

[@lonniedeckermusic]

Literally LOL for that comment! Perfect!

[@colebrock7036]

It was so filthy it reminds me of my time cooking for Burger King

[@eggthursday]

i have a theory that you can judge the quality of a trumpet solo by how much the guy looks like a frog at the end, 10/10

[@neilbryson]

This checks out. Proven method

[@Seen420]

[@loulousaucier5585]

Oh then I'm a good trumpet player

[@bred8847]

And red

[@richardlloyd2589]

The more legs a song has, the more frog there is left at the end.

[@Johnnycdrums]

Guy hit that high C so clean and loud, hell of a starting point.

[@intelati49]

*starts video* *face immediately melts off*

[@vismut.2691]

I thought he would blew up

[@LemonMeerkat230]

500th like

[@benjaminwhitacre2122]

thats an e above c(c is the second note). makes it more impressive

[@veil6218]

That’s high E which makes it even more impressive

[@FanOfMostEverything]

That conductor is having the best time of his life and it's clear why.

[@NetSraC1306]

dude turned around at the end, saying "daamn"

[@benst6246]

James Morrison’s face while playing the trumpet is an excellent means for inventing new colors.

The greatest thing is that they are obviously all having great fun playing. Makes it so much more authentic and fun to listen to too.

[@leonelimalevu2199]

You gotta love something to TRULY give your all towards it. And judging by this man's obscenely pink face, I bet he loves his job.

[@Guppusmaximus]

As well as the fact that it wasn't devoid of the human element / touch. Meaning that his performance was masterful but it wasn't perfect (which it shouldn't be).

[@adrianng0803]

I don’t know what’s better. These insane high notes or Johnny Depp conducting this whole thing

absolutely raw

[@jamessimon4206]

To anyone who does not know how to play trumpet you do not understand how insanely impressive this is. Wow

[@nickorange4881]

I sort of learned an instrument, not a trumpet but i find it real impressive

[@citrusblast4372]

i would have passed out from over exertion

[@jasonstarr6419]

played trumpet through middle school, high school, college, and for years afterward.. would love to have had the chops and licks to play like this.

[@iageek]

I never played trumpet, but I can say there are very few times I have heard it sound good. This is one of them

[@jatavioushoskins6457]

Ik how to play its hella hard to learn that

[@justsomeguy4553]

Filthy is not enough to describe how this trumpet solo absolutely punch.

[@abeherbert6603]

No longer surprised to see James Morrison in half of these, the guy is unstoppable.

[@mrwyatt6006]

I can only dream of playing trumpet as good as James Morrison.

[@jojnokirk8035]

and trombone, euph, tuba, sax, upright bass, guitar, etc etc

[@rosseadie6894]

& then I woke up to G above high C

[@navcenter77]

I got to play in a backing band for James about 20ish years ago, As a brass player (trumpet, Trombone, Tuba variants) the pleasure watching him go thru his warmup routine, prior to a performance, If you thought that run was fast, you aint seen nothing, and it was always so clean you could make out every note. George you did a fabulous job doing the notation, but to sit back and close your eyes while you listen is just magic

[@colefujinaga]

Is no one going to talk about that insanely smooth trumpet flip at the end

[@Half_LifeKitty]

He threw it over his shoulder like a Continental soldier 😂

[@charlottegodbolt5138]

I think it does it a lot. Almost the end to every solo / piece

[@bigm383]

He is one of the greatest trumpeters in the world, yet still humble enough to play in small venues like the place down the road from us.

[@headbusta202]

Its a requirement to have 2 chins to play badass trumpet solos.

[@_mysterie_]

My trumpet teacher would probably say that having a face that red isn't healthy but goddamn. what a solo anything for music

[@lazichicken1236]

I think it's more that someone messed up the color balance in editing really badly you can see the drum set and conductor's face turn red as well

[@_mysterie_]

@@lazichicken1236 yeah probably, but he still looks like he's about to explode lol

[@gon9684]

@@lazichicken1236 Yeah, either that or there some lights pointed at the front... God damn, how hot must it be that even the drum set turned red ahahah

[@Strongify03017]

I think it's a filter ... the person in the background was red too

[@chipmonkey7266]

Also like, respectfully, this guy probably knows a little bit more than your teacher

[@Daniel-xi3ge]

I can tell that he is playing even louder than what we consider “screamers”

[@exavier5342]

Bruh that lick in the end

[@yellowcarpet265]

Ive met James, he told me a story about when he played with a punk band, they covered the end of the trumpet with duck tape to put a microphone on it. i recall that his nose and ears were bleeding, everyone thought it was hardcore. he is so talented that he can fit in with a punk band while his ears are bleeding. its safe to say that he never played with a punk band again.

[@jameswhatsit]

I came to the comments to mention that anecdote. I really hope footage exists of it somewhere

[@juliansimmonds9115]

I used to live near him lol.

[@melb3650]

James Morrison, absolute legend…. I had the honour of playing with this guy many many years ago. Not only is he an astoundingly good musician, he’s a great guy, fantastic sense of humour and doesn’t mind a good practical joke…

[@unknownroyalty895]

Morrison once played the trumpet to an old hymn of Spain during a football game, and people supported him. Awesome.

[@vincentpotrafky5101]

the conductor was perplexed by those notes, truly amazing playing

[@kell_0741]

Basin street blues is an amazing piece. I played the trombone part in ny quintet. Hard song but once you learn it the payoff is insane

[@briannac3909]

Met him at a masterclass, absolutely insane. It was incredible.

[@thycockhard]

the fact that these keep coming up on recommended and i just keep watching bc they are so good

[@velocirapture89]

I saw this mate live 20 years ago. He played the piano and the trumpet at the same time. Crikey!

The lick at the end though!!!! It fit so good!!

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

As a (former) trumpet player I can tell you it is VERY hard to hit those LOW notes when you are coming off those very high notes. Getting your embouchure to relax fast enough to get down into the lower register is hard to do.

James Morrison is one of the baddest jazz musicians on the planet. But here's the thing - he's a virtuoso on several different instruments, not just trumpet...

I wouldn't even call trumpet his primary instrument, honestly - for me that'd have to be trombone. And that's not in any way diminishing his ridiculous skill on trumpet.
