This is what mosquito’s sound like in New Orleans

[@rechmbrs]

[@jannikmuller1136]

His tone is approximately five times superior to mine.

[@derfboz]

His tone is superior to mine when he's playing the mouthpiece and I'm on trombone! :(

[@camhenderson5233]

Today I learned a mouthpiece is a transposing instrument

[@thebayjay]

I guess the soprano trombone is, but the more I look at it the more I think it’s just being transposed like a trumpet haha!

[@herculesmwp7983]

I’d love a transposition of that walking bass, love it

[@newyorknight]

Sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher is having one fantastic day🥸

[@rickyanthony]

Needs vs wants. Powerful thing.

[@ryan_1314]

Wow I didn't know elmo was a jazz vocalist!

[@RAUCH_Davka]

Wycliffe Gordon is a legend ❤

[@diegobarahona3803]

1:12 Did he just play salt peanuts 😂

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

Yeah, I think he did!

[@diegobarahona3803]

@@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptionsfascinating!

[@da11king]

The one and only W. Gordon! The man with the chops of steel! Incredible! 🫶🏾🎼🎶✨️🎹🎺___[slide]

[@IsaacNoelPenate]

What the band director expects you to do when you forget your instrument at home

[@nelsonmundial72]

Wow 😯

[@YooLookMarvelous]

I wonder is miniature bone a custom? I have tried riffing on mouthpiece and wax paper comb, but he far surpassed anything I've done.

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

It's a Soprano Trombone, sometimes referred to as a Slide Trumpet. Quite a niche instrument in the classical world!

[@JefferyMillerMusic]

The man!

[@burntsea8889]

bro sounds like donald duck tryna to sing

[@xxjustapandasfxx4244]

You see something new everyday I guess

[@MyArmHurtsBad]

i do think, just maybe he needs that instrument just a little longer!

[@tabbywarrior]

Cats fighting :)

[@rescue270]

Properly that is a slide trumpet.

[@felipemaia3652]

Hahahaha surreal 😅

[@geralddensonjr.8678]

Is this in the sunny side of the street?

[@hectorwebster-bligh5283]

Yessir

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

Correct!

[@Mariagabriele06]

I liked the mosquito in my ears

[@animeprincess98]

Why is transcription in a different key?

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

Bb Treble Clef, not Concert. I put it in this clef because the Soprano Trombone is basically a slide Trumpet.

[@otmq]

@@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions Yep. A Standard Trombone is also a Bb Bass-Slide Trumpet. ;) 😅

[@3MUnique]

That’s a trumpet with a slide.

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

A Soprano Trombone, also referred to as a Slide Trumpet!

[@3MUnique]

@@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions I was just kidding about a “slide trumpet” but the timbre is the same. I never knew there was such an instrument referred 2 as that….

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

Not the best I've ever him play (with or without the 'bone)

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

I'd probably agree, but it's still worth sharing.
