Stunning! Absolutely Stunning. Been here before, but would have loved to be sitting in the room for this.

[@DihelsonMendonca]

This Al McLean is simply fantastic. He reminds me Coltrane so much. And this is good. 🙏🙏☝️❤️❤️❤️

[@chickberth]

This is insanely good. Came for the microphone, stayed for the playing.

[@jeremydavalosmusic]

What a sound from Lex!

[@RogerNordling]

Al, what a fantastic tenor sound you got! Very expressive, very much in the Coltrane vein.

[@BebopHardRock]

I hear quite a bit of Bergonzi in his playing.... but I may be wrong.

[@aleksandarstojceski3139]

His tone is really Coltranish.

[@jamesadams80]

Love that small bore trumpet sound!

[@gerard8174]

Wow, I didn't know Lex French but I'm going to check him out more for sure. I really enjoyed this, lovely done. Thank you.

[@dizzyfritz596]

Nice. Interesting bit about the vintage small bore trumpet, too--the original builder probably never imagined it would playing this well after more than a century. Great stuff.

[@ar73wilson]

WOW There's something about that combination. Miles is Smiling

[@msudlp]

Thank You

[@romansax355]

Coltrane sound, love it ❤️

Lex French from nz ex roger fox big band trumpet player.

[@cwslai]

Great music. Is there a reason to put two extra microphones into the soundboard of the piano?

[@wideangleman]

The mics laid in the frame of the piano belong to the club, for the PA. They're not used in the recording.

[@filipdinevmusic]

04:50 bass.

[@BobDoherty]

What’s a presentation trumpet? Says that in the description.

[@dachanist]

It means a good one (as in this trumpet is presentation grade). The make and model aren't specified but basically its a quality made and maintained 100 year old trumpet that is worth more in restoration costs than the 2-300 bucks or so that pre ww2 trumpets go for on ebay because it has been properly restored. Realistically though you could get 80-90% of the same performance out of a good vintage ebay horn so long as the compression was halfway decent and the valves didn't stick horribly. Those old horns have a range from heavy and dull sound to narrow and bright and are pretty finnicky. The music comes from working around those quirks, that's why people like the good condition rare vintage horns. They aren't better than modern ones and are in many ways harder to play, but those limitations breed creativity... or frustration. You won't see many classical musicians digging deep into the vintage horn scene but jazz musicians do while searching for a new sound... then again classical trumpeters can go all the way back to the valveless natural trumpet from the baroque era and no jazz trumpeter I've ever seen has gone that far down the vintage hole while looking for new ways to play old songs, or old ways to play old songs... you know what I mean.

[@joedown962]

Randy, what horn does Lex play on? Thanks!

[@pneptune5851]

Clifford and Jonny back together 😂

[@pierre-andreglauser9454]

Ouaip, ça c'est du son et c'est des musiciens qui le font... pas des DJ's

[@frankcameraska]

Very nice ! What's the trumpet model ? Very good players congratulations

[@paolomannelli]

The problem is not the trumpet model, but how you speak in !!!

[@casualintrovert207]

I love how the pianist embraces the wrong notes. Even when he messes up you can tell he just goes with it as if it was intentional.

[@bxsoup]

The piano ain't got no wrong notes !

[@Toucanyou]

too embellished for a song about heartbreak and loneliness.
