Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers, it’s time for the eleventh installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” Here is a great track for you from a great record from one of the great trumpet players. This player is one of my all-time favorites. There’s so much to choose from with this guy but I just picked something that always puts me in a good mood when I hear it. Hope you enjoy.

Click the link (it’s safe), click play, listen, guess the trumpet player. The first person to leave the correct name of this trumpet player in the comments section of this post wins a CD – your choice of Outside Pants Vol. 1 – Old School Players or Outside Pants Vol. 2 – Ron Miles Mix or Outside Pants Vol. 3 – Brownie Mix or Outside Pants Vol.4 – Dave Douglas Mix. The contest ends with Monday’s post.

  4. They did play Lush Life! It's a great arrangement. Basically (going off a memory of one listen) he broke it into sections, connected non-linearly, and looped each section with a different member of the ensemble soloing based on snips of melodic material from that section.

    At least that's what I think was going on ... can't wait to hear it on record some day!

  5. Sweet, Dave - cool to hear that they played Lush Life. Sounds like the arrangement was pretty unique too. I hope he does record it.

    Your prize is coming soon, dude! Thanks again for playing!
