Guess The Trumpet Player

It’s time for the twenty-fifth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” I know what you are thinking: “Darn it, Outside Pants, it’s been a month now since we’ve had a listening contest – what gives?!?!” Ok, well maybe you aren’t thinking that. Maybe you didn’t even notice the absence. Well, either way this is a pretty sweet track off of a pretty sweet album!

Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers,

It’s time for the twenty-fourth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” I know what you are thinking: “Darn it, Outside Pants, it’s been a month now since we’ve had a listening contest – what gives?!?!” Ok, well maybe you aren’t thinking that. Maybe you didn’t even notice the absence. But its summertime and I’ve been a little lax. Ok fine; I’m going to make up for it with today’s track. It’s smokin’ hot and, if you are human, should make you smile and maybe even want to dance. The trumpet playing is burning but don’t miss out on the alto solo that follows because it might be even hotter. Awesome track from a really great album!

Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers, it’s time for the twenty-second installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” And guess what? It’s “Deranged Beatles Cover Thursday!” Today’s track is maybe the weirdest (and IMO, one of the coolest) covers of a Beatles song I’ve ever heard. And it was recorded live in concert! This whole track is fun but if you find the solo trumpet intro bit annoying (and yes, that is a solo trumpet) just skip ahead to the 3:09 mark when the tune kicks in. However, if you want the full experience play from start to finish at a high volume. It’s worth it. I wonder if Paul ever heard this version??

Hello Readers, it’s time for the twentieth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” Something new this week. It’s been hot outside lately and today’s track seems to fit all of this sunshine. Hope you dig it. Wish I had some chops like this!

Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers, it’s time for the nineteenth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” While not as difficult as last week’s, this week’s episode is a little tricky too. You only get one short blues chorus to work with. But think about the era of the track and think about the nature of this trumpet solo and that should give you a hint. There are also a few things in the language the player uses that should tip you off. Hope you dig it.

Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers, it’s time for the seventeenth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” And guess what? It’s Old School Thursday so I’ve got a golden oldie for you. The tune comes off of a live recording. Originally I was going to pick a “pop” tune off of this record, maybe because the nature of the tune would perhaps give you a hint as to the identity of the trumpet player. The pop tune is a little cheesy but it really shows off this trumpet player’s HUGE sound. But instead I’m going with this blues tune because the playing is just awesome – some great blues playing which you might not normally associate with this trumpet player. The growling might throw you off. I don’t think of this player as a growler, but there are a few little tricky turns in some of these lines that might tip you off. If that doesn’t, just listen to the cadenza toward the end. If that doesn’t help, then just know that this trumpet player was one of the most influential trumpet players ever (more on that on Monday’s post). Know who it is?

Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers, it’s time for the sixteenth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” Here’s a hint about this week’s featured player. He doesn’t have a household name (unless you live in a house of trumpet players), but anyone who grew up in the US in the 70’s and 80’s has heard his voice. Remember “Conjunction Junction?” That’s your hint. If you don’t recognize the playing, a quick Google search should turn up the correct answer. But listen to the tune anyway. It’s a short but tasty little trumpet solo.

Guess The Trumpet Player

Hello Readers, it’s time for the fifteenth installment of “Guess The Trumpet Player.” Something fun this week. The album that this tune is taken from is the first album I ever purchased by this artist. I was in high school and just starting to check out jazz and jazz trumpet players.
