    Hey, great playing and notes on the piece! Specific question on that cornet, in case you see this...... I've got the same model from B&S, purchased used (B&S reintroduced it as an "X-Line" cornet, with two bells) and find that intonation is pretty... interesting... with open partials quite sharp and most valved partials in-tune or flat. This is with both the cornet and trumpet mouthpiece adapters, and both bells, though slightly different on each. Other than the Warburton in your description, what mouthpieces have you found that work well on that horn, or do you have any other insights to offer about that specific cornet?

    • @trumpetbrain7302
      @trumpetbrain7302 Рік тому

      Thank you. This was actually a big basement room I used to practice in from time to time. Re; the player on the recording. The original recording this feature in the film was based on had Harry James as the soloist. However, for the film, the solo was recorded by British trumpet player Mike Lovatt. Be mindful that if you listen to a UA-cam video claiming to be from the track from the film, the uploader may have simply used the OG Harry James recording, but specifically in the final scene of the film itself, that is 100% Mike Lovatt. The provenance for this is as follows: 1) Mike is credited as the 'trumpet soloist; big band' in the film credits and on IMDB 2) Mike has spoken publicly, and to me personally, about recording this solo. 3) It was a well-known fact amongst London session musicians at the time as the film was a major blockbuster. 4) Nowhere in any of the credits have Marvel made any acknowledgement of Harry James; if a pre-existing recording has been used, it is always acknowledged in the credits. 5) In the process of preparing this recording, I listened to the Harry James recording and the recording in the film extensively; both are excellent but there are clear (subtle) differences if you know what you are listening to. Thanks Alex

      @@trumpetbrain7302 I've found the solution to the question of where Mike Lovatt fits into the film. Watching the Blu-ray the credits specify the Harry James orchestra with the performance of "It's Been A Long, Long Time" - Sony Music Licensing, Columbia Records yada yada, reinforced by the Shazam app's ID of that recording. However the credits do show Mike Lovatt's name as "Big Band Solo Trumpet". The last piece of music in the film as the credits are rolling is a 40s-style chart "Make Way For Tomorrow Today" music and lyrics by Richard Sherman featuring a trumpet soloist - it's obviously a modern recording and it sounds like Mike's playing. Harry's sound on "It's Been A Long, Long Time" is unmistakable and it was clearly recorded using older technology even if it's been massaged for the film. I haven't watched the whole film yet, it's possible Mike's playing appears elsewhere in the film as well. No question that last scene with Steve and Peggy dancing is accompanied by the Harry James recording. You can find the recording I'm talking about by searching Richard Sherman - Make Way For Tomorrow Today (Avengers: Endgame Variant).

      @@trumpetbrain7302 My comments are based specifically on the one particular final scene and the licensing credits on the movie which the film industry takes very seriously - they have to, there are legal/copyright issues involved and they pay money to use the recordings. The Shazam technology wouldn't mistake one recording for another. As I say I haven't watched the whole movie yet - it's possible that there's another version of the chart elsewhere in the movie - I'll report back what I find. Did you listen to that other song - does that not sound like Mike Lovatt to you? There could also be other explanations - maybe Mike's group made a recording but he didn't realize it never got used in the film. Thanks for the article it's interesting.

    When I look up this scene on UA-cam it's the Harry James recording that's playing with Kitty Kallen's vocal - who told you it was Mike Lovatt? Anyway, your version is clean but stiff as a board. Listen to Harry's version over and over and loosen up - sing it out like Harry does. Your fingers need to be snappier too.

    • @trumpetbrain7302
      @trumpetbrain7302 Рік тому

      Hi, Well, just to set the record straight (and you should check your facts a bit before commenting) there are numerous sources that confirm Mike Lovatt recorded this solo for the film. 1) Mike himself told me. 2) Mike is credited as the trumpet soloist in the film credits 3) Mike is credited as the trumpet soloist on the cast and crew lists on imdb 4) It was a widely known fact across the London music scene at the time. Anyhow, thanks for the feedback; you somewhat undermined your credibility to start with so I'm not losing any sleep over it. All I can say is, if you prefer listening to Harry James, just go ahead and listen to him instead; he's great!

      @@trumpetbrain7302 Maybe there's an alternate soundtrack for the UK/Europe because of some licensing issue but the versions I find of the Steve and Peggy dance scene feature the Harry James recording - no question whatsoever. One of the UA-cam versions I find has Kitty Kallen credited in the licensing information which is auto-generated by DRM software. Besides that the arrangement and character of the recording (it's mono audio) Harry's sound and Kitty Kallen's voice, both recorded with a ribbon mic of the era are very distinctive here's an audible clue - as they're dancing just as Chris Evans is fully facing the camera during the last trumpet phrase just before she sings Harry plays what I work out to be an F that's a little brittle or chipped, which if you look for any other example of the 1945 James recording - ( **not** the later recording from "Harry James In Hi-Fi") you'll hear the same thing - it's the same recording.
