I cry listening to this song because it means so much to me. This song is the reason I picked up a trumpet in 6th grade. This song was in my head when I was lying on the ground in Iraq facing death. This song saved me in a sense, that's why I'm still here. SRA MICHAEL FLETCHER. USAF
mikedaflexta Thank you for your service. You veterans need to be recognized more for putting your lives on the line for people you don’t even know exist.
Nate Gillette You wouldnt be one of those here in South Florida people call "los esclavos felices" ( "happy slaves" in English) of all races, at the services of their communist masters from La Habana, Cuba trying to tarnish, with lies ( by saying that you had a teacher ...who said...) the image of a good family man with great talent, like Arturo Sandoval , just because he told the whole workd the real truth about the cruel, corrupt and murderous socialist dictator Fidel Castro , in the movie about his life as portrayed by Andy Garcia , would you Nate...? . By the way, is it Nate as is Natalie or Nativity? I pretty much know already....
saw him live in Miami at his club with my father years ago. I am always surprised at how much Jazz knowledge my father has. No one still really knows about his club in Miami.
I just love how Sandoval used the same intro for his solo from 20 years ago. If you watch a video of him playing with Dizzy, he uses the same intro for that solo
AmericanPatriot76 It's a triple G, so lower than a triple C, but above a double. However, the real kicker is that he often plays this as the finisher for a 90 minute concert. Also, to play it in tune and have it even be recognized is astounding
I'm a trumpet player and I'm in tenth grade and my music teacher gave us this song to play in jazz band and I love it so much and he showed us this and I had to watch it again... Such a great inspiration, wish I could learn how to solo lol
Arturo, I'm ashamed to admit that I have been a fan of trumpet for more than 30 years, but did not even know you existed until this past year! I have been watching several videos of you on youtube, and am truly amazed! My father played trumpet (he died while playing a gig, so it was a good way to go for him) and I am now learning at the age of 62. I played saxophone decades ago and conclude that trumpet HAS to be the most difficult instrument to learn! Thank you for being a great inspiration to many!
as a student trumpet player. (;( ) I think brass is decently hard sense all it is is a metal hole, but then trumpet gets this tiny hole they have to shoot a fast small stream of air down. so personally it feels pretty hard
My high school Jazz band had thr privilege to meet sit with him and perform a couple of songs for him to give us feedback, went thr bell rang in thr school he just picked up his trumpet and pkayed thr exact note immediately and did a little run to the next octive, and when we were playing our song he started pkaying alinf note for note, he's an amazing takent and person
This Man is an inspiration to me as an immigrant from Mexico. We Latinos are the backbone and the living heart beat of this country. Viva la Raza and God bless the United States
I thank God for allowing me to live in a time when I could hear and meet Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval, Phil Smith, Tim Clarke, Jim Bohm, John Maguda, Mark Filesinger, Hansel Hererra DeChapelles, and some other of the worlds greatest trumpeter's.
His solos are just so amazing. They aren't based around just stuff in the upper register which he could do. It's just shows why scales are just as important as range
Words are hard to explain how phenomenal Arturo plays the great trumpet. So many beautiful notes in that expressive Arturo way of making all his fans happy and fortunate to have him playing so great all the time. you know guys like Doc Severson Clark Terry Miles Wynton Charlie Shavers Chet Baker all the legends salute Arturo for his beautiful heavenly tone. We love him dearly and to hear him play trumpet is like God sending down angels so if you ever want to get closer to heaven listen to the God Given Talent of Arturo. thank you and god bless you Arturo BOOM
That is just mental ! At the end, where he goes from the lowest note possible, up to something octaves above what us lesser mortals could dream of ..... unbelievable !
As a jazz musician the last time I was in my favorite local venue the band performing was the Kaiko Matsui band at the end of the night the gracious owner sat in for couple of songs & had every right to blow the roof off Arturo!
Got to cut an album with Arturo this past week. The power behind his sound is absolutely ridiculous. Talk about instantaneous dynamic change, and a mastery of both technical insanity and gorgeous tone. Great guy to boot, super fun to work with. High standards, yes, but really laid back and relaxed too.
The Great cuban Arturo Sandoval.in this performance he was 62 years old.amazing that he can still have that technique.sound,control and power for high notes.one of the all time great!
Arturo Sandoval My respects to you, for all your performance which represent the Latin Jazz music from our Cuban roots, to our world. Thanks for being with us, God Bless you Always Arturo.
@The United States Air Force Band :O. You guys are like, good! Like, REALLY FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!!!😁 I play drums, and I love jazz and it would be a dream come true to see this group perform!
That was beautiful. Air force bands do not disappoint. When I was young, the bands from McCord would come to our grade school. They were incredible. This brought back some great memories. Thanks
When he hit that extremely high 'A'. That made me cry. The countless hours of hard work Mr Sandoval has put in. The emotion and energy hit me right in the heart. You have shown me the power of music. Thank you @ArturoSandovalTrumpet

I played trumpet coronet tuba and a french horn. And dam I sounded like shit compared to Arturo. Thank you to Arturo and the USAF simply outstanding. DAM he is the master
I feel overwhelm by all the beautiful comments.
It's an inspiration to me to continue practicing and trying harder.
God bless you all!!!
THE BEST. ARTURO EL MEJOR DEL MUNDO NUESTRO ARTEMISENO CUBANO
I will become you one day or at least try
A class act and humble man. One of the best ever.
De verdad maestro lo admiro y lo respeto para toda mi vida ,dios me lo bendiga siempre y me le de mucha salud
Arturo sandoval, genio. venga para argentina Que muchas personas lo esperan aca.
Band: What's your range
Aurturo: Yes
Yes
this is so funny
TheMonk yup
G above double C. Absolutely ridiculous
Facts !
Man casually blasts through six octaves on a trumpet while backed by the air force.
Crazy right?!
It was 9 even harder lol! 😂🎉
When I was in high school 40 years ago this was one of our favorite jazz band songs
@@hankkingsley9300 I gotta do it, it's called a piece, not a song.
СИЛЬНЕЙШИЙ ТРУБАЧ МИР, БРАВО, СУПЕР🎉🎉🎉
people say that he once kissed a girl and she blew up
Same LOL
That’s why his wife is always angry at him
Nah that was maynard ferguson
You sure he wasn’t doing cpr?
All we know is…HE’S CALLED THE STIG!
Gotta love the military, man.
"Son, you're gonna play your solo AFTER Arturo Sandoval's solo"
"Yes sir!"
*crushes it*
fr, fr
I thought the same thing. Pretty rough act for any trumpet player to follow.
hears the whistles in the audience after
Arturo: I can do that
A living legend, right here.. truly the world's best trumpet player to EVER live..
I love you and your channel. U should try bari sax, it's so fun🔥🔥🔥

Met him before after a concert. such a humble and talented man. I wonder if future generations will learn to appreciate such beauty.
from what my middle and high school band has shown me at least my generation has especially honored and looked up to Arturo and many other artists
+Panda Waffles Agreed. Hopefully you can see him live like I did a couple months ago in Long Beach . It was an amazing experience.
Very thankful I also met him, extraordinary talent and also humble, delightful person.
I had a teacher who had played with him and said he was always stoned and acting like a jackass, but still an extremely talented player.

Wtf I didn't even think those notes were possible that was amazing
TE AMAMOS SIEMPRE ORGULLO DE NUESTRA TIERRA!!
mrmathman202 Translation: “We love you always, proud of our ground”
I like how every time he plays another octave at 4:40 the camera cuts to a new angle
and higher he go, closer is the angle there is some genuis is the realisation too
My embouchure muscles hurt just watching this
That conductor just vibing is the greatest thing ever.
saw him live in Miami at his club with my father years ago. I am always surprised at how much Jazz knowledge my father has. No one still really knows about his club in Miami.
I just love how Sandoval used the same intro for his solo from 20 years ago. If you watch a video of him playing with Dizzy, he uses the same intro for that solo
That intro solo is the famous "alto break" from Charlie Parkers' Night in Tunisia.
Didn't even know that last octave could be reached on the trumpet. Incredible.
SALT1NE It's incredibly hard, it's just as hard as it is to hit a double or triple C
AmericanPatriot76 It's a triple G, so lower than a triple C, but above a double. However, the real kicker is that he often plays this as the finisher for a 90 minute concert. Also, to play it in tune and have it even be recognized is astounding
I think he is the only one that can do that
Miguel Aravena nah, lots of people can play that high. He's one of the only ones who are crazy enough to use those notes in an actual piece of music
He covers 6 1/2 octaves in about 20 seconds at the end. Ridiculous.
+sivad parks 4.5 octaves.
+juanito506 6 and a half if you count the thing that he does before the repeated phrases
u rite
It's actually 5 octaves and a half (5 octaves and 7 half-tones precisely)
benemles ok, thanks. My ear isn't too great. I tried matching it with my piano to count but I may have been just wrong.
Arturo is the man 👍😎🎺 that military trumpeter was also great.
We agree!
I'm a trumpet player and I'm in tenth grade and my music teacher gave us this song to play in jazz band and I love it so much and he showed us this and I had to watch it again... Such a great inspiration, wish I could learn how to solo lol
You can learn how to improv it's simple once you understand the scales and cords it's a lot of fun even if you don't get it perfect at first
At its core, if you just ignore e chord progressions and just play what sounds right, you’ll do fine. That’s what I did when first starting
Two comments and they're both wrong lol
@@marciamakesmusic there is no right way to improvise
Did you guys play the 4 octaves? 🤔

trumpet is certainly not the most difficult instrument to learn
And I'm saying that as a brass player
@@ghp7382Yeah trumpet is definitely not the hardest. I say this as a trumpet player who also learned French horn and am learning trombone.
@@davidstepney5394 same. I can play all the brass instruments except tuba and french horn is the hardest of them.
@@jhamareeshivers9172French horn is notoriously tough. Trombone is also gets very tricky on fast tempos with all the moving around you gotta do.
My Dad, a lifelong trumpet player, passed away recently. This reminded me of him. Wonderful,
I love that he applauds the other soloist. ¡El mejor, Arturo!

As a 29 yr old black man from Detroit who grew up off hip hop. I can truly say I love jazz it's my favorite genre as I grew up in age
That trill at 4:35 almost sounded like it was in the Tuba range, holy crap
He does amazing things with pedal tones
How is that embouchure even possible and still sound amazing??
It is in the tuba range, how he got that good is cause he's had like 60-70 years of trumpet practice in his life span.
@@frankierodriguez9729 Well that's some of it
Dedication, hard work, and practice
I never knew the USAF had such a glorious band! This is magic, and Arturo Sandoval is the cherry on top.
🎺 Thanks so much!
Arturo Sandoval. Redefining the range of the trumpet. (Those low notes. What on Earth...!).
Maybe I am the only Tunisian who knows about this song. is there anyone here ?
That's so beautiful, thanks for the feelings.
You're welcome!
This Man is an inspiration to me as an immigrant from Mexico. We Latinos are the backbone and the living heart beat of this country. Viva la Raza and God bless the United States

Mr Arturo Sandoval... what a monster you are on the trumpet!! WOW!!
That he is!
Utterly delightfull performance and my highest respect for the US airforce! Greetings from belgium
Greetings from the United States! Thanks so much for watching!
Oh yeah 👍🏾🎶
Arturo Sandoval, All the love you project returns to you!
Man, I would be nervous if I played in front of Arturo.
Rollin Shultz Yeah I would go up to my highest note (a double G) and he'd be like "Psh, that's nothing"
Rollin Shultz He did a clinic with my jazz band and he played fourth with me. I was playing less than a foot away from Arturo Sandoval
I was nervous every time. He was/is humble and gracious.
This man is the best trumpeter in the world to date. Blessings my brother.
Listening to this at night and in tunisia🇹🇳 ❤
Wow
Air Force trumpet soloist is great! I would be crapping my pants if I had to take a solo after Arturo...
His solos are just so amazing. They aren't based around just stuff in the upper register which he could do. It's just shows why scales are just as important as range
Fantastic performance on Trumpet by Maestro Arturo and the great Big Band of USAF. It sounds like F-15 Take Off..!!
That one trumpet solo was absolutely stunning! 🤩

Wow! Just wow!! I teared up near the end with that frigging range!!! How many octaves!!?? I didn't even know it was possible on a trumpet!!
Great performance by Mistro Arturo. Saw him at Ronnie Scott's in the 1980's. What a trumpeter!
Agreed! 🎺
If you’re a trumpet player you know… if you’re not a trumpet player you still know. Can’t wait to see him on 11/10/2024 in Virginia USA.
Beautiful. Simply Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Makes me emotional hearing those beautiful voicing from that instrument from that talented artist
fantastic!!!
Many thanks!!

Hey, Arturo! I am also a trumpet player, but MAAAN!!! What I wouldn't give to play the horn like you do! Sincerely, a fan, John F. Phillips.😂
to this day one of my favorite songs played by my favorite trumpet player. that bit at the end is just unreal.
nothing Arturo can't do a full pallet of skills is at his command. A modern day Master.

You are an incredible man mr. Sandoval!
it would be cool to have Arturo Sandoval come in my classroom and give a master class.
I'd still say Art Blakey and the Jazz messengers' rendition of the standard is my favourite, but this one comes pretty damn close
