  • BRASS FROM THE PAST: 2004 King Silver Flair “Dizzy Gillespie” Special Edition (model 2055DZU) Bb Trumpet. This was made by Conn-Selmer. This is the only Trumpet Model officially licensed by the Dizzy Gillespie estate. There were a limited number made with upturned bells. Notice the custom engraving of dizzy Gillespie on the bell. Listen to sounds from the past. About 80 years ago more or less when this song was written by Dizzy Gillespie: “A Night In Tunisia”.

      @@brassfromthepast5149 Hi, sorry if I reply late, I'm a clarinet teacher, I'm 47 years old but since I was a child I've always loved the trumpet, everyone always told me that I couldn't play it because of a scar on my lip caused by an accident by bike. I made 3000 attempts alone but without success! Before Christmas I tried putting the mouthpiece on the side of my mouth and I made the first sound, I've already changed 3 teachers because all they did was turn the mouthpiece everywhere! Now for a month I've been taking lessons from a trumpeter friend of mine who is 74 years old, with a mouthpiece between his lips, etc., and I can get up to the G above the staff! But I have always been in love with Harry James and you Americans who have always been much ahead of us Italians!

    That's a beautiful horn. And I've never heard you play any jazz, you sound great.

      I’m so glad that you enjoyed watching the video. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Yes, I love playing jazz. If you look back in some of my older videos I am playing jazz on some of those. Thank you so much for watching.

    I know you probably get asked this a lot, but where do you get all of these horns from? Unless you purchase all of them personally which I imagine would cost a fortune!

    • @brassfromthepast5149
      @brassfromthepast5149  2 роки тому +2

      All of these horns are in my personal collection. I have been collecting and restoring horns for over 15 years. Most of these horns I find on eBay. Some I find on Facebook Trumpet groups and from private collectors. A lot of old guys like me go out and buy a fancy sports car. I decided to invest my money in rare and antique horns, which is my passion. Most of these old horns increase in value as they become older. So they are somewhat of a good investment. And I get to have fun playing them and restoring them. Thank you very much for watching and for your interest.
