    2:41 not even a change in his face. That's incredible

    The lead player is Enrique Sanchez...he is now two years older than when this video was shot and an incredible player...he is on a full scholarship at Julliard and he goes back home to Florida on school breaks. If you'd like, you could reach him via Facebook.

    2:41 I think the only person I've ever heard play that high was Arturo Sandoval. And this guy didn't even have a change in expression. Unbelievable.

    very impressed with the student trumpet solo. he played off of vizzutti really well. a lot of the lines he played were seamless continuations of what vizzutti played right before. very well done.

    I was asked to play electric bass on this chart (I'm the bassist in the video). Out of the 10 charts we played that night, it was about half string bass and half electric bass if I remember correctly. Plus, the string bass I was playing was a rental that was set up very poorly, so I wouldn't have been able to play the classic intro line on it.

      Depending upon how much you "miss" it, check out your local community college. They usually have ensemble classes for non-music majors you can join for jazz, classical, etc. Have to get your axe out, sharpen up your chops in case they require auditions then go for it. It's what I did.

    I had the honor of playing with him and being a part of his clinic this past Saturday. He played Carnival of Venice and came back for an encore. The 2nd time he played it with his trumpet turned upside down. It was amazing to say the least.

    Well, the shallower cup helps make the upper register easier. The "V"-shaped cup makes the air stay more focused as it goes into the trumpet, creating a brassier, brighter sound, rather than a more-rounded classical sound. The wider rim is mainly just more comfortable to certain people depending on the shape and thickness of their lips.

    The Yamaha Miyashiro 1S played by Josh Shpak is much shallower than a Bach 3C, and the rim quite a bit wider. And the Miyashiro is more of a "V"-shaped cup instead of the Bach's "C"-shaped cup.
