Brought tears to my eyes. Mike Lovatt and these musicians John Wilson has assembled are not humans, they're angels from heaven sent us as a gift. And Johnny Mandel's poignant theme will will live forever. Thank you on behalf of a grateful people.
Goosebumps ...... we need more of this . But i'm afraid the 60s are long gone as are most of the Musical Greats who composed music like this . Thank goodness the recordings are still with us .
My absolute all time favorite song. It has deep meaning for me and this version is absolutely amazing. It brings up a great deal of emotion for me and holds the memory of someone very special to me that is gone now, but this song brings him back for me. I will be adding this one to my regular play.
DO listen the Perry Como vocal version ... once again. Johnny Hartman, Earl Coleman ..=other .. topdogs. Mine #1 tune similarly .. .. .. Listen also the several interviews w J.M. What a humble, modest personality despite being in the elite of Hollyweird mid-gen composers. 1925-2020. IOW, a great down-to-earth guy.
I saw JWO at Manchester Bridgewater Hall December '18 and what an amazing night. They did this number and simply these guys/girls NEVER let you down. The standard they play to is ridiculous. JW transposing is a joy and the individual/collective is phenomenal. Long may you reign!
This is the original orchestration as used in the 1965 movie "The Sandpiper" and played flawlessly. "The Shadow of Your Smile" is my favorite song of all time.
Yes, it is exactly the same score played at the beginning of the movie when credits appear on screen, and the Big Sur is showing all its majesty and beauty. Gorgeous!
I commented on this 2 years ago and now I’m going to do a gig with him as a special guest holy you know what! Looking forward to it though what a player ! What a sound ! Amazing and yes our eyes pop out especially when we go for those silly notes lol 😂
@@ritalagunas764 it was an awesome night especially with my brand new Yammy my mom fell in love with him and it was great that my late father was able to see a true professional in both manner and playing
I loved the orchestration and of course the trumpet playing as well - absolutely top-shelf! I was stoked. For the non trumpet players out there, let me tell you it is such a mighty difficult instrument to play, and those slow lyrical melodies are hugely stressful on the system. Do you see the soloist often has his eyes closed? That's because he is ensuring that they don't pop out. I tried it for 10 years or more, and I was a plodder despite all my passion and energy.
Just beautiful! The opening scene of the film The Sandpiper with Big Sur is in my top ten faves, made incredible by this piece of music … love this version played by such great musicians ❤
As a young a man, I really love this type of music and fat brass, but I am so worried about the situation. Less and less young people like brass music so that it maybe disappear. It is so sad.
#SEMPER FIDELIS #QUA PATET ORBIS #JE MAINTAN DRAI ! ♫♪ great ♫♪♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @/bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding! Compliments! #SEMPER FI #QPO #JMD
Beautiful. I was a frustrated trumpet player in high school. To use an old phrase...I could play the notes but not the music. Big difference. Favourite players now? Al Hirt and Maurice Andre
Beautiful Playing! Ywa , as good as Jack Sheldon who did it. Taste, sound, tone, feeling.....everything that makes a great trumpet playing. TASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@mikelovattsbrasspack i get it my dad was a TOP FLIGHT recognized player....lead player in big bands BUT he taught me ONE THING......TASTE, NOT high notes, HEART, emotion! EVERYTHING they don t teach at Berkley and I kno most of the faculty TENDER, TASTE, how to slide form note to note GRACEFULLY......THAT is PLAYING
Super playing Mike. Top c# with a felt crown on the bell not easy - have just played it through myself with such a mute and trying to make it sexy whilst pushing on this cover mute is not as easy as Mike makes it look. Sort of a relief the last bit is harmon. Think I need some keep fit to last on those longs notes also. Saw him do this at Bridgewater a short while ago - must be the best all round trumpetter in the world.
He certainly is. We had a great chat with him outside the Royal Albert Hall after a Prom Concert. I have his new CD he has recorded with Foden's Band. You can order it through his website if you are interested.
here is the original recording: www.discogs.com/Johnny-Mandel-The-Sandpiper-The-Original-Motion-Picture-Sound-Track/release/486267 this version is very close! super! i would love to hear that live.
Richard B. Davis thank you - this is the original version of this melody from the opening credits of the film the Sandpiper. It was originally played by Jack Sheldon so that is who I’m trying to channel here
Mike Lovatt thank you. I have rigged something similar just to take the brassy sound off my trumpet when I'm playing with others. I didn't know something actually existed.
of course I GET IT......Beautidul playing.....Look my dad m grandfather and cousin were not superior players but GREAT players who played for EVERYONE that was ANYONE....I know good trumpet......its way more than playing a NOTE.....its knowing what notes to play, how to play them and NUANCES that come ONLY from yoru heart and GOD,,,,,,it doesnt come from Berkley College of Music.Beleive me I know ALL of them,,,,, It s IN YOU or it AIN'T cant be taught....not that last inch of great playing
Classy, very musical playing from Mike Lovatt but maybe too fussy an arrangement - less is usually more, as in most things. Still good to listen to, however.
lockerup100 I think you mis understand the whole thing of this .... it’s a recreation of the original from the opening titles of the film.... tribute to the great jack sheldon -not supposed to be a up Tempo jazz version
Id like to see you have the courage to stand up in front of over 2 million people on national television and play as well as Mike does. Nichols, sit down you peasant
Brought tears to my eyes. Mike Lovatt and these musicians John Wilson has assembled are not humans, they're angels from heaven sent us as a gift. And Johnny Mandel's poignant theme will will live forever. Thank you on behalf of a grateful people.
One of the greatest players of the this era - Mike Lovatt. Was wonderful listening to this again.
this score changed my life- more than 40 years ago.
I miss Jack and his big bell horn. A sound like no others
@connie rahim And now he's gone. RIP Jack Sheldon

This is the arrangement they used to open the movie THE SANDPIPER, for which the song was written. Beautiful.

I can hear the Big Sur surf in the back ground of my mind, and I recall the memories of wonderful times there.
Stunning playing. So very difficult to play brass like this. World Class.
I saw JWO at Manchester Bridgewater Hall December '18 and what an amazing night. They did this number and simply these guys/girls NEVER let you down. The standard they play to is ridiculous. JW transposing is a joy and the individual/collective is phenomenal. Long may you reign!
Mike Lovatt, you are The Man.
Bloody hell, that's great playing.
That's one thing I really miss about the '60s - great music to go with the films. This is a great example of that !
"All the lovely things you are to me...," Lester Young always had the lyrics in his head, as does Mike. Love to John Wilson Orchestra.
Smoothe as silk
This is the original orchestration as used in the 1965 movie "The Sandpiper" and played flawlessly. "The Shadow of Your Smile" is my favorite song of all time.
Yes, it is exactly the same score played at the beginning of the movie when credits appear on screen, and the Big Sur is showing all its majesty and beauty. Gorgeous!
Jack Sheldon played it for the film, I believe.
Beautiful, Mr. Lovatt....
Really gorgeous. Makes me feel like I'm in Big Sur again.... nothing more beautiful. Great, wonderful, terrific orchestra !!!!
Absolutely Beautiful. I thought I was listening to the Soundtrack ! The most Romantic score written. Timeless....... BRAVO !
Beautifully played version of this tune. I really like the cool. suave touch the players have. Nice to hear.
I commented on this 2 years ago and now I’m going to do a gig with him as a special guest holy you know what! Looking forward to it though what a player ! What a sound ! Amazing and yes our eyes pop out especially when we go for those silly notes lol 😂
Wow! What an honor! Your lucky!
@@ritalagunas764 it was an awesome night especially with my brand new Yammy my mom fell in love with him and it was great that my late father was able to see a true professional in both manner and playing
Listening to this with tears in my eyes, as I paint my painting, so beautiful. So perfectly done. It's art. Thank you.
Simply beautiful WOW !
Beautiful Mike, superb playing always...
Fantastic trumpeter Master Mike Lovatt
Thank you
@@mikelovattsbrasspack Nice sound)You use big mouthpiece?
simply magical... just like I first saw the movie in the 60's
Absolutely brilliant 👍

had they popped out, it might have been with the price.
Magnificent!! The 3rd chair violinist was even emotionally moved to tears!
Mike Lovatt THE go to man for lead trumpet and he proves it here. Unbelievable technical command and control.
John Wilson is a Phenom! What else can I say? Unbelievable talent!
Just beautiful! The opening scene of the film The Sandpiper with Big Sur is in my top ten faves, made incredible by this piece of music … love this version played by such great musicians ❤
Sounds just like in the movie! Bravo!!
So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️ makes me cry
A classic bygone era, that has yet to be replicated in this present time.
Great work Mike!! Glad I got to watch this again!
Bloody magnificent Mike!!
Oh my, awesome
Fantastic, brilliant, thanks Mike!
As a young a man, I really love this type of music and fat brass, but I am so worried about the situation. Less and less young people like brass music so that it maybe disappear. It is so sad.
Trust me you don't have anything to worry about 😃
The best! Bravo!
Wonderful music!!! Great 👍👍👍

Magnificent performance!

Jack Sheldon would be proud.
BEAUTIFUL
Nice work Mike! Great arrangement too!🎼🎵🎺🎺
Incredible playing. Doesn't get any better than this.

This Arrangement is the Best, just the way it should be Mike is the very best .
Perfeita execução do arranjo de Johnny Mendel. Cool jazz.
Bringing even more tears of pleasure
Mike you sound absolutely fabulous on this! Thank you for making my day!
Trent Austin thanks - I’ve been enjoying your videos on technique chops etc here on you tube too and really enjoying them. All best wishes and thanks
@@mikelovattsbrasspack Magnificent. You're a truly great player. A worthy successor to the late great Kenny Baker.

We played this in jazz band
I absolutely adore this! Probably not Mike’s favourite to play, but mine to listen to. Hear more from a Mike on Facebook- Mike Lovatt Trumpet
As good as it gets, any place any time, any musician.
JON D. ELDER and any composer
Great as ever, Mike. Regards, Allen.
Bravo!
Magical . . .

liesten to the man, jack sheldon, do it and you'll here a voice in the horn.
I salute, THE Men 🚹🚹🚹🚹🚹 of the Orchestra!!😃 I Honour You All. Wa'do, Thank You so very much
Gold Bless!! Better than original version on my opinion.🙌🙏🏿👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Severus note from his heart
great what else can i say.
Gorgeous tune and top class playing. That said, I'd have preferred the more lyrical, mellow sound of the Fluegel Horn.
Mike is so great! Where can one buy the red pull over bell mute Mike is using for this?
Caroline Basile Godbless you

Richard B. Davis thank you - this is the original version of this melody from the opening credits of the film the Sandpiper. It was originally played by Jack Sheldon so that is who I’m trying to channel here
Richard...Maynard Ferguson was no Bobby Pratt.
@Mike Lovatt its a sadyyy commentaryyou even have to explain it.
@Mike Lovatt its a sadyyy commentaryyou even have to explain it.
what is on the Bell?
David Landsberg it’s a felt crown to try to emulate the recorded sound that Jack Sheldon got on the original.
Mike Lovatt thank you. I have rigged something similar just to take the brassy sound off my trumpet when I'm playing with others. I didn't know something actually existed.
Was going to be my question :)

Now try Ben Webster.
Wyn Lewis ?
Classy, very musical playing from Mike Lovatt but maybe too fussy an arrangement - less is usually more, as in most things. Still good to listen to, however.
Nice but too slow.
not if you heard it as The Sandpiper opens with views of the Big Sur surf...no words, just deep feelings
Great musicianship, but I prefer a more up tempo version,e.g. Manhattan Jazz Orchestra. Still a thumbs up though.
lockerup100 I think you mis understand the whole thing of this .... it’s a recreation of the original from the opening titles of the film.... tribute to the great jack sheldon -not supposed to be a up

the horn sounds like my mothers farts
You Sir/Madam, have a problem
thank you dear
Id like to see you have the courage to stand up in front of over 2 million people on national television and play as well as Mike does. Nichols, sit down you peasant
stop being a star
Your mother is very lucky! Few people have farts that are so musical, beautifully phrased and perfectly in tune. You must be very proud of her.
