Jazz Trumpet Licks

You’re are going to love this live Jazz trumpet video of Arturo Sandoval, Randy Brecker, Chuck Findley, and Byron Stripling all taking a ride on Cherokee, trading eights, and starting and finishing with a great harmonized head of Cherokee. All four of these top notch trumpet players take phenomenal Jazz rides on Cherokee, which we all know is a pretty tough tune. Arturo Sandoval plays some pretty impressive high notes, Byron Stripling nails every chord change, Chuck Findley plays a very melodic trumpet solo, and Randy Brecker shows off his trumpet style all in one very fast, trumpet lick filled Jazz video. This recording was performed with the GRP All Star Big Band.

I really like this Jazz trumpet video clip of Adam Rapa testing trumpet mouthpieces. Adam Rapa really sounds great on the trumpet even when he’s testing out trumpet mouthpieces. I also had the chance to take a look at Adam Rapa’s website and it looks like Mr. Rapa has quite a busy schedule of gigs, good for him. Apparently Adam Rapa was at the Monette Factory when he tested these trumpet mouthpieces.

Here is a nice Jazz trumpet solo I found of Roy Hargrove taking a ride over some basic rhythm changes. I like this Jazz trumpet solo because Roy Hargrove nails all the changes and he makes use of good space throughout the trumpet solo. The name of the tune is apparently Da Costa De La Cuba, but I never heard of it before. The tune is basically rhythm changes with an arranged head. The rhythm changes are taken at a faster and more fun tempo. I almost forgot to mention that this tune was performed by the Roy Hargrove Quintet.
