Jazz Trumpet Licks

Jazz trumpet heaven jam session. A rare gathering with Dizzy Gillespie, Jon Faddis, Freddie Hubbard, Wynton Marsalis, Jimmy Owens, and Vaughn Nark jamming to the tune Tour De Force. Nothing is better than listening to trumpet players show off and jam against each other. With Jon Faddis and super high notes to Wynton Marsalis and super creativity and Freddie Hubbard and aggressive jazz licks.

There are a lot of great jazz licks to grab from this jam session video. Jimmy Owens has his name imprinted on his flugelhorn, nice. Enjoy!

This the first post at JazzTrumpetLicks which utilizes a Facebook embedded video. Let’s hope the Facebook servers are just as fast as Google’s servers. This Roy Hargrove live jazz trumpet solo performance demonstrates some hard bebop lines for sure, that’s why I posted the video. As usual, Roy Hargrove also builds up the solo well with lot’s of silence near the beginning of the solo.

Apologies as I don’t the name of the tune. If you know more details please share.

Here is a nice video of some great jazz legends taking trumpet solos over A Night in Tunisia. Lee Morgan, Maynard Ferguson, Clifford Brown, Arturo Sandoval, and Dizzy Gillespie.

Unfortunately the transcriptions don’t have chord changes. But A Night in Tunisia isn’t too complicated to just grab the chord changes from somewhere else.
