Jazz Trumpet Licks

I first heard this Arturo Sandoval trumpet solo on YouTube without the transcription. Thanks to Joseph Prieto you can now take a look at the transcription of Arturo’s trumpet solo on There Will Never Be Another You and try to get some new Jazz licks from it.

I had to share this trumpet transcription of James Morrison because Thomas Voss did such a great job. I’m starting to like these YouTube video transcriptions more and more. Morrison does a great job of building up the solo and outlining all the chord changes. This trumpet solo on “All Of Me” (Seymour Simons/Gerald Marks […] Read the rest of this entry…

I love this Jazz clip of Ryan Kisor at a jam session in London. Notice that I mentioned jam session, I wonder if he’s had a few drinks?

Freddie Hubbard definitely does a great job of adding his unique Jazz style to the tune. One thing I’ve always noticed about Freddie Hubbard is that he likes to takes really […] Read the rest of this entry…

I’ve always enjoyed the unique Jazz trumpet style of Randy Brecker. There are some really nice diminished patterns that Randy Brecker repeats of few times in this trumpet solo. The trumpet solo starts off with a harmon mute, then Randy plays the rest of the solo open. Why he did this, I don’t know. It’s […] Read the rest of this entry…

Take a listen to this nice Jazz trumpet solo of Ryan Kisor on Fly me to the Moon. I can’t say much about the sax player, so the comments say in You tube. This Jazz video displays good use of Ryan Kisor’s trumpet technique. Ryan Kisor’s trumpet sound is very clean on this tune. Notice […] Read the rest of this entry…
