Every time a thread comes up about who the best high note guys are, or listing the all time great note this-or that gets bandied about, why is it that it seems like the most amazing high note guy of all time gets left out of the discussions, almost like he's so super human that he does not even count. Kind of as if clark kent was competing in the high jump, he would not be in the record books, or at least have an asterisk next to his name noting that he was super human therefore having some kind of advantage.
Jon faddis, the clark kent of trumpet:)
plus he's not just a high note guy
anybody else notice a tendency to make faddis be in his own kind of world doing his thing? _________________ Mouthpiece Maker

I love anything Maynard does, especially the trumpet break in La Fiesta. Arturo is amazing as well. But my favorite example of high note playing is Taps for Maynard. The high notes are used in a very moving way.

I like hearing high notes...I hate hearing screaming! Screaming is NOT what the greats did. Maynard, Bud, Chase, Faddis, Sandoval, et al play musicup there. Big difference between that and screaming. Screaming is the high note jock putting a double high X on the end of a chart just because he/she can. Sorry....that ain't music... _________________ Rick

I think Faddis is an absolute MONSTER. One of my favorites ever.
However I wouldn't think of him as "the most amazing high note guy of all time". He definitely can scream, but that's not how he's identified. As you indicated he's much more than a high note player.

That so eloquently illustrates the difference between "screaming" and playing in the upper register. _________________ Schilke B1

Dave Barduhn did the Kenton "Send in the Clowns" arrangement.
Album was "Kenton 76"....pick it up...fantastic album all around.
Thanks, Steve! _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

Favorite "screamer" performance....
Let's see....It had to be back during my undergraduate days...This hot little sorority girl agreed to let me stay over one night....Screamer, not a moaner...And I don't think she was faking it.
Screw all that screamer nonsense... have you ever heard about the story behind Styx's Mr. Roboto? That whole album is some weird, next level sh*t. I read about it then pooped out my brain. _________________ -GET OVER HERE!

HOLY SNAP!!! You CANNOT beat that W. Bergeron version of Laura. The beginning is so warm, lyrical, musical with such finesse. Then he takes it up and he plays.......so warm, lyrical, musical with such finesse. Amazing. I gotta get that CD!
The only other equal is Chuck Findley's Nature Boy. Again, he plays so warm and musical and then takes it up and still maintains that control and musicality that Bergeron displays. _________________ Adams/ACB collaborative
