I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what horn/mouthpiece setup Wynton used on his recording Standards and Ballads. I know it's 98% the player but it sounds so good. Especially on the third track Embracable You. |

It’s an early Monette Raja on the Standard Time vol 2, Intimacy Calling cover, where Embracable You is collected from! Probably the trusted B2 mouthpiece
BUT in 83, it would have been a Strad 65 Vindabona! Hot House Flowers from 84 is played on that one, and the sound he has on that album is by far the nicest trumpet sound I’ve heard! _________________ Van Laar OIRAM light I

The album "Standards and Ballads" is a compilation album of recordings from 1983-1999.

The Embraceable You recording is from Standard Time Vol 2. That album was released in 1990. Wynton was playing a Monette of some sort. You can see the horn on the album cover. |

Thanks for the insights. I was under the mistaken impression that he was playing a Bach on that. |

I don't gush over all of Wynton's work but this is one of my all-time favorite recordings. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."
