Does anyone else listen to Trumpet Evolution by Arturo Sandoval and want to practice 27 hours a day?? The way he tries to replicate Clifford and Maynard is just awesome. I honestly had to go listen to Clifford's Joy Spring after listening to Arturo's to be sure of the differences. The man is truly a legend. I know they featured 'La Virgen de la Macarena' from the album on an Apple commercial recently.

He is an amazing player and person.

Arturo is a national treasure, and one of the few remaining links to the "old school" giants of jazz as far as the trumpet in concerned.

The things that man can do with the horn are simply other worldly.

BEAUTFIUL sound,flawless technique,composes, and plays fantastic jazz piano.


A true role model if I've ever seen one.

Dizzy said it best - Arturo is the "Grand Master" of the trumpet. Arturo also has serious piano chops too!

What makes him unique in today's trumpet world is he is not afraid to help others become better trumpet players / musicians. Or stated another way, he is not worried that by helping another fellow trumpet player become better, that in doing so, he will somehow lose his status.

Viva Arturo!

Bryant, thanks for the post. I hadn't listened to Trumpet Evolution until you mentioned it. All I can say is, "WOW". As I understand it, he does all of that with the same horn and 3C mouthpiece. I guess that is the definitive answer to the questions about what hardware you need to sound, bright, dark, smokey, commercial or symphonic - it's the Indian, not the arrow.

I think he used different hons! Take a look at the pictures on this site! The second last ie!

Of course, he COULD have used the same horn

I recognize most of the players from the pieces, but does anyone know if every piece is a 'tribute' to a certain player throughout the trumpets history? If so, please let me know. Thanks all for your insight!

I'm stoked about hearing his big band Christmas show at the Disney Concert Hall in LA Thursday night. Not sure who he'll have in the section this year but in the past it's included Wayne Bergeron and Gary Grant. Should be a killer evening!

The Hal Leonard artist transcription for Trumpet Evolution is a great accompaniment to have alongside the CD. A real challenge to try to emulate Arturo's performance. In fact, I'm going to go and practice now.

Bryant Jordan - Here is the CD insert and thoughts on each trumpeter that he emulated and recorded.

You can read the title for each song and the artist name but the text is actually not clear for the paragraphs.

I hit 'CTRL +' to zoom on the webpage / video as many times as needed to make it bigger.

Anyhow - yes - each song is a tribute to a different trumpeter.

Arturo's concert at the Disney was all I'd hope for and more. Using trumpet, piano, his voice and his huge personality, he dazzled and delighted the packed house which included 20 of LA's best studio musicians.

With the likes of Gary Grant and Dan Fornero in the trumpet section, the band was both torrid and tight, roaring on Anthropology and murmuring on Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Surprise guest Gordon Goodwin added highlights with his tenor and soprano sax solos and stories about his long association with Arturo. But the star of the show clearly was the man himself who sang achingly beautiful renditions of Dear Diz and Charlie Chaplin's Smile. And his extended improvisation at the keyboard on The Christmas Song was, for many in the audience, the evening's most welcome moment.

In short, the night was both a spectacular 75th birthday gift for me and, for all in the hall, a Christmas concert to remember.

Thank you, Arturo!

If you want a "sound model," it's hard to do better than his Coloratura on that album. He told me he played everything on one mpc! Different embouchures and horns, but one mpc.

But now he plays something much bigger, a 1.25 C.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, I'm blessed to have so many great friends that we share our love for music and our beloved trumpet!!! "Trumpet Evolution" is by far my favorite album ever, it pays my respect and admiration for all the artists that I admire and respects over so many years paying attention to the details and all the nuances in their artistry.

Greetings!

For some incredible fresh Arturo playing, at a level of artistry, spontaneity and intelligence making you almost cry and definitely goose bump you with its beauty, take a look on the tube at:

https://youtu.be/GZ-ckQEhKxw

And all preceding instalments, of course! It does not hurt that Arturo is hosting living legends who rejoice us with captivating duets with him...

Reminds me of back in the 90s, when I heard Arturo perform at Le Petit Journal in Montparnasse in Paris. The late Pierre Thibeau was in the audience and Arturo went to talk to him in the pause.

What a joy, can't wait for the next interview!

Cheers,
Pierre

This is my all-time favorite recording of Arturo, even though (or maybe especially because) he basically never plays above the staff, they all just make lovely music...
