I'm sure there might already be a post on this but maybe someone can help me out.

Anyone know around when was the last year Wynton played on his Bach? I love the sound he gets on that Bach (not that I don't love his sound on his Monette).

Thanks!

He's been on Monettes for over 30 years now. I think Hot House Flowers was the last album he did on the Bach. That was 1984.

Yeah I think hot house flowers was his last album on the Bach. He played a Monette mouthpiece on his Bach for a bit before he made the swap.

As for preference? Wynton on Bach, any day. He's a genius of the trumpet, but I prefer his sound on the Bach.

Actually I think that's backwards... On Black Codes he's playing an early M with a Bach Mouthpiece. I think J Mood is the first album all M equipment but I'm not sure of that. The Tomasi Album same thing (early M C but Bach mpc).

I have never enjoyed his sound on the Monette. Way too diffuse, dull, and no high overtones. Just sounds like a bucket mute is constantly over the bell. Bach sound was colorful and sassy, brilliant and flexible. He really needs to go back...

I'm glad that somebody else said it.

I have all the respect in the world for Mr. Marsalis, but I definitely prefer his sound on the Bach.

Was he playing a Vindabona on "Think of One"?

Warm regards,
Grits

I don't want to pile on here but I have to agree. Unfortunately at this point I'm pretty sure there is no going back. Wynton has "Monette 4 life" tattooed on his inner thigh. Don't ask me how I know this.

There was a video on youtube that I cannot for the life of me find. It's Wynton playing a jazz show when he played a Bach with the 65 bell and it's absolutely GORGEOUS playing. I will still try and find it but if any of you find it let me know. I prefer his sound on the Bach stuff..even though for the majority of my life he has played on the Monette equip.

Interesting how as fans of trumpet artists we sometimes prefer one of their equipment choices over another. As a big fan of James Morrison I love his sound on the Yamaha signature model he used to play rather than the Schagerl horn he went to a few years ago. Just something extra in the sound to my ears with the Schagerl sounding a little duller by comparison.

This is 1988.

Is that an early Monette mpc, Trent? It's hard to see.

What a sound!!! Oh my.

+1-Ive always felt that the Monette does not give him anything better than a Bach did in his earlier performances-it would be interesting to hear from him why he prefers Monette

Yes it is lightweight which looks like a copy of a Stork blank or Olds blank. This is 2-3 years after Black Codes I do believe. Cover of Black Codes is a Bach mpc inside the Monette instrument.

Monette instruments probably help him play and sound the way he wants.

As someone who can afford any instrument and makes a living playing, he has access to and can pick any instrument. Why would he choose one that doesn't help him do best what he wants to do?

Wynton was on a Bach was on 1984 Hot House Flowers, one of his best albums and one of my favorites. Super Audio Cd sounds Awesome. For Me Better than M equipment. Wynton have never sound like this again. Hes Great always but this album is a Must for all trumpet players in a lot of aspects like sound clarity, imrovisation, and a true Feeling.
To be clear please does any one how he was on a 72 with which Bach piece on this era?
Thanks

Felix, I thought he played a 65 bell. May be wrong!

what i do remember is them doing When i wish upon a star

it was pretty incredible

i saw Wynton last year in Paris and i told him that i was there and he said
"Don't tell anyone" pretty funny

he sounds great on that bach. i really hear the classical sound concept in his attacks and general tone production. very focused and clean

my .02€ cents
