| 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!

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.
