I remeber hearing Bobby Shew at the Jazz Bakery in L. A. play "Shadow of Your Smile". This must have been in 97, or 98. That was without a doubt the beautiful flugel sound I have ever heard before or since.

If it's sound you're looking for you must check out Guido Basso. Guido is one of those guys you can recognize in just 2 or 3 notes.
He has several solo releases but is probably best known for his work with Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass.

I agree-Bobby is incredible on flugel. Iwould also put Clark T on the list. There is also a guy out of Portland Oregon, used to play in Woody's band that plays his butt off on flugel-Paul Mazzio.

You know, I really like my flugel sound.
I don't innovate, I don't improvise all that well, I could use a couple of notes on the top side and my choice of flugel music is mostly standard ballads, especially the slow, sad ones.
But, I do have my sound right where I want it.
If I thought that someone else's sound was "best," I'd copy it. But, I don't.
For me, my sound on flugel is the best.

(This does not apply to my trumpet playing. I am not really very happy with my trumpet sound and keep messing around with instruments, mouthpieces and chops trying to find what I want. I just haven't got there yet after more than 50 years on the instrument.)

"Milestones" is a trumpet (sextet) album.
"Porgy and Bess" is, I believe, mostly/all trumpet.

On "It Ain't Necesarily So" from "Porgy and Bess" is that Flugal or trumpet?
And the title track from "Milestones"... is that Flugal or Trumpet?

I like Kenny Wheelers sound too. I also like Miles, Chuck (Mangione and Findley), Eddie Henderson, Derek Watkins not to mention Henry Lowther, Maurice Murphy (brassed off) oh... and Jerry Hey.
Do I have a favourite? Not really. I love them all.
All the best. Noel. |

Henry would get my vote - heard him play a couple of weeks ago and the flugel sound was simply gorgeous (could it be that the instrument helps - those Eclipse flugels are incredible?)
On a local level, John Goodwin (Surrey Brass' prime flugel player) has a sound that I would kill for. He sums up everything I love about the flugel - if only I could imitate  |

I'm with you, Mr. Rogers... Kenny Wheeler's sound in both gorgeous & all his own -- something that jazz players strive for their entire careers. Plus, he's got the big picture ALL happening at once -- his writing also fits his "voice" on the horn perfectly.
This is somethiing that I truly respect about Kenny Wheeler -- from the first note on his recordings, you know exactly who ho is, from his horn sound to his writing (no matter who the players are or what the instrumentation is on any particular track or record)...

yes indeed kenwatters.
have you heard wheeler's playing on "part Iii - for jan" on "music for large and small ensembles"?! Such a haunting melody and then his solo following the trombone's is unreal...all emotion. The way he rounds off at the end is great...what form!!!! That is one of my like top five solos of all time. |

Yep -- that entire CD is a PERFECT place to start for folks who aren't as familiar with Kenny Wheeler's work. "For Jan" is beautiful...
My three personal favorite Wheeler albums are Double Double You, Gnu High & Deer Wan, although when I hear the opening to The Sweet Time Suite, I almost can't help but get teary-eyed...
