I had this album. I learned a lot about trumpet playing by playng along with his stuff...

Great flugel horn performance. In Canada we have Guido Basso who I have often thought might be the best jazz flugel hornist in the World for his emotive playing, but I like Vizzuti very much too for different reasons.

Allen Vizzutti is amazing....this song sounds like a weather channel song

Awesome! Thank you so much for posting!

This only sounds easy because it's this guy. He's better than the rest of us...

I like the sound and the fast part allen vizzutti can play very clean

@guitarplayaLORD -this was filmed around '83/'84 Viz was about 32.

Beautiful

yes ;) !!!

Mid 20's is a good guess definitely. As good as he is at jazz he's an even better classical player.

very nice

@Zacht37 The word "better" is all a personal thing. There is no right or wrong, it's like your trumpet & MPC set-up. If it's right for YOU, then it's the best, but for somebody else it may not work. We can critique players all day, but in the end it's what YOU think is better, who cares what others think as long as you dig it!

@mangoman500 yeah me too... "Odysseus -- It's the Thinking Man's Deoderant..."

Beautiful tune. Does anybody know how old Vizzutti was when he did this?

LOL agreed!!

I guess the best way to get good endurance is to put som hours of old fashion practise behind you. If you're more than a intermedian player you could try Caruso. Talk with a trumpetpro, The Caruso Method can be dangerous, but really helpful if you do them correct!

@ShoghiHayes I use the middle of the tongue for vibrato. I want my lips to not quivver.

2:55-3:00. WOW.

1.20-1.27 wow..

what did he do at 2:33 that sounded so freaking intense

It's just a matter of practice! You should be able to use both kinds of vibrato, they're good for different kind of music. Do halfstep-bendings and stuff like that to gain controll over your lips and adapt it later to your music and enjoy!

HAHAHA Sure is ! LOL! nice.

Thats flugelhorn right?

@Zacht37 Lol impossible, not only to name those better, but those who are even equal in skill.

Obviously early 80's from the hair styles.

i notice allen doing a vibrato by moving his fingers, why and how??

reminds me of some deodorent, dont ask me why, it just does...

theres no quik way to build endurance. its just good old fashoned practice.

@ThePhilosopher91 I just take steroids, they seem to work

@wobblebob95 No

i dont like green eggs and ham
