He is a great guy!! We greatly miss him here in Chicago.

Chris studied with Larry Black in Atlanta before going to Eastman to study with Barbara Butler and Charlie Geyer. All three of the teachers studied with Cichowicz.

Technically, there hasn't been a principal since Phil Smith. Only acting and guests.

@@ThaSchwab r/woooosh

feelgoog22 it probably either a Schagerl or Weimann.

yes he was

Heard he left due to better pay at NYPO

@@foodmore better pay or not, he left the cso for the philharmonic. go figure.

There is one golden rule for mouthpieces. You can play whatever the fuck you want as long as it's comfortable and you sound good

@@maggoteater2290 amen

@@maggoteater2290 That pretty much settles any question on mouthpieces. lol

It is the “Promenade” for Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”. (Originally a piano pice arranged for orchestra by Ravel). The Promenade theme represents a museum visitor making their way through the galleries, recurring throughout the piece as the visitor stops to view a number of paintings along the way.

m nm pictures at an exhibition: promenade

@@Mariachikids00004 thank you a lot!

Promenande from pictures at an exhibition

Haha nice

mahler 5

I do not see any reason to believe that at all. He has a bland tone with almost no individuality. Go listen to players like Bernard Adelstein, Phil Collins (cincinnati), James Thompson (Montreal/Atlanta), Charlie Schlueter, and Glenn Fischthal from the 1980s and Ryan Anthony, Tom Rolfs, and Mark Hughes today.

@@triangularplanet2424 Don't care about what you're saying, I have ears. And for this performance I'm sure of what I'm saying, Better to hear him (for the highest note sound) in other performances. I also know a lot of first orchestral trumpet players and I have to say that until now I prefer some of his competitors much more for orchestra playing because of this super-power to stand above a hundred players orchestra at full volume and make me stucked against my chair hearing the upper melody of the section so clearly. Although they can't even imagine to gain the wonderful timbre that he has. For me the best for him is top of the tops chamber playing. Hey, this is only my opinion. Cheers.

Chris Martin is an exceptional player and performer, and Phil Smith leaves very large shoes to fill. Be respectful, he is an amazing player

@@samwhite7693 Don't mind me I'm just a grumpy malcontent who liked it better when standards were impossibly high. He's a fine player and all but, I don't know, I just don't see the musicianship in the current generation. It's like listening to robots try to play music. Somebody has to say something.

Will Moffett Okay boomer you probably don’t know very much about music or the trumpet at all. The competition has risen even more than back in the day, which sure phil Smith is a legend and always will be, but you can’t be completely oblivious to his musicality. Listen to a recital of his or something before you make a judgement, because you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Not anyone can just fill the seats of principal in both Chicago and NY with the Ass. Principal in Philly. Get your facts straight and do your research before you make a dumb comment like that, it makes you look dumb.

Darnel McGowan “okay boomer” I’m crying😂

@@darnelmcgowan7019 I'll pretend I'm a boomer. You young kids don't know shit and you are fucking up the world. This trumpet player is not exactly emblematic of this, but your defense of him is. You're an entitled little shit who has has probably never faced any real risk in their life. You had supervised "play dates" and never so much as cut your finger. My play time was playing in junkyards with fellow kids without an adult in site. You're so fucking soft you can't handle the slightest bit of criticism, even after I try to moderate my comments. This is why your generation is making NO MUSIC. All you are fucking doing is digging through our shit and trying to pass it off as your own because you have no creativity or character because you have to be exposed to some danger to get that and your pussy ass never was.

Hmmm. Bitter? Jealous? Quite a chip on your shoulder, and why? This isn't "shooting you" (you did that to yourself, lol) but consider also that it may be a matter of apples/oranges. I daresay many/most/all of the commercial/jazz-type players (for whom I have tremendous respect) couldn't manage to play a movement (not to mention the full work nor the whole concert) of Mahler or R.Strauss symphony in a flawless performance both technically and with the necessary strength, spirit, swagger and appropriate styles. As you manage to grow up, hopefully you'll discover that the "best players" from the whole spectrum of trumpeting have nothing but deep respect for the strengths and talents of their brothers/sisters in whatever musical environment they chose. Everyone has their strengths and limitations. Chet Baker probably wouldn't have survived 5 minutes in the Chicago Symphony, nor Dizzy in the Philharmonic, nor Maynard at the Metropolitan Opera, and I suspect that Bud H., Phil S., and Chris Martin were/are not the likely first call players for subbing in a highly advanced total free jazz gig, or a major big band, or even a trad jazz outing, but that doesn't diminish the value of either group of players. You know where some miracle players used to perform/record (and to some extent, still do and flourish)? The Hollywood studio players, many of whom could play almost ANYTHING, virtually on sight, in appropriate styles including "classical" and also to improvise in a variety of jazz styles. This could happen back and forth within a day, certainly day to day AND day after day. Even there, certain players had their specialties and were/are called upon for those talents. But the common undercurrent is RESPECT for each other. Perhaps you should consider that for those you sadly think "lack courage" or have "been tamed" or "sold their souls".

Ok maybe you didnt watch the video but he does play the solos they call in other soloists for special occasions not because the trumpets in the section can’t do it.

What complete and utter drivel.

Mr. Paulson, your comments are incorrect and uninformed. What is your experience in this area?

Your comment reeks of ignorance.
