He's playing what is called a double horn, meaning that depending how you direct the air with the trigger, the horn can be in two different tunings, F or Bb. Marsalis plays trumpet, which is in Bb, so holding the trigger down makes the note fingerings the same on horn as they are for trumpet.

As a horn player who play trumpet as a second instrument, i can agree that he doesnt have the correct air flow. i find myself doing just that, execpt reversed when playimg trumpet.

@DonBernhard

7 жыл бұрын

You know, watching it again, the bigger difference seems to be the embouchure. He's 50/50 upper/lower lips. Works wonderful for trumpet and probably trombone. Horn uses about 2/3 upper lip, 1/3 lower lip (different with each player.) That gives a different air flow as well as a different sound. Then there's the style in which he is playing. Jazz styling with a more punchy phrasing. That's not normally heard on horn. I think, even with that styling, the horn would speak better with a bit more air. Quite simply, the horn takes more air than its smaller cousin, the trumpet.

First off, Wynton's sound reminded me of his trumpet and a little saxophone Also, I loved how he picks up an unfamiliar instrument, plays around, and improvises with all his Jazz knowledge. Truly one of the greats.

When I was in high school in New Orleans, I made LMEA Senior High Honor Band in my junior year in 1978, I played first clarinet...I was sitting right across from Wynton Marsalis, who was, of course, first trumpet. He went on to bigger and better things...true story!

The best horn challenger ever!

The Marsalis family are awesome- Wynton still has a whole bunch of great music to make, and I am thankful he's here to do so. My HS music director knew his dad and was a fan- when he needed clarity from the podium, he broke out his coronet and ditched the baton- we heard him just fine! FR

God Bless! I've heard Mr. Marsalis, first time, in my town Torino Italy, he was 18 years old, and playn' the trumpet with Art Blakey's Messengers! Then he come back, a couple of times... One, was with Elvin Jones Group, and playn' Love Supreme, in first part of the concert and a second set, with Flavio Boltro... what a beautiful experiences! ( apologyze my pour english )

5 seconds and he's nailed it. This is my go to trumpet hero.

To be able to switch instruments like that and improvise with great spontaneous imagination without preparation is quite impressive...

this was cute her laugh and getting into the music she seemed super happy.

Mr. Marsalis is the man. Love it.

As a trumpet player, I'm able to finger left handed reasonably well. Mentally, it's all there, but the muscles are a little slower/less coordinated. However, that may also just be due to not being left-handed. I know some left-handed trumpet players immediately play better when getting a special made left-hand trumpet despite never having fingered left-handed in their lives.

The perfect example of perfection in music: Joy all around. Thank you for this, Sarah and Wynton. I was blessed.
