Trumpet videos

Thanks for clarifying once again, Don. I know nothing about musical instruments and to the best of my knowledge my only experience with a flugelhorn is with Chuck Mangione's album here. Though you say and it's purported that the flugelhorn is "darker" or warmer (and I'm not doubting you) but the way Chuck plays it here, to my less-experienced ears it actually sounds very much like a slightly tamed trumpet.

Anyway, thanks for the education.

Hey, it's mostly (some argue all) the player... Chuck's songs are very high for a flugelhorn so the sounds start to converge, but a lot (arguably most) of the sound that comes out is the sound in our heads. Scary, in my case. :)

Listen to some Harry James or Herb Alpert, or classic Chicago Symphony with Bud Herseth, for a "classic" trumpet sound.

Thanks for clarifying, Don. Herb Alpert? You mean like this one I posted earlier? :)
