Sounded like the horn was like "yeah man, let's sing this" and it worked along side him. Sounded so so so relaxed

[coy]

His tone is so clear you can hear the other overtones so clearly.He’s just on a different level.

[TrumpetBozo]

As a trumpet player, these are the best high notes I’ve ever heard

> casually with a relaxed sound
Sure, okay, fine, whatever you say man

[manuelperathoner]

most people won't get how f*cking impressive this is...

[AUsableUsername_]

The way he makes it seem like this is just a daily warm up is actually impressive, not just the way he so calmly played those really high notes, but also stylistically, this is absolutely beautiful

[chrishamilton]

I love the way he moves with the beautiful and aunting melody and rythm. fabulous musianship.

I watch this video whenever i'm having a bad day and it instantly puts a smile on my face

I’ve been amazed and humbled by Allen’s playing so many pieces that I consider nearly impossible effortlessly, beautifully, and with passion, fire, excitement, and musical mastery for nearly 50 years.

In 1977, just out of the Eastman School of Music he toured with Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd Big Band, and they stopped at The Brown Derby in Akron Ohio, near my hometown.

His sustained, double-tongued 2 octave intervalic virtuosity, (while circular breathing no less!) on his own composition and signature feature with the band, Firebird, made my head explode!

Doc Severenson was an early mentor and remains a lifelong friend of Allen’s, having met him when Allen was a high school student in Montaña.

Doc, widely considered one the most disciplined and consistent players ever, as well as among the most recognizable and influential trumpeters of the past 70 years, says Allen is the most efficient trumpet player he’s ever met and heard.

This is genuinely so impressive, I’ve been playing trumpet nearly every day for 5 years and I couldn’t even think about playing this piece with the same level of accuracy and good tone as he can.

[erikandreasbonde]

Your father hears this anywhere! Just wonderfull

[Hopeyisaaks]

He's just the best, no forced notes, with so much ease

[SamThrows]

Got a masterclass from this guy and he's not a show off or anything just a genuine guy who wants to spread music and its really awesome to see

[shravan]

This is so impressive. Playing high notes with a relaxed face is probably one of the hardest things a trumpet player can do.

[hte]

you are amongst my absolut favorite trumpet players - it sounds so easy playing 👍

[SliderMZT]

Love your videos man! I haven’t played trumpet in a while but I’m so impressed at your ability to transcribe some of these solos

[YellowLemonmuncher]

I can only imagine such beautiful tone on high notes above D at the moment.

[DouglasESmith-fudi]

Amazing. Thank you for putting in the thousands of hours in the practice room. It's inspiring. 🎺

[stevehayes]

The harmonics in that last note was insane.

[marceldiseraad]

I can play this, but my trumpet won’t let me 😂
