is this the "three notes at the same time" dude

[imitch]

Legend. This man violated multiple health codes that solo was so filthy

[FanOfMostEverything]

That conductor is having the best time of his life and it's clear why.

[paulgrass]

The greatest thing is that they are obviously all having great fun playing. Makes it so much more authentic and fun to listen to too.

[Johnnycdrums]

Guy hit that high C so clean and loud, hell of a starting point.

[eggthursday]

i have a theory that you can judge the quality of a trumpet solo by how much the guy looks like a frog at the end, 10/10

[benst]

James Morrison’s face while playing the trumpet is an excellent means for inventing new colors.

[adrianng]

I don’t know what’s better.
These insane high notes or Johnny Depp conducting this whole thing

[_Challengerr]

To anyone who does not know how to play trumpet you do not understand how insanely impressive this is. Wow

[abeherbert]

No longer surprised to see James Morrison in half of these, the guy is unstoppable.

[justsomeguy]

Filthy is not enough to describe how this trumpet solo absolutely punch.

[navcenter]

I got to play in a backing band for James about 20ish years ago, As a brass player (trumpet, Trombone, Tuba variants) the pleasure watching him go thru his warmup routine, prior to a performance, If you thought that run was fast, you aint seen nothing, and it was always so clean you could make out every note. George you did a fabulous job doing the notation, but to sit back and close your eyes while you listen is just magic

[mrwyatt]

I can only dream of playing trumpet as good as James Morrison.

[bigm]

He is one of the greatest trumpeters in the world, yet still humble enough to play in small venues like the place down the road from us.

[JoeBleasdaleReal]

Been obsessed with James Morrison ever since I saw him at the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony in 2000. No-one does super Gs phatter! 🎺

[melb]

James Morrison, absolute legend…. I had the honour of playing with this guy many many years ago. Not only is he an astoundingly good musician, he’s a great guy, fantastic sense of humour and doesn’t mind a good practical joke…

[colefujinaga]

Is no one going to talk about that insanely smooth trumpet flip at the end

[velocirapture]

I saw this mate live 20 years ago. He played the piano and the trumpet at the same time. Crikey!

[yellowcarpet]

Ive met James,
he told me a story about when he played with a punk band, they covered the end of the trumpet with duck tape to put a microphone on it.
i recall that his nose and ears were bleeding, everyone thought it was hardcore. he is so talented that he can fit in with a punk band while his ears are bleeding.
its safe to say that he never played with a punk band again.

[_mysterie_]

My trumpet teacher would probably say that having a face that red isn't healthy but goddamn. what a solo

anything for music
