We may use whatever is at hand for more deeper and more original expression. Like the bottom of this toilet plunger, for instance.

[sydposting]

Only a plunger meant for something as dirty as a toilet could have produced a solo this stanky, it deserves full recognition.

[potatogodalmighty]

That was disgustingly incredible and incredibly disgusting

[MaxxedFortnite]

I can't imagine how much focus it would take to not only play the trumpet but work the mute at the same time!

[stunning]

The “fluttering” at the end was beautiful.

[augustobresciani]

My dude be turning into toad in that high note

[dontworry]

My father used to play with Wynton. I've met him quite a few times and he's always inspired me personally to get into the trumpet. He's a truly soft spoken and kind gentleman.

[Cephalopoda]

I love that "eyebrows" on on the score there.

I've actually written myself "with eyebrows" before.

[trumpetguy]

The best part about Wynton he’s just so freaking cool lol. I’ll bet he finished this filthy riff and didn’t even miss a beat. “…see what I mean? Anyways….” Absolute legend.

[austinplatt]

I'm a trumpet player but only have played super basic plunger runes. What do you all recommend for me to learn the plunger better?

[jbarz]

That entire lecture series is up on YouTube and is one of the best things I have ever watched. The amount of talent in that small group of people is absolutely insane.

[eifieward]

this made me smile against my will, not sure how to interpret it

[donvampa]

0:39 sounded too much of a scream or a start of a big sneeze

[unisexbathroom]

dirty. disgusting. repulsive. revolting. riveting. 10/10

[zagorith]

One of my biggest regrets is not continuing the trumpet when I was younger. A beautiful instrument with surprising versatility.

[if]

This whole lecture is amazing, talks in depth about the interconnectedness of the American experience and the development of music

[diesturbed]

Ooh wow, that level of expression 😱😱😱. He is like actually mad and yelling.

[dashawnfarrell]

i now have a serious case of permanent stank face

[Elfenastics]

Im amazed by the "Stank" phenomenon. To an untrained ear it sounds so wrong but when you have a good ear or learned about music you can appreciate it to its fullest. Its an Artform in the Art of Jazz itself.

The first time this was ever tried
Musician: " I dunno, this is a crazy idea, but it just sounds so good. I wanna go public with this, but it could end my career, I might be the laughing stock"
Musician's Wife: Well, darling, if you want to have a shot at success, you're just gonna have to take the 'plunge'.
