Al Hirt - Fly Me To The Moon

[EricJamesHanson]

another gem from one of my favorite albums of all time...big Al was on top of things at this time, making network TV appearances all over the place. this was back when such excellence was understood.

[pankfan]

Simply one of his all-time finest recordings.

The richest, warmest sound that's ever been put through the bell of a trumpet. Simply the purest trumpet ever!

[xXxMRiNSANExXx]

Wow! I mean, This is one of my biggest inspirations to want to play the trumpet. So I bought one! Hope to get as good as this talented Man. One day!  :'D 

[leeadams]

Love Al and his big Bright sound similar to Harry James! Like a trumpet is supposed to sound!

[robertobressanin]

Daddy often listened this hit keeping me on his knees, so many years ago. It drives me sad but I can't help now to listen it to call him back in my mind.

[HutchBMW]

Al's interpretation and phrasing have never been matched.

The "Honey in the Horn" album, with the Anita Kerr singers in the backround, this album was pure GOLD!

[michaelfleming]

I first heard of Al Hirt in 1967 when my uncle from Indiana introduced me to him by playing his music on a reel to reel tape recorder. I started taking trumpet lessons during the Fall Semester of 1970 when I was in the 4th grade.

[rickdaniel]

I had forgotten what a fat, rich, and clear sound he had,

[guillermomurillo]

Es una pieza magistral y la interpretación inspira mi alma, muchas

[conradoalpiano]

Nací en un pueblíto llamado Turbaco, en el departamento de Bolívar, en Colombia. Teníamos un tocadiscos Philips y mi papá ponía todas las noches este LP y yo se lo hacía repetir por ambos lados varias veces hasta quedarme dormido. Hoy, 55 años después, al escucharlo, se me salen las lagrimas recordando al padre más amoroso del mundo.

[ericheine]

Al Hirt, Herb Albert, for my 7th birthday I asked for trumpet.
Didn't get one.

[JAZZBATA]

THE BEST IMPROVISATION NEVER HEARD ! 1000%

[dilonnajjar]

Is their sheet music to this because I want to play it

[woodygray]

I marvel at his ability to make a jet tone sing like that. Incomparable!

[gustavodubon]

Tremendo trompetista de los mejores de todos los tiempos.

[hobiedog]

[rickborbons]
