World Series Trumpeter?

[DantePug]

Wow! Who was that?

[David Griffin]

I forgot his name but I confirmed with Roy Lawler that he was playing a
Lawler STS ( screw bell).

Should stick to commercial style trumpet playing which he is great at. He was
obviously out of his element. Nice sound but played a grace note on every
initial attack in order not to crack. Was it that cold in the stadium last
night?

Hey Yankees; there are a a few guys in NYC that CAN tongue cleanly. Try them
next time. BTW try to find somebody that can hit a big left-hander too.

And just how would you approach playing acapella in a packed stadium for
game 7 of the World Series?

Actually, I (Roy) spoke too soon. It was a Stomvi, not a Lawler.

I agree Chris... I think it was quite tasteful and well done, whether
he's (McGuire) a jazz cat or legit. Hey, it was great-- a trumpet
player playing solo in game 7 of the World Series right there in front
of God and everybody. COOL!!!

He played in Tower of Power - end of story (for me :-)

Several of my trumpet students came in today asking if I watched the World
Series. I missed it just like I missed who he was earlier on this thread. Who
was he? My students liked it. Bill

Nice sound after the attack though.

People rip Voisin for the same vibrato.

The same way I approached playing Brahms 2 for Muti

Lawler? His web site says he plays a Virtu gold plated Chicago
Revisited--Jesse McGuire trumpet. It also details everything else he
uses, from mouthpieces to chewing gum (pretty funny).

First I'd have a large beer and maybe a second one, then have at it.

[Eric Bolvin]

First of all the game was in Phoenix. Just because he didn't have perfect
attacks like Herseth doesn't make him out of his element.
When he took the SSB up to a nice fat G and held it for twelve beats, the
last thing on my mind was ta-tas.

His playing distracted you from your double-tonguing exercises, eh?

[PETER J GREEN]

> Wow! Who was that?

That was Jesse McGuire from Phoenix AZ. Jesse has played lead in the
Lincoln Center band with Wynton as well as being the "secret weapon" with
Tower of Power (you can check him out on their double CD live album).
Monster chops, nice guy. He is currently playing with local (and Home
Shopping Network) guitarist Esteban. He has a book available, about as
thick as the Arban but printed single sided on card stock. The book is a
good read, with lots of anecdotes. Not much in the way of how to play the
way he does. After all, what's he going to say: "in order to play high, get
the double C going by age 16, then progress from there"? Some people have
the physical makeup to have that ability (whether they develop that ability
or not is of course a different story).

I did not hear the World Series performance, but I have heard his solos on the
TOP live album. Pretty awful, in my opinion.

Just goes to show, different strokes.........

[Scott Humphries]

yea the lead spot in 98 was either him or Steve Patrick, they were both
offered the spot, but steve pulled out b/c his wife was pregnant and didnt
want to move.
Steve went to Indiana Univ. toured with Maynard for a while, did lots of
stuff. Pretty well known here on the east side, he currently does studio
work in and around Nashville, TN

I like to think about ta-tas.....:) sorry, couldn't help it.

From what I heard this guy had zero attacks.

Sadly, I have to agree. I think his tone is horrible. I was not impressed.

clink, clink

Scott

[Brian Moon]

Are you talking about the TOP album or the world series?

What didn't you like about his tone? I have only heard him at the series
where I thought that it was a good sound. I just didn't care for his style.

I also heard him on HSN(or was it QVC?) playing with Esteban and I thought
that he sounded great there.

[John Leighton]

Are you kidding Scott?? That fat G was great. Maybe it had to do with the
sound system. The crowd loved him though. They went nuts.

Just another opinion.... :)

I just didn't care for his style.

His tone is horrrible on the TOP album.. Very strange vibrato. And as for the
World series clip.......too many grace notes, sounded very JR High-ish.

Again, these are my opinions.

[SchilkeMan]

I was referring to the TOP album...Not the big fat G

[Greeebo]

Since "a cappella" means singing without
instruments, I would not even attempt to
play a cappella. You can't play a cappella
on a trumpet. It would be like playing
senza sordino with a mute.

[Greeebo]

Accoring to Mimi Castillo, and Iron Mike Bogart as well,
Mike was the second choice when Jesse got the gig. When
Jesse left the band, Mimi and Doc did not care to hold
auditions at that point, so they just called Mike. The
fact that he had brought a valve trombone to the audition
was a plus.

Jesse has very impressive power and high-note abilities,
but it gets tiresome pretty quick. Good for impressing
high-school trumpeters with his strength, but TOP has
always been about the section more than the soloiost.

Screaming nothing but high notes really limits your
repertoire. And I really can't understand how he plays
with gum in his mouth. He never plays without his
chewing gum.

As much as I hate his sound, it can be good for special
effects and show-biz moments. SSB deserves a bit more
respect in my opinion. But Jesse has been specializing
in playing it at sporting events for many years. Like
all those Easter services with Purcell, it can be good
money for playing just one tune (but Jesse can stick
around for another one in the 7th inning stretch).

[Chris Kemp]

According to my copy of the Oxford dictionary, a cappella means
unaccompanied. If it makes you feel better I will apologize for misspelling
it in my original post :)

Don't know if Oxford was a trumpet player, but the Harvard Dictionary of
Music states that Cappella means:

Chapel: a cappella (in the manner of a chapel), pertains to choral music
without instrumental accompaniment.

I hope this helps.

Yeah....If you play a musical instrument without

applies to singing....

Actually, you are playing "unaccompanied". That is the term we used when we
revised the Indiana state contest solo lists for high school students.

I have to agree, since a solo may ( or usually) have a background
instrumentation.

[William Graham]

Then I guess there isn't any slang term for it, since
unaccompanied and without accompaniment are really the same
thing.....

After years of accepting the traditional definition of "a capella,"
experience has convinced me that "a capella" is actually Latin for "off
key!" (ha ha)

perhaps 'in many keys'?
