What a revelation! I didn't know of Derek Watkins. He is so musical and plays tricky fills with such ease. I can't stop listening to his Macarthur Park. He is simply the finest trumpet player I have ever heard.
Amongst other things , you've heard him on every one of the James Bond films except for the last one. One of the world's best lead players and Jazz soloist too.
@@JulianDiaz-Tpt given that the first James Bond film was in 1962 and the second most recent in 2015 (a span of 53 years) I find that to be impossible.
@brians9508 Derek played on every Bond Movie soundtrack from Dr No, he was just 17 then, through to Skyfall in 2012, he was quite unwell when he did Skyfall and passed away in 2013. th-cam.com/video/nCh9W1_ougE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SuSS6eV1XWfKRTg5
For me, these was Derek’s quintessential performance. He is and always be an icon to be held up as one of the leading lights among all trumpet players!
It would have been very instructive to have heard Dutch virtuoso, the late Ack van Rooyen, play this arrangement: in dynamics, phrasing and sheer facility on the fluegel horn, his musicianship was legendary. As the wonderful Derek Watkin himself, well knew !

I heard him do this live in my younger years in Ahoy (Netherlands). Incredible and a trumpet hero for life.
I was so lucky to have heard Derek live on many occasions
I envy!
👑JAMES & Derek 🎺 💎Music🎼diamonds 💎 vraiment magnifique 💎
Derek Watkins the best ever.
... genau, das war eines dieser Konzerte, wo James Last mit vier Posaunen auftrat.
Bleibt ein Rätsel für mich wie man das so hinbekommt, genial!
R.I.P. Great Maestro Derek!!!
This is music!!! ❤❤❤
Derek Watkins, zauberhaft. Wenn man ihn McArthur Park spielen hörte, konnte man
fast dahinschmelzen. Unerreicht in der James Last Version.

James Last R.I.P.
Fantastic.
Einfach nur genial
Grandioso ❤!
Derek tu étais un phénomène de la trompette comme maurice andré qui te dépassait dans le suraigu mais c'était une exceptionRIP les deux phénomènes
Magic
Grande, Grande!!!!
Definitive and imho an unsurpassable performance.
Silky smooth!
Supeeeeerrrr
Why isn't this guy famous?
He was one of the world's best lead players and jazz soloists. He played with everyone and countless films, not to mention all of the Bond films.
Because he is dead.
He never dated a Kardashian.
Still only 28 comments. Tells you all you need to know sadly.
@@phillipecook3227 Quality not quantity!! Never follow the crowd, they're usually wrong.
Nun sitzt Hansi neben Derek auf einer Wolke.
In Ost-Berlin gab es keinen Sportpalast, das Konzert fand im Palast der Republik statt
Bei diesen Klängen konnte man schon mal Zweifel am Sozialismus bekommen!
Wow this is very good, I watched a different video of him on this song that was much better.
lighting crew got a little over-eager!
