I don’t hear enough of Mr Faddis. I don’t play trumpet, but the few times I’ve heard Mr Faddis on KCSM, I’ve enjoyed his sound. I will have to research what is available and listen to more of his art.
Faddis is also one of my heroes next to Dizzy Gillespie and Louis Armstrong, and now I read he's from HERE in California? Wow.......when he was busy making "Up in the FAddisphere" I was working for a bus company providing transport from the Disneyland and Grand hotels to the airports. I was a ticket agent and often brought my horn into the ticket booth to practice whatever routine items I'd missed at home....on a mute of course. Wouldn't loved lessons from this talented performer not just about high notes but about the jazz ideas. Would love to meet Mr. Faddis some day.
@yourbrassinstructor Trust me man he's definitely not racist. When I first met him it was at a dinner with a jazz band that was entirely white and he was havin a ball with them all. Who knows why de didn't name them. He has a very specific style that a lot of the players you named, as amazing as they are, don't really fall into so maybe he wasn't heavily influenced by them. Again, who knows. Either way, he's a great guy as long as you can deal with an extremely dry sense of humor haha
@yourbrassinstructor I really hope you're kidding. He isn't a racist or anything like that at all. He's open to anything man. I know him personally, actually I talked to him earlier tonight, so I'm not talking out of my rear end here. Not to mention jazz was a predominantly black art form back in the time frame he's referring to. By the way, Bix Beiderbecke was white.
You need to chill out man. I had the honor of working with Jon for a week a few years ago and he is the farthest thing from a racist in the world. I'm a half Asian, half white trumpet player and he was incredibly supportive of me and my music and even let me trade with him on almost every tune we played the night of the concert. Why get defensive about it? I'm not black but I have absolutely NO problem with the fact that jazz is first and foremost a black music.
world class in every way top trumpet top man I love the man.many thanks.

... and he look to the American tourist, and says: "no!" :-)
JazzAscona. What is the fun except for the picture in My head?
I didn't get the "joke"
Kurt is well known troll.
He forgot -Miles- and Chet.
why would he ommit miles when listing all those great trumpet players?
I'm sure it wasn't on purpose.
what happened to your lips?
he used method arm-strong.
For me Jon Faddis you are the best
Bix was not black
No they're not!! Bix Beiderbecke's not black!! (1:37)
All the trumpet players he listed were all black.
Not true. He listed Bix and Red Rodney
