@@dylanq1871I was in college band with the tuba player in this group. He spent a year at our university. I'd never heard a tuba play Flight of the Bumblebee before Daryl did it. He was THAT good. And he was a great guy.
Humbling. I played trumpet throughout high school and was first trumpet in marching band, stage band, and jazz band, including soloing in jazz band. I was not as good as either of the two trumpet players highlighted. It was the big fish in the little pond thing. I was the big fish, but in a little pond. Put me in a lake and I'd be an average size fish. Put me in the sea and I'd be a small fish. These high schoolers are the big fish.
This video is why I grabbed you at Berklee when I heard you practicing some 40 years ago and recommended you to all the best ensemble teachers and later to Buddy Rich to replace me. Wow, Chris Botti. pre Sting-a-like, on the jazz chair, he actually played the jazz chair on Buddy's band for a couple weeks while we backed Frank Sinatra at the Pacific Amphitheatre in L.A. in December of 1984! Paul Phillips quit the tour in Europe so when we got back to the US we needed a jazz trumpet player and Chris was highly recommended by some of the Indiana University guys on the band. I let him play a couple of the background muted solos, a couple of years later, he starts to get famous and goes on all the TV talk shows, telling everyone how much Frank loved him and would look back at him and gesture at him on the written chromatic Harmon mute solo at the end of "Come Rain or Come Shine." Sorry to break your bubble Chris, he did the same with me for another 7 years that followed, he also did it before and after me for; Charlie Turner, Tommy Porello, Buddy Childers, Walt Johnson. it was a "showbiz bit," nothing more! The irony, I got the gig with Frank, which was often lead and jazz trumpet, in January 1985, 2 weeks after Chris' "Big Moment," with Frank, Chris got more famous! Oh well, good for him, he plays well, I just didn't like him making much more of that "bit" than there really was to it, ego check Chris! Years later, I played on a "Rainforest Foundation benefit" Sting's wife, Trudy Styler, held in NYC's Radio City Music Hall, oddly enough paying homage to Frank Sinatra, I didn't go telling everyone afterwords; "I played with Sting," until I saw Chris running his mouth about his very limited time as Buddy's jazz trumpeter, to quote Buddy; "2 weeks time," exactly! In general, even if you did the gig, it's not yours to brag about, until it's actually your gig, That's why I didn't tell anyone I was Frank Sinatra's lead player, until I did gigs where I was paid by his accountant Nathan Golden from January of 1985 on. The year with Buddy Rich (1984) backing Frank all over the U.S. and Europe though great, I considered myself as being Buddy Rich's Lead Player only, even though I played hundreds of shows on lead for both acts (Buddy Rich and Frank Sinatra), )back to back that year. I was hoping since he was no longer using Charlie Turner, that I might become Frank Sinatra's lead player. I also played lead many times with; Tony Bennett, Mel Tormé, Ella Fitzgerald, Steve and Eydie, Liza Minelli and many other "big names" in the music business, but even though I was working for Liza, I was subbing for her marvelous lead player, Dave Stahl. I didn't go saying, Oh wow, "Liza looked at me!" It's what for some time the West Coast players would call J I V positive, jive ass BS, in short, uncool behavior! The interesting thing is, even though I was Frank's lead trumpet player, the claim could be equally shared with Tommy Porello, Buddy Childers and Walt Johnson who played for Frank in Las Vegas and L.A. respectively, before Me ave Stahl and Charlie Turner and of course all those greats who recorded with him in the studios, like Conrad Gozzo, some players did both, apologies if I missed any names! I'm very happy things turned out so well for you Eric, you're truly one of the all time greats! Wonderful lead, jazz, classical, writing, arranging and human being!. Bravo! I hope we get a chance to work together when COVID-19 is eradicated. Sorry about my vent on Chris, it's been bothering me for some time, perhaps a bit of bad form sour grapes on my part. I figured he was already doing well, why did he have to stretch the truth so far, I wouldn't do something like that, but I guess that's what made him the success he is, I prefer to see someone make it on their merits, like you! No hype, all pure music!
Interesting story line with a bit of "sour grapes" thrown in. Some great players names linked with Buddy and Frank. I think Eric haS DONE VERY WELL FOR HIMSELF. LOTS OF great things with students in the Toyko school area. Super writer. Chris Botti has made a big name for himself also. I don't begrudge him that-all players of that ilk appreciate a compliment from legends they have worked for.
How many lead trumpet players does it take to change a light bulb? 11. 1 to hold the light bulb while the world revolves around them and 10 others saying "That was nice, but I could do it better." Botti is holding the bulb, you're not. Too bad you couldn't let go of whatever is bugging you because all you real players with actual talent do or did what us hacks only dreamt about doing. Even a hack like me shared the stage with Ella, Chuck, Al. They all had their charitable moments. I do miss the McDonalds All American Band and the jazz group was a subset of that group, from what I remember.
@ Harrison Reed & @Daniel Peterson No, sounds like Chris was taking a bit more credit for his brief moment with Frank Sinatra as a sub on 4th trumpet with Buddy Rich's Band! I didn't dis Chris Botti,'s playing, he's a fine musician, showman & businessman, but I actually thought it was low class of him to exaggerate what was pretty much a non event, on national TV and to me, he came off as the braggart at the time at my expense! If it happened to you, perhaps you'd feel slighted too, perhaps not. I don't ever need to put someone down to build myself up and I'm my own harshest critic with many shortcomings as a player and perhaps as a human, too. Nonetheless, if you doubt my abilities on the trumpet, please check out a few clips here on TH-cam and judge for yourself. Please check my reputation as a player in NYC and I believe you'll find I've never done anything to negatively effect another musicians career and have never taken as much as a single gig away from anyone! P.S.; If I were such a braggart, you would have heard about me long before now, so spin that, while you spin your lightbulb! Some links to my "bragging" ; th-cam.com/video/ivUHgUcJZUo/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/2kyKTH6lZN4/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/4zN-1DR089M/w-d-xo.html and more recently subbing on the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra in 2019 for the amazing lead trumpeter Frank Greene. P.S. It's his gig, not mine! th-cam.com/video/zhn-fT_tNQ0/w-d-xo.html/ No I'm not God's gift to the horn and never claimed to be! I can certainly play it though!
@@braintreecat No sour grapes about Eric, we are dear friends and he earned his way by playing great! Not mad at Chris anymore, but was back when he was playing the Sinatra card strongly when he was doing the talk show circuit back as he was getting popular. He's a great businessman and used his networking skills to the max and never did an unkind thing to any trumpet player while he was part of the NYC studio scene, he just plain outsmarted and marketed himself better than everyone else! Can't fault him for that! He plays great, is a quite capable songwriter and arranger, so kudos to him! I've had a fine career, so I can't complain as I didn't have the all of the talents he used to get where he is today. He did some nice recording work with Doc Severinsen recently and showed Doc the respect he deserved, so perhaps he's matured into a fine person.
i asked don braden this question and he replied telling me that they didnt get any but got a bunch of free mcdonalds merch made specifically for them and to meet a bunch of famous jazz players like maynard ferguson
Fantastic, thank you very much for this great sounds ❣️. For this spicy music I would like to recommend the competing product, the Extra Long Chili Cheese Burger, baked by BurgerKing. My God, you were a strong group ❣️. A real cohort (social science) of natural talents. 素晴らしい、この素晴らしい音をありがとう❣️。 このスパイシーな音楽には、BurgerKingが焼き上げた競合製品のExtra Long Chili CheeseBurgerをお勧めします。 私の神よ、あなたは強いグループでした❣️。 自然の才能の本当のコホート（社会科学）。
Oh my goodness! Imagine surfing around TH-cam and seeing a video of yourself playing 43 years ago. That's a 17-year old me on the drums!!❤❤❤
Nah fr? I’ve been watching this on the daily for like a year. That’s sick man
Im hyped by the fact that McDonald’s had a Highschool jazz band. To me thats pretty awesome
@@dylanq1871 thats why I said had

エリックさんはやはり天才ですね。トランペットを吹くために生まれてきた人としか思えない。
しかしこれが高校生バンドとは驚きです。
日本の高校生バンドはクラシック奏法的な吹奏楽が主体ですから、こんなハイレベルな高校生ジャズバンドは日本ではお目にかかれないでしょうね。

Nobody mentioned that this was Live on air at 7am in the morning…
Pretty cool to see young Don Braden, Chris Botti, and Eric! Bob Curnow made a lot of good things happen for many people!

Sounds like you are the braggart. And your smack talking Chris Botti is very low class to say the least.😠

at 0:46 I wasn't feeling that guitar solo.
me too bro, it sounded completely out of context but in a bad way.
I think he was playing a completely different piece
高校生の時の貴重なビデオですね。 最初アメリカのプロのバンドと勘違いしました。 驚異的な上手さですね。
saxyuu 2ndにはChris Bottiが…😁
my HS band director nominated me for this when i was a junior in 1980
凄いですね～
Wow! My high school classmate, Mark Nakamura, is in the trombone section!
First thing I thought of is that he has a killer stache 🔥

That is some high-noter! Respect!
Good performance 👍🐬

Gutiarist: nah im doing D penatatonic
Wow amazing, Eric, I thing your inspiration on trumpet with this monster high notes of a virtuoso kid on the brass is from Maynard Ferguson
Bob Curnow is a great musical director and maestro of jazz
Excellent!
Got to meet Don Braden at a jazz masterclass, he was a fun person and a phenomenal sax player
How many BigMacs this band receive?
Not enough damnit!
i asked don braden this question and he replied telling me that they didnt get any but got a bunch of free mcdonalds merch made specifically for them and to meet a bunch of famous jazz players like maynard ferguson
Excellent music. Thanks

素晴らしい
Did that guitarist know what was going on?
man idk why it sounded that bad tbh, really weird place in the song
Not even close to the key
He’s in the wrong key 😂
Oh what I thought this was a commercial for McDonald’s or something
これ、マッククルーが吹いてるんですか？制服が明らかにそれです
協賛かな❔
4:15からの曲はなんですか？
Stan KentonのArtistry Jumpsかと思います
トランペットのクリスボッティさんは、あのクリスボッティさんの若かりし頃ですか？
調べたらエリックさんと同い年みたいなので、ほぼ確実です！ハイスクール時代からオーラあるソロですね
クリスボッティいるっていうのもおもしろい。
weird to know that all these people are prob in their 60s now
見たことないところがある。
綺麗にカットされてたのか？
