Incredibly beautiful sound. James Last has worked with top musicians. James Last knew how to make solos sound like hardly anyone. You want to bathe in the sound. James Last Sound is pesie for the soul.
Vive le bugle qui est mon instrument .tu es mort trop jeune ;RIP derek .Les enregistrements sont la heureusement.Tu étais un merveilleux musicien et n'oublions pas les solos de james bond ta marque de fabrique
Yummy. Omg that Flugelhorn - brilliant gentle mellow warm tone. Most trumpeters just attack this song and it ends up just being too harsh. This is like a lullaby. Beautiful artistry and just a master class in the “less is more” philosophy.
Una tromba strepitosa, fantastica. Derek Watkins è un Grande Artista raffinato, elegante, che sa trasmettere dalle sue note quelle "emozioni" che solo i Grandi artisti di livello internazionale sanno fare. Eccellente l'esecuzione e l'interpretazione del brano proposto, che merita un Grande applauso a scena aperta. Bravo, bravo veramente. I miei complimenti. c.castellano,italia A fantastic, fantastic trumpet.

@@dq7143 I am pretty sure James Last adjusted this piece of music to Derek skills... He was not the composer. But he knew, what his musicians loved to play and they loved to show their skills. Also, I believe you need to have a certain age to appreciate this music. I was 21 when this concert took place, and back then I was still playing music by myself, but also had a number of changes in my life. I didn't really pay attention to this kind of music. Nowadays I do.
THIS DEREK WATKINS SUPER SUPERB TRUMPET MUSICIAN AND ENGLISHMAN ! JUST LIKE JAMES LAST ENGLISN / GERMAN ! LUV THIS WITH THE JAMES LAST ORCHESTRA ! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRUMPET SOLO ALONG WITH JAMES LASTS'S ORCHESTRAL BACKGROUND ! ! ! LUV LUV THIS ! EXCELLENT EXTROIDINARY MUSIC !
Simply the greatest flugalhorn/trumpet player I have ever heard. And I've heard all the so-called greats. For beauty, power, control and taste, he is incomparable.
I have been a trumpeter for 51 years. I have never heard of this orchestra or the soloist. I assume they are not American, possibly German? I have to say, after listening to most versions of this song by jazz artists such as Maynard ferguson, doc severinsen, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman, this arrangement was a real breath of fresh air. I have been working on an arrangement for myself to perform this song and the way this song is arranged is exactly how I have been envisioning it. That is, more in line with the way the song was originally composed and arranged. I now will have to do some internet research to find out more about this orchestra and soloist. Thanks for posting.
Bill Smith - Wow, really? You have apparently been far too busy gigging if you have never heard of so great Derek Watkins, may he rest in peace. You have, however, almost certainly heard much of his amazing playing as he was the lead player on every James Bond motion picture from Dr. No to Sky Fall (23) and many other motion pictures. If Derek ever sat 2nd chair, it was certainly not because there was a better player on the band. He was a wonderful talent and great guy. You have never heard of James Last either? You have a lot of catching up to do as you have missed out on so much great music. James Last orchestras have always (and seemingly forever) been world class.
Interesting he is playing WITHOUT a microphone, quite superbly it must be said, but is he actually miming to his own studio recording? This sort of practice was ludicrously prevalent in German TV, sadly.
Yes, this is in the form of a music video for televising purposes, but he did record this all in one take, if I'm not mistaken, so just as impressive! But no, he was not playing where you see him miming.
Yes, that has been said of this song. and then there are also a group of people, myself included, that consider it a masterpiece. Most people that don't like it simply don't understand the lyrics. they think the lyrics are silly and therefore dismiss the song. The lyrics are written in a metaphorical context. However, the composer of this song said that everything in the lyrics are things he actually witnessed as he strolled through MacArthur Park. Whether you like the lyrics or not, putting them aside, the musical composition itself is truly a masterpiece. It's written in the form of a Rhapsody.
That was Dave Barry's opinion, and mainly based on the lyrics. If it was that bad a song, it would never have been arranged and performed by so many leading jazz artists.
Derek Watkins was a world class artist - unparalled!
So truly musical . This is the best version of this tune!
Für mich einer der besten Trompeter der Welt, Ruhe in Frieden Derek. Ein Ton, eine Technik unglaublich.
One of the best trumpet players in the world for me, rest in peace Derek. One tone, one technique unbelievable.
Probably the best trumpet player ever.. I wish I had met him, and i would have told him what an inspiration to me he was.
Great sound !!!
RIP Derek.

There's park in Los Angeles California his music reminds me of being a kid walking during the 84 olimpics macarthur park was the name of the park
My friend Derik in peace I will always love this song
There is nothing more pure than the first 5ish minutes of this. Nothing.
Unglaublich gefühlvolle und hohe Töne von Derek Watkins - fantastisch!
Magnífico trompetista, extraordinarios arreglos del Maestro James Last, hermoso tema. Toda la pieza es una maravilla.
I cry...

Nobody does it better than Derek! RIP Derek.

I would have enjoyed seeing Derek and Doc Severnson play together. What a concert they would have presented!
Impossible trumpeting. Yet Prof Watkins did it! Fortunately recorded for posterity to enjoy. Thank you Last Forever.
The late great Derek Watkins with the late great James Last. Amazing.
very nice sound...awesome
Great 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎶
An absolute treasure

Just perfekt! And what a feeling?
beautiful !
Perfectly played this
Great, great performance...He's playing Bob Coassin's flugelhorn... See at 2.20 lol...Rest in peace Derek.
Futter für die Seele…❤️❤️❤️
Would love to have this available on Spotify. But alas.
beautiful rendition, thank you Derek :)
RIP:
Viewers and listeners may compare it to other trumpeters but this one for me is perfect...sounds so tamed and not boastful playing
For EVER ❤️
spectacular
Brilliant 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺👍👍👍
Derek one of the best...

Maravilloso
Simplemente o melhor!!! Derek The Best !!!
COMO SIEMPRE HERMOSA CANCION EJECUTADO MPOR LA ORQUESTA
Love the solo at 6:17
just your average solo with a double high C. Unreal
The best ever instrumental version
great !!
great tone
Derek Watkins-Unvergessen,!
Geweldig nummer,jammer alle twee zijn er niet meer .gelukkig hun muziek wel.
Chuck : This also feels so good to me.
Just casual clapping, like they CLEARLY have no idea what they've just witnessed.
Skilled trumpet players can appreciate the subtle nuances, level of difficulty, and expertise.

JAMES LAST IS INDEED GERMAN, THE SOLOIST IS BRITISH. UNFORTUNATELY THEY BOTH DIED.

He’s British and played on all the Bond soundtracks. And James Last is legendary.
Partituras !! também pra mim ,, sou pobre nos agudos ,obrigado
His music will live on forever
Wahnsinn wie hoch der kam.
Goddamn Derek... 😭
❤️
Unbelievable.

Beat that!
+Jennifer Guy can't
Two words, Doc Severinsen.
Good Doc reference. But how do you really distinguish between two masters of their instrument?
We still don't know the cake is?
O musicista . . .
Brilliant! Is this version available on CD or LP?
Unfortunately not, there's a studio version but without Derek playing and one live version with Derek on the Berlin Concert album.
Nobody does it better than Derek! RIP Derek.
@@lastforeverlast01 do you know where this was filmed?
Qualcuno sa dove si può trovare la base di questo brano??
Where was this performed at?
Worldclass

Herr E. Gunsch Wetterbericht
Interesting he is playing WITHOUT a microphone, quite superbly it must be said, but is he actually miming to his own studio recording? This sort of practice was ludicrously prevalent in German TV, sadly.
his wife said he always would play along
Not sure if serious.....
Yes, this is in the form of a music video for televising purposes, but he did record this all in one take, if I'm not mistaken, so just as impressive! But no, he was not playing where you see him miming.
It‘s very obvious especially from the reverb of the strings that this was definitely not recorded live outdoors.
This was voted worst song to ever exist look it up
Yes, that has been said of this song. and then there are also a group of people, myself included, that consider it a masterpiece. Most people that don't like it simply don't understand the lyrics. they think the lyrics are silly and therefore dismiss the song. The lyrics are written in a metaphorical context.
