Haha, I learned that shortly after I commented this because I went on a mad internet hunt for one. Then I felt really dumb not already knowing about soprano trombones, and being a trombonist...crap haha.
Lots of textures can be achieved by use of the tongue and adjusting the embouchure. I play predominantly bass bone and although I've played tenor far longer, find those adjustments far easier on bass bone.
@@HamalonHamilton Nope. Alto trombone is a good bit bigger, and doesn't sound too different from a tenor in terms of color. This is Soprano Trombone/Slide Trumpet, whatever you want to call it. The reason the mouthpiece looks big is because its a custom make "Wybrid".
I may be a little confused, but I don’t fully know what I’m talking about when it comes to this kind of stuff- How is he playing on that small of a trombone with such a large mouthpiece? Don’t those types of trombones usually use trumpet-like mouthpieces? Also, does anybody know the names of the mouth piece and trombone (I believe it’s a soprano trombone) that he uses? I’m very interested😏
@@dawsongreene460 Yes the mouthpiece is made for him, but available for purchase on his website. It's a hybrid or "wybrid" with a trombone rim and trumpet shank.
Wycliffe's own mouthpiece with a trombone rim and trumpet shank. You can purchase on his website. The soprano trombone was made for him. Also available for purchase for the amateur musician at BAC.
Soprano trombone is pitched like a trumpet, so an octave higher than a normal/tenor trombone. However, thus hybrid mouthpiece others talk about gives him added textures blending contrasts of trombone and trumpet.
STEVE LEVELEVE He is a professional jazz trombone player, he obviously knows that. He's going back to 1st to give the note that unique accent in the beginning.
I've been drinking the whole night and just discovered this man on trombone , helped me better than a cold beer.
Wycliffe is one of the most FREE OF LIMITS musicians I know. Wonderful!
One of the best brass player.
Adrian's sax solo is one of my all time favorites. Genius with technique and range. That solo is from his soul, you can feel it. Wycliffe too!
beatiful TS solo, takes his time, nice commping on piano
Nice homage to Bach in the piano solo! Sweet!
Wycliffe Gorgon is hands down the best living trombone player in all styles if not best ever to live. I hope to meet him one day.
Darren Smith I agree that he is, but Mr. Gordon has been awarded best trombone player several times
Bill Watrous tho...
I am a senior in high school and I will be performing WITH him on the 31st of this month!
You will find him quite approachable and easy to talk to.
He cool
i need that mouthpiece!!!!!! this is greatness
I see we have the same taste in music
Suavo Jones it's a Wycliffe Gordon Hybrid, i'm pretty sure
6:44 reminded me Diana Krall's Love me Like a Man, but I LOVED IT! Fantastic version, solos were amazing
This is amazing! Thank-you thank-you thank-you, you lovely people!
You're amazing man! Congratulations from Brazil!!! Love you
Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from Italy .
I hear a lot of Stanley Turintine in Adrian's playing. Awesome
PS like seeing this in Black and white!
Oh My...Juke Joint Blues....Felt this in my soul!
oh right. fair enough. great improv. so inspiring
I love this man.
Ah oui,bien gras le blues,j 'aime!Toute la Nouvelle Orléans est lá!Et moi avec!Embarqué je suis!Quelle invention!!!
Fuckin' Soprano trombone with a God-damn crossover mouthpiece? And he still sounds good? I quit.
esse cara è o melhor que tem
Amazing!
i like wicliffe play the trompette verry nice
6:44 Splanky off the complete atomic Basie quote? it could originate from a standard im not familiar with but thats where i recognize this part from!!
6:44-7:02 Splanky!!!
Fro yes!
That's where I know it from
I was searching through all of my old music folders trying to remember where I knew that riff from

Amazing
the man got chops.
Great video!
The name of the song is "C jam blues" by Duke Ellington :)
nice bach quote on piano!
Go Adrian!
Bach at 4:50
What piece is this?
Miss Mendes Cantata BWV 147 "Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring"
miguelconditioning Thank you!
I'm trying to incorporate that to my solos now ahah Sounds quite nice
OMG a bach invention piece is included in the piano solo! D:
That is some SERIOUS CHOPS!!
Fantastico
this tenor... jesus!
NOW WHERE IN THE HELL DO YOU FIND A TINY TROMBONE
Amazon
From a tiny music store.
Thomas Mann Germany
wow
Maravilha!
10:19 Haha, there's a kid in the background singing "Hi-dee-hi-dee-ho"!
Why does the sound come out like that in the beginning? I've never heard a sound come out of a trombone naturally like that before
He's using the attack of his tongue to accent it that way
Lots of textures can be achieved by use of the tongue and adjusting the embouchure. I play predominantly bass bone and although I've played tenor far longer, find those adjustments far easier on bass bone.
4:52 that Bach chorale yo!
Muito bom! Bach forever
Super!!!
NICE.........................
please tell me someone what kid of mouthpiece is Wycliffe using on trumpet at 01:30 I need one big like this one.
It's a hybrid trumpet/trombone mouthpiece. It has the rim of a trombone mouthpiece with the cup depth of a trumpet mouthpiece.
thx a lot!
That's cool
Who's on bass? He's killin
Супер, браво
indeed it is. its in the title ;)
Mandam muito bem
Well yes it is now. It wasn't when I made the post
I heard a bit of NOLA in that t-bone solo
What kind if modification did he do to that slide trumpet to fit a trombone mouthpiece?
Hybrid mouthpiece by chasons
I know that 3 years passed but this is alto trombone. Not a slide trumpet ✌️
@@HamalonHamilton Nope. Alto trombone is a good bit bigger, and doesn't sound too different from a tenor in terms of color.
This is Soprano Trombone/Slide Trumpet, whatever you want to call it.
The reason the mouthpiece looks big is because its a custom make "Wybrid".

I may be wrong, but I think it's something he had designed for it, and it's a piccolo trombone

I like it im swinging
Who's on tenor?
Bach!!!
3:50
If you are referring to the soprano trombone section i completely agree with you, otherwise i think it was fine.
Great music LoL!!!
Jajaja yeah!!!!
5:18 opus de funk
Omg
WHY IS DIS DUDE GOING BACK IN AFTER EVERY NOT IN THE BEGINNING? Ya know you could just stay at 4th right?
STEVE LEVELEVE He is a professional jazz trombone player, he obviously knows that. He's going back to 1st to give the note that unique accent in the beginning.
It’s for the accent and he starts the note before he’s at 4th so it gives it a jazzy sound
That drummer had no energy for what that sax player was speaking
gimmick slide trumpet
