Thanks for all the comments everybody! I've got a little announcement now that I'll drop here- I'm working on a new Upper Register Trumpet Course for 2021! Fact Check: TRUE. Click here to get info about the course and when it will launch. Thanks for being so dedicated to watching my videos everybody. My goal for this course is to pull as many players up into the stratosphere as possible. Double C's for everyone!🎺🔥🔥🔥 www.learnleadtrumpet.com/the-power-player-trumpet-course/
Good question Jordan, that's a really tough question because there are so many good ones! I personally favor- MacArthur Park, Gospel John, Pagliacci, Maria... I like a lot of his earlier music from when he was young. What's your favorite song Jordan?
@@trumpetjordy I would have to agree with you that there are so many good ones! My favorites would have to be Birdland, Sesame Street, and the Star Wars Theme.
That’s a great idea Cliff! Such a great tune, under rated imo, hey I’m going to start working on Pag even if I don’t record it this week, in the meantime let’s get our butts to the poles!😂🤣
good question~ the best lead piece for you is the one that fits YOU personally. Not the one that fit's Bobby Shew or Wayne, the one that is a tight fit for you but leaves just enough room for the chops to vibrate. This will seem counter intuitive, but the first thing you can do is make a test for yourself and figure out the piece that fits you best among your existing collection. You can make a test, playing a simple song on each piece, very quietly, quietly so that you can determine which piece gives you the most crisp, clear articulations. The piece that best gives you a crisp clear articulation in the low and middle registers (no air before the note, no passive air in the sound) will be the best piece for you. Then if you're really serious, you can do a play test on a few GR mouthpieces around the same size. GR makes the best mouthpieces out there. State of the art. I don't even like to touch other non GR pieces anymore Lol!
GR does make fine products but as per your own advice, they won't be the best fit for everyone. I have had a slug of GR models in various sizes and configurations but right now get my best results using Stork models.
Enjoy the vid of course but I've got one question for you guys- what song should I do next? Comment below👇👇👇

Your playing is great!
Your final note from 3:59 through 4:01 is a truly great high note. Nice full tone.
I appreciate it! sometimes 2 seconds can feel like to hours Lol!
yay! :)
What's your favorite Ferguson song on one of his albums?

Hi Jordan great sound! Which trumpet do you play? 👍🏻
Hi Chris! I actually play a Callet Studio Artist trumpet, it really helps those high notes! great intonation in the upper register
where are you from Chris?
@@trumpetjordy I'm from Italy
@@trumpetjordy do you like italian music?
@@trumpetjordy I meant italian classical music and songs written by Ennio Morricone?
Saw the MF band in Orlando’80 and New London ‘83 . Check out Left Bank Express from Live at Jimmy.s
I’m. So. Jealous. That’s awesome! I’ll check it out
You sound great Jordan! I would love to hear Pagliacci!
That’s a great idea Cliff! Such a great tune, under rated imo, hey I’m going to start working on Pag even if I don’t record it this week, in the meantime let’s get our butts to the poles!😂🤣
Hi Jordan, I cast my vote for a great America last week🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
I don’t know Cliff, maybe I want the dark dreary less then great America this time🤣😂🤣
Could you suggest me a good mouthpiece for high notes?

Have you ever thought about trying the GR equivalent of the Stork piece that best fits you? Might be worth giving a try
