- From the 2000 CD Rocket Man: In Memory of Bud Brisbois (1937-1978)
This is truly from Bud's last performance ever in late May just weeks before he take his own life. Listening to this last tune he done alive made me realize what it been like if he was still here today. After some years of researching, studying and learning more all about him, I feel he didn't get the recognition or the acknowledgement he deserved. On here he doubles on B-flat Trumpet and Piccolo trumpet alongside with the Lawrence University Orchestra and the group he was working on to join at that time Matrix. To those familiar with the original by Gino Vannelli done in 1975 from the album "Storm at Sunup", this would cheer you up and change your life completely. To add, Buddy Brisbois reminded me much of soul sensation Donny Hathaway a bit. The way his playing, his range, his embourchure is real magic all inside! No question about it.

Magnificent performance 👏 by Bud and the entire orchestra! May Bud's Spirit rest peacefully 🙏 knowing what a gift his talents were to the world 🌎 Most respectfully ..Vaughn 🎺
Bud struggled with manic depression his entire life. I wish I could have known him because I loved him. This performance was obviously at an extreme low in his life because he struggled through this. The high notes were always there even though he adjusted for them but his low register was not happening at all
What a great man to have endured it all. We can only imagine what he would have played like today had he not taken his own life.
Bud was Amazing talented trumpeter, i will remember him always.
I was a student at Lawrence, playing bari sax at this performance (kudo's to Fred Strum's great arrangement!) and remember pestering Bud about how he did the amazing things that he did. (I also played trumpet). His suicide completely stunned everyone of us. We all felt so guilty as he had talked about a come back, had really hit it off with the guys in Matrix, really seemed to have a whole lot of positive energy moving forward. So sad. The lyrics of the song were so cutting: "...reaching dimensions that shatter conventions, lead me to feel I'm growing old... too soon...".
oh wow...such an amazing story
The orchestra sounds fabulous, and Fred Sturm was a great, GREAT writer (and, I'm proud to say, a wonderful friend). What a great memory this must be for you.
great story....it's hard to see his tragedy come to an end after this final performance recorded live. Imagine had he lived he'll right on top of his game now and still be doin' the damn thing. He remains one of my favorites ever!
Brisbois liked to practice next to a bed. When asked why he did this he replied "it gives me something soft to fall on when I pass out". The artist worked at his craft.
Holton actually made and marketed a Bud Brisbois model trumpet.
From what I understand Bud had stopped playing around 1975 and was trying to come back around the time this was recorded. What many consider his best work was from the late 1950's until 1975.I still appreciate his effort there are only a handful of people that would of even tried to tackle this arrangement in 1978.
Good word from you man!
+wantmyGen4towork1 I have a Holton Brisbois :) Big trumpet - will suck the life out of you! :)
Amazing trumpeter
@yourbrassinstructor For sure on that one man! I agree with you 100%.
For sure man! I agree with you.
Very true!
wow! imagine bud playin @his prime
@britrpt57 I was thinking on that too. He was still a work in progress even you listen to the last 3 tracks from the Rocket Man CD he done in the last year of his life, you can tell the difference. Greatly miss the man and his genius. Now we realize today there is help out there to those struggling w/ depression and other sources in life.
Wow that's tough. It makes me appreciate Maurice Andre all the more with his recordings on pic.
@TheJacksonglenn Great point man!
Reminds me a little bit of both, Herb Alpert & Chuck Mangione.
Looks like a Holton (pardon me I know... I am a geerhead) anyone know?
It was the ST 200 www.ebay.com/itm/Holton-ST-200-Bud-Brisbois-Trumpet-Large-Bore-Vintage-/322848652563
Just marvelous and what a waste too. .. . .Booze. . . . . .what a waste
+Gene Bensen Not sure so much booze as Bipolar disorder. Wreaked havoc on him...
Bud was great but to say he'd "bury" these guys? Bury them in what area? Playing musical, swinging lead? I don't think so, although he was obviously an excellent lead player. Bury them as soloists? No way - Bud was basically a high-note soloist and couldn't play changes. Bury them in terms of cranking out demanding, challenging passages day in and day out? Equal them, for sure, but not "bury" them, unless you're talking about special, extreme high note parts.
This is NOT a knock on Bud.
Ma come si fa a rovinare delle melodie in stile Barocco?
Solo fischi e nient'altro.
