Special thanks to Nico Sabatini for engineering the guitar session in his studio.
THe only reason it looks so effortless is because he's so efficient as using his air, and he's likely worked his tailend off to get where he is. Gorgeous playing!
the reason it looks so effortless when he plays is because it is effortless. he has developed a way of playing that is effortless.
@@ryangreenberg1194 Yes obviously but it is efforless because he is efficient with the airstream.
Tried to play effortlessly and dropped my trumpet.
@@Darlexis LOL same here!
@@ryangreenberg1194 there is effort... I’ve known personally a few wünder-players, and if they tell you there’s “no pressure”/“effortlessness”, they’re lying, or joking with you. “The trumpet charges daily” for good abilities on it, Dizzy Gillespie said that in an interview.
The truth of the matter is that there is basically no inefficiency or “strain” in his playing, his technique is so extremely developed, and his gear is meticulously balanced with exacting specifications to how and what he plays. He is patently NOT playing a “stock” Bach horn, nor are the exact mouthpiece specs he uses public info or available. Sure, you can buy his GR Signature mouthpiece, but is that likely the exact same dimensions as the pieces he uses... for some reason, I’m doubtful! ;) Think you can get the exact same Bach horn setup he’s using... Dream on! :) Amd even if you did, you’re not him, so while his setup might be useable, you’ll likely not be able to do with it what he can.
A “high” C for Louis is not a “high” note at all... moreover, likely feels as easy to him as a “middle” C or G feels for other players. He truly is playing “effortlessly” till he’s playing at least an octave higher than most other players can. :D
He’s NEVER playing at the thresholds of his chops, because he doesn’t overblow, likely never goes over 75-80% max volume on a gig, he’s usually on a mic, he rarely uses mutes. He doesn’t hurt himself to play any of his notes, he’s built himself up on rock solid fundamentals and had a great upbringing into the scene, I’m sure he’s played amazing jobs with great musicians, has had lessons and hangs with many the world’s top jazz and commercial players, and makes friends with musicians who are similarly obsessed with making great music.
I’m a decently skilled professional player, and I feel I start to “work” around high Bb-high C. I top out at a finessed “high” (double) G, occasionally “reaching” with some strain for an Ab now and then. I have no more than a few of those in the tank each day, on an average day. I am pretty much hurting myself a little every time I play one. So I try to save them. I rarely gig with regularity, and I’m often not in top chop shape, but always try to play as if I am.
Louis’ technique, gear setup, and efficiency likely allows him not only an octave (or more) above that,and with a better sound(!), but he could play well into the double range on every tune of any 1-4 hour gig.
My congratulation to Louis, thank you for being so damn good at what you do, relieving the pressure on us “mere mortal” players of having to do these things! You’re sharing your virtuosity and kind spirit with many people, and inspiring my generation and those coming up to play the world’s most difficult and treacherous instrument.
That 1st trumpet - amazing! Looks like he was playing trumpet before he learned to breathe! But not just him - what an amazingly talented group of musicians all around! Loved this performance!
It's unfair how easy he makes it sound haha
ikr
Cool to see you here!
:D
I know how it feels... I play the french horn, and when I hear a really good french horn cover on youtube, I wish I could play that good...
YOOOO, I live on your channel, and yeah.... His face never moves from that *I don't give a fuck* look, except for this one, this one was SOOO high, like holy cow
1:57
"Wonder where I left my wallet... maybe in my car?"
This deserves so many likes lol
I love this comment
Vexurath LMAO
Hahahahaha lol yeeeesssss!!!!
Phahahahaha
If this guys stuff was on Spotify I don’t think I would listen to anything else
It is (if you were still wondering)
@@Zendii Depends what country you're in
@@adamcook2910 Oh, really? I didn't know that Spotify was like that, especially for very inoffensive songs such as this.
It is
I don’t think anybody makes it look as effortless as this guy does.
Dude, no joke, your sound on the flugelhorn is just, idk..... THE BEST I’VE EVER FFFFFFRREAKING HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they make a live action Hercules this needs to be a part of the soundtrack
Beautiful interpretation and performance. I recognized that little "MacArthur Park" quote in the middle of the piece (yes, I used to be a Maynard Ferguson fan!) Great job on the high notes too!
Used to be, Maynard is and will forever be the GOAT in my eyes
@@need_more_time1119 MF was a virtuoso, no doubt about it. He was born in Verdun, just a 15 minute drive from where I live here in Montreal. I saw him perform live here way back in the 80s. What a performance!
I thought I recognized that lick somewhere 😂
It's in the original Disney song. He was't quoting Maynard.
3:20 - basically the same as the ending of O Holy night in a similar figure. I love it.
3:51 2nd bone pitch adjustment. love it!
I love your ability to play lyrical as well as open up when needed. Very nice.
+The Blue Devil From Heaven LOL
+Matthew Taylor Knew you'd find this sooner or later
Yeah True
Thanks CZcams for bringing me back to this gem
same here
you're seriously a god
Jason Yang Zeus is his father?!
Don't give him any ideas.
@@callumaumusic Lol
@@callumaumusic Are you the trombone guy?
alBerTo//// TV yes he is, he also freaking composed all of Louis's songs
I always find myself back at this video
Thank you for this Louis… when you released this it was my motivating song… before a test, even before a workout. Even now that I am an adult now I still listen to this before job interviews or even when I’m just having a down day.
Wow, Louis. It has been such a pleasure to see you mature as a musician over the years, from the young kid playing (very well!) over Maynard/Waynard recordings to the tasteful, well-conceived things we see here. Beautiful music, and great video production concept! A true joy in every way!
is there a video of him playing as a kid ?
look back through his channel
3:54 when you can't find the note (trombone)
man this is superflouss!!! of course you can go the distance!!! WE ALSO WILL!
Checking in 6 years later. Still good.
Intelligence + Passion + Practice = Musical Excellence! Great Job Louis!
Talent also
2:15 Intentional tribute to Maynard in Macarthur Park?
+H2OWater I'm glad I wasn't the only one that heard it!
Haha I head that too
heard*
Everyone heard it.
yes i'm not the only one that heard it
Dude, this is sick! Love that guitar solo at 2:26
How does you manage to hit those notes that high and clear? It's amazing by the way. You definitely deserve more subs.
Lots of practice
Wow, such beauty i have never seen before in a Disney movie song cover BUT one thing i would have done was ending with the flugelhorn but trumpet at the end haves some character too nice done
I really like how everyone teamed-up together to play this. Hooray to those playing multiple parts. Nice job and sound.
This kind of thing is why I get up in the morning. Best thing I've heard all month. Keep it up.
did you play with the Blue Devils this year?
It’s not just the notes that are ridiculous, it’s that they’re clear, unwavering, and immaculately in tune. That’s the mark of hours of long tones right there.
One word: How. I don't believe you only have 100k subs, you should have 100,000,000 subs! You are actually insane. Thank you so much for this music.
When you hit your elbow really hard: 2:24
Awesome Louis!!
Why do I love this so much? Not only the fact that it's Disney but that they play it so well.
Incredible breath control!
True artistry displayed in a most difficult medium. These instruments are very difficult to play in such wonderful balance. This my friends is music extraordinaire.............
What a long way you have come Louis! It's so great to see how you have grown as a musician and that you have lived your dream! Good luck in the future!
Dude, like we get it, you're a god at the trumpet
but the flugelhorn? seriously? HOW IS IT EVEN BETTER?
casual D at the end there
Great version, would love to hear this on TIDAL in master-quality!
The reason I love music more then anything
I love everything this guy puts out it sounds so clean and it's never too cheesy keep up the great work
honestly, this is my favorite one you have made so far, you are so talented, and I wish I could be as good as you, I thank you for giving me something to stride for Louis.
me encantaaaaa
toda mi infancia hecha por una trompeta... muero de amor...
Sensacional !!! Es para morir de amor, realmente.
2:15 love this part
Awesome arrangement.....Great chops Louis!!! More! More!
Amazing! Just, amazing! That embouchure! The chops!!
I love the guitar solo!
Always a joy listening to this!
Beautiful. You got the chops bro!! Low brass was tight too!
I love all the trumpet shots (both solo and trio). Definitely going to try to play my way through this one; this just made my day, and it's only 11am.
I never knew the trumpet can reach that high
The trumpet has no limits, really. It just depends on the player
Alex Mercer since it's a brass instrument it can technically go infinitely high.
Alex Mercer you should go listen to some of Arturo Sandoval
I've been to a show where a guy played so high that your ears cannot perceive the frequency, you hear nothing.
Elecro Hillkill he must have missed a note. Its impossible for a human to play that high, even with a piccolo trumpet. For most people their hearing ends around 16k-18k Hz. A quadruple C on a trumpet is only 7.5k Hz and I know that there has never been a recorded quadruple C. Let's say you were to use a piccolo trumpet. They're one octave above a typical trumpet. Let's say that someone could play a quadruple C and they did it into a piccolo trumpet. That would be a quintuple C but even that is only 15k Hz.
yep, im learning the trumpet!
You'll enjoy it, I can guarantee that.
you were not wrong! its such a good instrument! only problem is now all my neighbours have to endure my playing lol
I would invest in a practice mute.
Straight mutes and harmon mutes both make for great practice mutes.
That's awesome that you're learning to play trumpet! Just make sure your time on mutes is limited! Heres why: it's super easy to get your lips all beat up without realizing it since the mute is so quiet. I wouldn't play a practice mute for more than five minutes at a time to be on the safe side. You'll have to find a place to practice or just embrace practicing with neighbors next door, I've heard stories of people's articulation on trumpet getting messed up because they rarely practiced without a mute!
Simon...beautiful woodwind playing and L. D. I watched u play lead in the Buble TV special. Honestly, I can't imagine any finer trumpet playing than
Louis and Wayne. Bravo!!!
Brasilian`s trumpet player, like this song, congratulations Wayne boy!!!
Please please please put these on Spotify! My nanny kid wanted to play trumpet with you every where!
His face looks too relaxed lol. I love this.
This is gorgeous on flugel. Damn.
(I mean, everything is gorgeous on flugel 😂)
Great job on this cover!!
You guys play so beautifully ❤
this song makes me feel better on a Sunday
What a performance! What an arrangement! Incredible musicians! BRILLANT! THAT IS WHAT MUSIC WAS MADE FOR!!!! KEEP GOING! :-)
This is by far my favorite big band cover of any song on the internet currently, I can't stop listening to it! Can't wait to buy the arrangement... if I can find the dedicated people to fill all the parts :P
When i listen to this i get Motivation to play my clarinet
Is that a Flugelhorn he is using in the beginning. Sounds a little more mellow than either a Trumpet or Cornet.
yes
Tigranes Gryphen yeah
It's also bigger, in case you wanted another tell.
Tigranes Gryphen yes
@@ShadowTaze Flugelhorns are E X T R A T H I C C trumpets TBH
Wonderful arrangement and musicianship.
Great arrangement and playing. Just awesome.
心が洗われました
You are one of my favorite trumpet players and you have inspired me to become the best musician I can be. You sound amazing!
Great musicians..all of you🎸🎺📯🎹🎷
Best version I've ever heard! Keep it up guys!!!
Goosebumps!! 🙊🙊😵
Different flugel in this one? Which one is it? Awesome job as always! Even with your fat big band tone your sound in the lyrical sections of this piece is extraordinary. Absolutely love listening to you play. Keep up building your youtube audience and I bet you could do a CD in the near future. Best wishes and happy holidays!
Really Awesome! Very tasteful!
very sweet sound in the lower register too.
So relaxing
Yea long way from playing over Maynard recordings huh? good stuff
I LOVE THIS COVER
Big flex with those higher register notes. Mans deserves to flex tho. Had to work hard to make it sound so effortless and clean
I've watched a few videos now... and I've got to say... you've definitely earned my subscription
Your chops. Respect. Holy Crap.
These Callum Au arrangements are outstanding. I hope someone in LA with an ear is paying attention. Yeah, a little Mac Park in there. Lol.
some serious props to you Simon Marsh
You are so funny when imitate playing trumpet 😂
Very beautiful great job everyone who made this!
-Austin X
My new favourite channel! Your sound is incredible! The whole band is sooooo tight and on point. Maynard meets Morrison, meets Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass. Thanks for making my day!
What a beast 🎺👏👏👍🍻
Wow! That's all I can say. Simply amazing.
What track recording software do you use? I think I see it in the background around 1:56
Play it loud guys! You all rock! Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours, you just made many peoples' day. Thank Que!
感動しました
涙でる
I love this SO much.
Simplesmente incrível e agradável aos meus ouvidos
This would make a sick middle song for a half-time show.
I know you are recording in a professional studio now but these early recordings are phenomenal done in the kitchen !!!!
Big Bands during quarantine be like:
Excellent work and musicianship!
For those who want an instant replay 2:57
yes my favourite part!
Chills!!!
Questo brano mi emoziona.
every i listen to this the only thing i can think is just "Wow"
0:52 There is a Bass Clarinet
I’ve watched this WAY too many times 😂 lol.
Me too
NEVER DISAPPOINTING
The flugahorn and french horn and bones were the best part(s)
