ok gotmooo and andy you 2 are bias bastards and choose not to see the musical beauty and the way he used great articulation, intonation, and even the interpitation. Interpretation is defferant for each person and his is good butso is everyones but be nice and not ass holes please

Anybody know anything about Raymond Leppard, the conductor? i really like his style,if everybody gets what i mean.he's a good conductor from what i can see,and i just like his jollyness =D as for Wynton, he's amazing like usual. his interpretation of this piece is remarkable, and truly worthy of reference to many trumpet tactics, especially his articulation i find. =D go Wynton! come back to classical! or at least play classical more than he does now.how much classical does he play now a days?

I am trumpetplayer in Japan.I feel his lip is perfect for trumpet.I like his interpretation.

yodasbro (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Yes, totally agree Andy. I can't stand this interpretation. Pastiche classical with a bebop tone.

Totally agree with gotmooo here. Andy guy is clearly a crap player or not even a muscian at all. This recording along with the Phillip Smith one are the best around. Many Trumpet and brass teachers use this recording in teaching. I mean, how can he say unfocused tone? This guy's high Eb is supurb. Ultra clear with no hesitation. Trumpet players aspire to sound like him so it's insulting to hear from an uneducated oaf that "oh it's not focused, not that i know what the fu ck i'm talking about".

referring to andy4009 of course

lol dude, you are either a terrible trumpet player or not a trumpet player at all.

77sallysayshi77 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

you think this is lifeless and unfocused? this is the greatest i've ever heard this played, i don't think you could find anyone to play this better than marsalis. if you'd ask anyone i know they'd agree with me that Wynton's recording of this is by far the best.

andy4009 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Lacking in delicacy, rather lifeless unfocused tone, strange phrasing, inappropriate head bopping, inventive but ultimately tasteless cadenza. Yep, it's Marsalis.
