film about your life oh yeah he’s a very dear friend yeah actually he was here for for Christmas he was spending Christmas together here that was an incredibly funny boo you haven’t seen it watch watch the road to freedom read the part that the name of the movie made the movie that’s the thing I don’t know the silicon is a flight to free like the name of the movie is for love or countries of course that sounds a little bit more love or country there to Rosa Lewis story it’s I found it it’s it’s it is on YouTube so yeah you can watch it free you don’t have to pay a little downloaded or just press the bottom we would like that another question yes hundreds of people right again it’s really incredible that what a Katherine wants to know what do you feel when you’re playing in the high register I hope not a lot of pain do you does it really make you feel a lot of physical you know what that that always is it’s instantly the staff for me because a lot of people ask me about high notes and I never care about high notes so how come you come on even I don’t know my you know this is my let me show you you know about the sizes of mop is a trumpet mop is a little bit not very bit okay buddy watching time okay this is if you can save yourself one one quarter wanted one another’s see it sounds like a harry potter training no no but it will read the whole thing vincent ba corporation with Vernon New York Mon Vernon mark our Mount Vernon Sarah you need glasses any cars yeah one and a quarter see yeah this is a very like a symphonic Malby it’s not too played yeah so play hi no anybody else for one of those people who play high notes and stuff no one no you can ask around this kind of mop is no and this is mah mahp is that’s the one I use for everything and my main concern always has been the quality of the tongue the quality of the sound that’s what I care and only and if I could play a little lower because you know I play many low to grow credibly low with the same mouthpiece with this one Wow yeah I pay very low and I know nobody ever asked about a low note I do because I’m a low horn player that’s why it amazes the low notes you get out of there [Music] I love the low nose I love the mid-range no I love all kind of note as long as they sound good why can you get those notes what what is it about your set I’m sorry everybody’s a little our younger son but it’s for me as a brass I don’t know but when you started playing the trumpet you know your aunt bought you your first trumpet no every year I used crazy you don’t want to be a musician what is I knew that’s very true and you said an in it you need your homework like I did my setup yeah if you went away and your dad didn’t believe you could get a note out of it so you went away and you practice this thing until it was bleeding that’s really true that was probably little bit Hollywood right no no no there’s no all you know no actually we’re no Hollywood we are in Tarzana we are a few miles run and I’d stay away from that kind of ya fantasy mentality Roth foreigners it’s all the same Oscars no no no I really live with my food yeah very freely in the ground in the beginning I couldn’t play any high notes are all or even low notes I was strung into play you know you know I I really I positive that I wouldn’t I wasn’t that kind of person I’ve got like a natural abilities like some other players that they pick they’re holding it up no that wasn’t me I’m sorry let me get a little water out of your bottle sorry my goodness I’m still so so amazed at this I I don’t know better let me that misuse about it I I couldn’t play any I wouldn’t roll over ever I never have a lesson you know I I stopped like it kind of sell stuff you know I like to figure it out every book did you have anyone to show you the things late at all somebody let me copy a book Meagan Spain by the name of Jose Maria Beltran never hear about in 50 year I never held those book again and then I got an urban later on and I seen you come yes and you come and I still you see those two books there yeah Arbonne Icelandic okay still there I did I didn’t put it there they were we changed your whole room about when we came in these are the first two things I saw yes Arturo’s Bible oh yeah you know why when I make my recent ray actually it’s a it’s a long story but I gonna take we get up in the morning because I was living in his house for nine days Marie some days yes and we get up in the morning and play duets out of her Sonya cross blesses bless his soul oh man we miss him gosh oh but you know trumpet players really sit down and play through this you know what we call that the Bible yeah our Bible is about is the Farkus book and yeah he’s good for a society um yeah so you had this book so you learned you know lead invitingly rated little by little I played my I started trying to play an instrument and around 1960 yeah not the Sistine I read about a year after I played my first game 1961 I was 11 years old and the rest of the band was 50 something right oh yeah I Lisa for oh yeah oh yeah that was my first gig and then I started to play by ear of corn I don’t even know how to read music or anything and I was doing that for exactly three more years 64 I went to a school to get a little bit of classical training a little bit in Havana that was that was it and then after that I started playing with different bands in Cuba but always be from the boat and that was it oh my goodness that was one of the most important day of our life oh yeah totally he saved my life the movie is very touching you know and by yours truly Marianela told me that it’s really I said how much of it is true did he really use through play for you at the bus wake you up in the morning with with his trumpet or and and did you really pick you up from the bus and and oh yeah we’re married now for 43 years by the forty three years ago oh my goodness what I when I saw that woman and say how good she was she still is darling it’s a very oh we’ve made for 40 10 years yeah a son is 41 Wow going 42 this year which is young June which is young he’s gonna be 42 in June that’s the young age a very young age no so you met dizzy on the boat and that was history you went on tour with his band you defected oh look you’re I know yes again no I don’t have some any trumpet question I’m signed it but we made him a 77 after he come back to New York because this is very important when he come back to New York he’s time to talk about to everybody what does musician he just saw in Cuba because he was surprised that took him by surprise because he was spectin to hear good pianist and saxophone on trumpet insane he was paid because he never went there before that was a very first visit ever and he was pregnant to meet a lot of conga players and then and dancer and there’s that but he was so surprised you know when he was playing even his music and when he hit me heard me playing his lines his things he was like this opposes I like this okay the bottom line is he come back to New York not to talk to all those people a couple of months later we were the rehearsal with the band in Havana and the president of CBS record show up to reversal from Europe he was there for the whole rehearsal and then afterwards he introduced itself and nobody speak English in a band he brought some translators under okay but the bottom line is from the rear sir he is that I came from New York to hear those musician that Dizzy Gillespie was talking about that was a key point there because a few months later they put us on the plane and we landed in New York in LaGuardia Airport you guys must have totally this is this from Urbana to New York and they put a little bus there they drop the band to the soundcheck at Carnegie Hall the very first day ever I swear that’s a true story the very first day we drove to the soundcheck and we play the concert and then one or two in the morning we check in the hotel but we play the second half of the show the first half was Mary Lou Williams dream and Bill Evans to you and we play the second half of the show in the Carnegie Hall that was a very first day ever in the US and everything was because of this illustration how did you feel on stage at the Carnegie Hall uh are you be young and cool I was I was like 20-something you know at that time you know I was relaxed I was having fun until I looked at her first of all and I’m so - Stillman be lemon was there Tito Puente lisa.gillespie stan getz main of Ferguson the only owner know if they were in the owners because that was after so many many many years that it a band from Cuba came to the US that was the very first time how many were you seven anybody yeah no we were like 12 yeah we were like full brass and a full reason sanction and to percussion guitar that’s incredible yeah yeah I didn’t read that on Wikipedia that’s why I love the horn I enabled the man was either kid and then we did life you are moons with CBS yeah yes we got lots of questions sorry you guys I could talk to our tour for hours but this is your hangout so I’m gonna get to some really really good thing a David who plays the horn I think he’s in he was one that was in India said how do you keep in shape on tour when you have an amount of rujuta reduced amount of sleep and warm-up time how do you keep in shape on tour are you soon ah this that’s a very good we just to happen to have one prepared explain this I this is against this in save my life okay explain what they are I know what they are that’s very easy is you put your mouthpiece there mm-hmm and then you have to create everything because you don’t have the help of the horn you know and here it’s a little hole I don’t know you can you picking up that but you can graduate the amount of resistance okay so if it’s completely open then it’s yes the open hand and you can graduate on till you fill the as close as possible to the film when you play them all okay so you can adjust it just yeah and then personal in the airport in the boss in the plane in the hotel anywhere especially before the gig yeah Oh Drive in LA you can do that because you stand it sit in traffic yeah yeah and a plane which I know but believe me when I get to a gig I don’t even have to warm up with the whole okay let’s see the see how it works show me how it works [Music] you have to you have to really be for the intonation variation because there’s no help at all it’s a prism you designed this this has a wonderful name it’s called the Thunder vowels Sandoval who made this for you it’s a factory in China okay yeah okay and so you came out with the idea especially this something Anna is is a regular receiver of the pine and but the good thing is when you really get the dry intonation and the tongue in there [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] and sound music and when you switch to the whole is it and you don’t have someone every time your new hotel room the what you hear you started war revenue here oh but not with that I can’t blame ladies we need something at that for the horns you guys any born players watching can you design something like that okay I’m gonna go on that later yeah so this is how this is this is how you walk winter tour rooms oh yeah yeah the vows you guys when I when I get to the home believe me I I felt like that I can go to the game yeah I don’t have to warm up again [Music] all right we have a principal chocolate job going in the brother Philharmonic right now if you are interested you can my agent will take your details after the I have one of my dream I forgot is to be able to play that thing with but you just play that with warming up you haven’t slept you played a few minutes on that and you can play modified that guys that’s the secret obviously you’re lucky trumpet players are never lucky it’s a lot of power like everyone’s getting very excited about it okay some more questions amazing I I’m just I could just imagine everyone watching all around the world and on their headphones and doing that okay that’s me so um trumpet lovers say Arturo you are our trumpet hero what was the first dizzy song you heard oh yeah I think it was I think it was disease and no fear and how did you hear it Vizier did you hear it because you weren’t allowed in [Music] that was the first I love it how did you hear that because you weren’t allowed any I know you were thrown in jail for four months yes but you know but we discovered the The Voice of America from Washington DC it was a gentleman he wasn’t like a the holes of the problem will ease Conover he was an incredible jazz he knew everything about just everything and everybody and he got that problem every single day for one hour and he played the last records about and he promote all the concert that was around the anything that happened in jazz Willis Conover know about and they will listen to that program in the true wave radio every single day but you weren’t allowed to know when they catch me and they put me in jail for three and a half moon and then afterwards you carried on listening to it and you said I’ve earned the right to listen to it I’ve been in jail I like that part of the movie so you listen so that was your first song Wow fantastic I’ve got some someone from up patro Flores question from pacio he said could you ask arturo about his first an amazing trumpet concerto and you’ve written two now haven’t you yeah so just tell us about how that happened because you you use a lot of classical influences in there as well I heard I suppose would be a little classical a little I watched the live stream from Poland when you did your with the second concerto yeah so why patch are you gonna play it I think patches should play it I’d send in already they the material both of them okay Patra which one are you gonna play whatever whichever he’d prefer but I’m partial the finish I’m gonna tell you the very true in both cases I wrote like a the first one I wrote for one of my book hello no I brought a little thing and it works like a page of what supposed to be or imagine that there was like a second movement of Quintero and I put some core and I harmonizing and I recorded to a home that was Miami many years ago my wife listen to that and she came to the studio said what’s that said it from my book is for my book and it’s like to help a student to figured out how to make an interpretation of a second movement of her cachero and she said and what about the first and third nah I mean do you know what you have to write the first and the third and I said well when did you say now and I’m serious I put it tape on and I play the first movement and I put it again and I play the third movement and this one was exactly the same thing I recorded something like a demo that I call my passion for films Corinne it’s a video on YouTube and that was when she hear that the same thing is a a this sound like a second movement of a bruschetta I said oh you again and then that’s the same story I forgot we used us that that piece as a second movement and then I wrote the further answer and I got only one witness which is here today with us Dustin Hagen he know how we how we did the whole thing because he recorded everything you record a lot at home don’t you idle quarter everything here everything here not everyone in and everything I [Music] compose or whatever a lot of a lot of projects that I’d record there’s a very nice question here from from Jew I don’t know where you from Jude let us know who will be the next Arturo do you see any young ones coming up with this incredible ability I know it’s a really difficult question but it says it’s a it’s a fun question it’s a fun question but not for me don’t be embarrassed no but I it’s it’s I find that the students coming up with it there’s there’s not so many of these stories of you know because you were you were in in Cuba you could you know you learn this just your story of how you discovered learning the very hard way very hard way nothing nothing has been easy for me now yeah and to us is that question in somehow they say yes the part of the thing is suffering you know and get through so many obstacles and so many inconvenience in your life that that really helped to create your character how we play as how we are oh absolutely if you know if you never suffer or cry or be completely destroyed you know I don’t believe you gonna be able to play a melody that made song all the people cry that’s talking about that that for me is one of the most important thing when I play the balance something I swear God I wasn’t to the audience yes I see a lady or something doing like this oh my goodness I look that’s that’s for me is the the the biggest and the most important compliment that means a my goodness with the song with my expression with my sin our were able to touch somebody else so that’s extremely important some people care about to impress some musician with technique and things and high note I hate the Fahrenheit no high no no talk about museum and talk about it beauty and you know what it really made me feel comfortable it’s that people ask me all the time about a freaking high notes I already did I’m sorry no but but nobody ever asked me what you have been doing to get your control and under sound utter what I’ve been doing to get the control and the sound the sound the sound is here yeah what would this saying sound why did why was that what was your idea did you have an ideal sound before you started listen to this League announced at everything this is insane you’re a witness this is the same home same old piece and same thing [Music] [Applause] [Music] there’s a different sound sound is here you’re going to be able to produce the the kind of sound that you could imagine the sound that you guess if you get this sound you’re going to be able to make it if you don’t feel that before you do this you have to imagine I said I want to sound like Chad bacon [Music] this is the same one the same theme I play with you but students will come and I have students come to me and saying how do you pay these learners you where should my lip being worshipped my tongue be and where should you know to get that when a student wants to know something physical this is secondary doesn’t matter they said all rows go to wrong doesn’t match some people play with the mouthpiece little down yeah some people live more up some people leading to the side some people got different kind of I mean they’re the dentary it’s a what they call the angle the onion the angle all the time everybody’s different everybody’s different and you can no say to a student if you do this you’re gonna sound like they want to hear every individual is different for that reason I insist that the bottom line is what you hear and follow pursue pursue that sound that you imagine you know someone I mean I absinthe all of that doesn’t matter the adjustment you have to do whatever you have to do but the final answer the bottom line is whatever is going from here to there whatever happens from here to here nobody cares that’s your business yeah the audience doesn’t care yesterday they really don’t care what you do with your mouse on your movies or whatever they want to hear what is coming out of here and that’s the main point that’s the main thing we have to take care that my recommendation was in that matter is recording yourself yeah absolutely sure you recorded yeah I’ll be sure you practice with a metronome it does not don’t pay too much attention to that I believe me that helped so much what sort of exercises you mean give me the thin let’s run that one that one look at all these toys here everyone we have lotsa yeah it’s a fancy stuff here oh yeah I can’t I tried a few they all look a little bit me okay with my fingers that pop so what notes would come up okay I bring that’s the first lesson there this one yeah yeah that’s just four fingers that’s not for chops yes yeah but the reason is very important yeah with the reason not only with the fingers the reason is the command from your brain to your tongue to your lips to your form front arm that the end is there fingers rather or everything have to be command from the brain and it’s good that you have that kind of a reason strictly feeling in your conviction that the reason it’s very important everything when you do that’s reason to and when you make those kind of a different attack the reason is involved in that too now the attack that does really that Airstream we have another another toy that you just showed me for the Airstream look at this you guys look at this this is really got Ricky you got to get his eyes and it’s for the Airstream to find out whether the airstream is going the right way that’s it now I’m gonna throw away yeah good reflexes so you like all these little gadgets there’s like a toy you know anything that helped me I can I try absolutely oh that was really bad no no but but just blow natural and then increase the speed of the air yeah okay we’ll practice that later yes so what what is it it’s meaning it’s showing the obviously I have a big bad air screen is it’s not even how even is even alleys I’m too nervous for that okay we’re gonna practice this we came out in the mail now this is really speaking offering the man when I anyway in you I used that one the other one this one you da one I couldn’t get I couldn’t even get the ball up in that one this is a mainly amount a Germany yeah I’ve been using this for years yeah what’s it called a firstly a called Astra Astra you’re okay yeah he said to say hi you was he told nahi I show you this he’s ordered it now I don’t know okay but what I tried to do in the first couple of is tried to made a ball touch did I tried that and I couldn’t see yeah I do that few times and then I taking a lot of air and try to keep the ball out to the middle what does Mark are but are taller that’s not that’s not that that’s not the compression speed you use for everything that’s just that’s just to get it going right if it’s due to habit to have it I use it yeah when you need it good but is what did though Jesus said you know Tom wrote something and I really appreciate that very much you should have heard him in Alpine Symphony last night it would be LA field it was amazing beautiful beautiful good yeah but he also wrote in there in his page this moment that I play for him like this and he said he never hear such a soft song ever I asked Tom two days ago I said what what what impresses you about on tour what can I talk to him about he said he has never heard such a soft sound in his life he said ask him how he does his whispers how do you whisper this is our to a whispering I can hear what an air this week of their they’ve turned it down after mother five and now they’re turning it all up that’s whispering and how do you use that in a piece you don’t cuz no one would hear it but that’s just to get the mind the vibrations going it’s about control ah okay don’t you know use the amount of air of intensity and everything that music demands but if some people properly practice the practice loud yeah when I practice Clark that things I practice very very soft [Music] a generation [Music] even when you’ve got really big gigs that that’s your that’s your bread and butter you know I’m gonna tell you something in my aura t of the people in the jazz music and gas business mmm some of them really don’t care too much about a classical training and they’re the kind of control you need and the tongue in and articulation when you play the melody source and be sure you don’t do [Applause] [Music] that they are more related to the classical music when I practice I saw God and not even think about jazz or pop or any kind of other kind of music I think about preparation to do what whatever you have to whatever you whatever the life asks you to do it or you go to a recording or something you have to be ready because you don’t know what you’re gonna find in the music Stan could be a surprise and you have to be prepared for surprises there’s so many questions coming in I’ll just fire a few at you will just ask ask a quick if you could Carlos a really interesting question if you could create your all-star brass quintet who would it be if you could play in a brass quintet with me of hole on the horn of course of course otherwise by the way I’m so sorry I never play in the brass well then we should start with Tom we can take Tom yeah Tom Newton yeah we’ll take find the tuba player a nice tuba player Wow and I know the trombone okay okay guys well we’ll work on that one I’m so sorry about it okay I never did that’s okay we’ll think about that one well we’re gonna we’re gonna have a little little gos in a moment um lamppost on Greece asks I do well you’re gonna be upset when I ask you something about the high register what for endurance in the high register so many trumpet players old brass players struggle with endurance because they they press to get behind it’s not we got to go to the efficiency efficiency of the whole body in function of creating sounds yeah the speed of the air now it’s crucial the speed of the air in any register but you know and the position of the tongue is crucial as well you have to be aware that your where’s your tongue at all time and the pronunciation of different cycles is like it the whole time we all say it’s crucial you have to do that oh yeah but not even think about the throw okay the people who think about it well and use the throw serious problem we just try and keep it at home place you’re trying keep it open all the time now because the minute goes actually no play yeah open I’m passive okay oh thank you bypass this is the bypass not even think about to made this part of the poet participate okay in anything because that created a lot of problem especially in the way out of the sound yeah this is just a way it’s a way to reach that then but it’s important when they get here that both lips are together like this and then put your hand like this are you singing no you know I was spitting know how yeah you see this is a very big horn 470 and this is a very big mouthpiece that my someone’s just written congratulations to Tim for doing a great job with the extremes of the sound that Dustin and Tim back there they are really let me get there below yeah there you’re gonna like this I am just liking it all no no but this is sound just talking about sound from the bottom very bottom a lot of people play those low notes with the fast position and that sound is fast it’s not the real sound yeah we you have to play this role note with your regular and normal ambusher yeah no it’s not I mean it doesn’t sound like it [Music] [Applause] silence it’s incredible I think I think we everyone who wants our tips to be able to do that I’m not sure if it’s up it’s not something you can learn it’s something you you you you if you have that sound then you just you do it I don’t show you know what is very important I was talking to turn the all the data and it’s important that your your whole body should participate in the fusion well it has to to get those how it’s because you were you know Bob some people believes is only you know that’s a Nazi insurance card on yeah it’s exactly that create induce problem and also fatigue you know you get tired you you know you know the thing you’re stuck and that nothing came out you can students learn that can they learn what you just did or is it just something that some people are really have the natural ability to use our entire body idea you did you never learn it I know I know that was leader by leading know when you know when that change happened when when I really took conscience of how seriously after practice how much passion I have to put into the home you say yeah that from that moment on I was like I start when I started was like 10 years old I’m talking about when I was 18 19 or something like that is for the first time and I said wow I struggling it should be a solution for this I have to find a way to resolve all this problem that struggling with okay what was that way you know what I did what practice and practice well yeah practice well you can act as well and practice with the the mind frame of gratefulness used are one man every time you sit down to practice my recommendation is to two seconds when you put your home in butter water you stand your instrument okay you’re ready to go two seconds says God and for those who don’t believe in God just thanks thank me whoever don’t believe in God I don’t want to talk to that now sorry well then we thank God whoever don’t believe in God is now in my thing at all I know I don’t want to recommend anyone sane to then I don’t want to talk to you okay so we’ll disassemble the trumpet players they’re gonna be thanking God I certainly will be oh are you gonna tell you that two seconds and that means just really grateful that instead of driving a truck of working in a mind broken you know stumbling whatever you are doing something to do what to improve your thing to grow as an artist to resolve all the problems or teleca’s problem and and improving and creating good skills and of course it’s you have to be happy also the people said oh my goodness I have to practice now all that oh I’m sorry you’re never gonna make it you’re never gonna make it you have to smile and say wow it’s so good at home I don’t have to do anything else I have copper hour now to practice and then that kind of concentration that you get on that the results are completely different because you are enjoying you you know you’re putting in your vein in your brain the whole information with such a yeah you know passion that in the end not gonna make a big difference it’s like a practice by practice because I have to cover some time that there’s no good fantastic it was really it’s very moving as well you you’re humbling me with your passion for what you do really it just I’m sure you’re getting that on camera to you guys it’s just incredible that’s the only way yeah that’s the only way trust me that’s the only way that’s the only way the people that there’s always ask me to jump people what give me some not bad what I think he said the best and the only advice I have for you is you wanna make it you must be in love with music your passion and love are respectful music and for the audience further further on the roll you know but your passion you love your dedication your commitment your consistency all those things have to be stronger and bigger than any kind of possible or inconvenient that you could have in your in your in your way your passion gonna be stronger I’m bigger I’m gonna be gonna prevail I’m gonna be you know oh man there’s nothing more I can say thank you

you think I love the sound of their own yeah I don’t know for me it’s probably the most beautiful sound in the orchestra we like to hear that oh that’s the reason I get this I was I was hearing from a friend of mine who who composes for a lot of the stuff for the studios and he’s saying the trend is going to not compose for so many trumpets for at least six or eight horns is really true and also probably in the classical repertoire repertoire one of my favorite piece okay it is competing with because I’m a huge fan of Rothman enough of those piano co-chair or uncle Akasaka carrizal another
