What's the recording in this scene?
-
There is a scene from the Show Better Call Saul where there is a vinyl record playing in the background. It sounds like a flugelhorn. Does anybody know what this recording is?
-
It was a nice piece of music but not familiar. Looked like a Capitol label. Merry Christmas.

If you have easy access to the show/episode in question, it should be in the end credits.

I believe I have your answer:
It Never Entered My Mind (Remastered) - Miles Davis (Better Call Saul Soundtrack) (HQ) 1080p
Not a flugelhorn but Miles playing a Bucket mute.
-
Man, that's Miles from the first trumpet note.
-
What if Mile's trumpet was not muted? It may have sounded like this:
-
This unmuted playing is for me intrinsically Chet and not Miles.
The sensitive and very intimate breathy phrasing and gentle vulnerability that we hear here, I have heard in Chets playing so many times and it is characteristic of it and it speaks to my soul.
I love Chet and I love Miles both, and both speak from a different perspective and both bring different emotions and articulation to their playing.
This although neither Chet nor Miles, speaks to me as powerfully as any work by Miles or by Chet, thank you for posting it.
We are hearing work of the highest quality here and hearing the work of genius equal to the very best in the world.
I say Chet not Miles.

Trumpetb thanks for your perspective. Till Bronner is now my all time favorite musician. Also had the pleasure of meeting him. The next day he invited me on stage and we had the chance to play together and at one point to trading 8's.

@Dr-GO I cannot imagine the pure joy of sharing such moments and sharing a space in time with Till and being worthy of it.
I am too late myself with so many of those who have now departed although Till exists, it may take me what remains of my lifetime to measure up to him.
Some would say that we would be lucky one day to be good enough and to have that opportunity.
I say there is no luck there is only hard work and we make our opportunities.
I believe we create ourselves and we forge ourselves on the anvil of hard work, Till has done so as Miles Chet Louis Harry and all those other greats have done and did before him and before us.
We stand on the shoulders of Giants and one day if we work hard enough we might stand beside them as you have done.

Yes, Doc has stood beside many of the great ones of today. That says a lot for him and his playing abilities. I always enjoy any videos he posts of himself playing under interesting conditions. I like his sound and his style. But don't tell him I said so .

@georgeb At any rate it is much more relaxing to be invited by the greats to play with them than to be called into action due to emergencies... I once attended a concert by the Dusko Gojkovich Big Band where a friend of mine was regulation 4th trumpet. At the last piece before the interval, he collapsed on stage and had to be brought to hospital by ambulance due to a ruptured gall bladder... when he was carried out, he had me called and told me "my case is in the greenroom - you carry on", and I had the unenviable task of playing on another guy's instruments, in an orchestra I had only heard once before, a repertoire I had never played... without rehearsal... somehow i got through without too many notes left out...
-
Oh, man, certainly nothing relaxing about that situation. But what you had to do under pressure also says a lot about how good a player you are. My hat is off to you, sir.
