@J-Jericho He is the real thing and a great teacher! I haven't been to Basel where he teaches this year due to issues with my teeth. With luck, late summer or early fall will be my next lesson.
I hope all goes extremely well with you.

I personally enjoy the natural trumpet selections on this piece. Something just fits better
I definitely enjoy Jean-François Madeuf's playing in

Not much to add. Keep listening to your video and make mental notes (maybe even written ones) about what you hear and what you need to do to clean things up. The important thing to do always is to listen. I don't think you're far from whipping it into shape. With thought and practice, you'll succeed. For inspiration, listen to Jacob Collier. His comments can be helpful, too.

VINTAGE HORN EYE CANDY?
I don't see it.
IF you look real close, you should see a bugle.
I thought the purpose of the picture is to eye Candy. That is her name, right?
Eye?... don't know for sure.
Perhaps you're having a hard time visualizing.
To what are you referring to by hard?
Double entendres are fun, aren't they?
I just finished watching this. It had been on my "Watch Later" list for way too long.

This brings me back to the time I bought every Stan Kenton record album I could get my hands on. 
He was piano #1 IMO. http://www.bluenote.com/mccoy-tyner-1938-2020/ I had the good fortune to attend a concert of his perhaps ten years ago. Superlatives are inadequate to describe his playing.
@SSmith1226 Xcaret website calls it Asian cuisine. Xin Gao is Chinese. The Mexican pronunciation means a dance YouTuber Sydney Watson recently referred to as "the horizontal Monster Mash".

The deliberately tongue-in-cheek Xin-Gao restaurant.
I give up. Sin Now vs Sit Down vs ?.
Did you ever watch the movie Traffic? It's one of my favorites, and the answer to your question is found in the first scene. Miguel Quintana, the founder and CEO of Xcaret in Playa del Carmen in Mexico, changed the Mexican pronunciation into Chinese for a humorous, racy restaurant name. Also, Xin Gao is a bona fide Chinese name, so there's that plausible explanation. It's not the real one, but still....
@Newell-Post My wife will sometimes refer to a person as Sum Yung Gai.

@Comeback Glad you reposted; I had not seen what you wrote before it was deleted. It's a gently humorous anecdote describing the incident perfectly. The best response to Political Correctness is to ignore it and its pettiness.
