Man, those EW&F guys can really play!
I already had charts for 1st and 2nd trumpet. This is a very demanding song so I transcribed additional parts for 3rd and 4th trumpet to share the load a little more evenly.

I didn’t know this 1960s band before being asked to play this (and a couple of others from their playlist). To save on some of the grunt-work this one started as a MIDI file. It was a bit of a mess but I extracted the trumpet lines, made it human-readable and adapted it for use. I left the MIDI “sax solo” as written because it was kind of useful as the basis for my solo.

Jain is a French singer/songwriter. This is a nice song and was apparently successful in France and Poland in 2015.
I’ve attempted to “fake” a loud French horn tone here, by playing flugelhorn and Harmon-muted trumpet in unison. I’m sure it won’t fool anybody, but sometimes you’ve gotta work with what you’ve got…
Be sure to also check out the extended version of this song 🙂

This transcription is limited to 2nd trumpet. I already had a 1st trumpet chart, so I didn’t need to transcribe it.

The Herb Alpert stuff is a lot of fun to play. In moderation, of course. 😉
This chart includes 1st and 2nd trumpet parts, harmonizing in those unique “Ameriachi” thirds.

This one is only a trombone chart. I already had trumpet charts so didn’t need to transcribe them. But I needed to help out my good buddy on trombone…

Chuck Mangione is, without question, the artist who most influenced my trumpet and flugelhorn playing style. About a million years ago (maybe a little less) I transcribed these charts for some of Chuck’s lesser-known pieces. I can’t recall which music scoring software I was using at the time, except that it was really clunky and difficult to use. And it was free.
These three charts still feature at the Mangione Magic website.
