Don't know about best

but your username reminded me of Cumbernauld (Fragments Of A Great Confession) by Lapsus Linguae. Brilliant trumpet bit on that beauty.


Yes!

It's a great track but not the best track with trumpet in. Kudos to you for working out my username!


in

other news, do you (or anyone here) have a copy of you got me fraiche you could ysi?


off the top of my head...

Beta Band - Dry The Rain
Neutral Milk Hotel - Communist Daughter/Fool
Beirut - Elephant Gun
The theme from the TV show OZ


no they

are not right


Johnny Cash

Ring Of Fire

Or Less Than Jake - Look What Happened


No

Gwen Stefani


<uber pedant/>

Less Than Jake use trombones and a sax, no trumpet.


I do apologise.

In which case, I change my vote to Radiohead's National Anthem/Life In A Glass House


16th St. Dozens by Two Gallants

Mournful and FUCKING WIN all in the same song!


Okkervil River - Girl In Port

Off the brilliant Stage Names album.

There are a few good Byrds tunes with Hugh Masekela playing trumpet (which I can't remember off the top of my head)


Down I Go - Henry VIII

Lightyear - A Pack of Dogs


<uber pedant/>

Henry VIII has a trombone, not a trumpet (i think?)


Take care of all of my children - Tom waits

think it's a trumpet anyway. it's just BOOF


um...

The Beatles - "Penny Lane" - the Bb piccolo trumpet solo that spawned a thousand imitations.

Chet Baker's solo on Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding".


Minus - The Long Face

There's a Jarcrew one I can't remember the name of..


yeah, i was listening to that Jarcrew record yesterday

I like that song with the trumpets on.

In fact, an awesome record.


Saxophone, not trumpet

The horn on Minus's 'The Long Face' is a tenor sax...


Elephant Gun


.

something by Robert Wyatt, an amazing trumpeter.


yeah the stuff on rock bottom

it's actually by mongezi feza though


yeah?

didn't know that, well the stuff on comicopera then.


Exactly

Sibley.


Biffy Clyro

Kids From Kibble and the Fist of Light
Very nice muted trumpet in there.


having a ball

by one more grain


fuck yes

That song live was unbelievable mainly sue to how great the trumpeting is


No

TOO arty, gwen stefani


^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Little Lord Troll.

Reward by Teardrop Explodes.


fuck you

goblin


The theme music to:

Jeeves & Wooster!


either

belle & sebastian - dog on wheels

or

love - alone again or

or

the specials - a message to you rudy


Message to you Rudy

Isn't the solo on this on a trombone?


Suspended from class

By camera obscura the trumpet solo makes it.


Salsa

Anything by Hector Llavoe or Rube Blades, pure salsa trumpeting joy.


Trumpets are awesome

I like the trumpets in Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (the album in general, not the song).

Kids from Kibble and the Fist of Light was a good shout too.

My band just finished recording our EP. We have two songs with trumpet. It's a very underrated instrument.


American Football - The One With the Wurlitzer

Hands down.

close thread.


I used to play the trumpet

Badly.

First one that sprang to mind was Judy and the Dream of Horses by Belle and Sebastian


Love

'Alone Again Or' / 'Maybe the people..'

or

'Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road'
Robert Wyatt


The National

Fake Empire.

Is that a trumpet? I am not up on my brass instrument identification.


Starlings by Elbow

The trumpets make the song.


Elephant Gun is a great shout

But being a NMH obsessive I'd say Song Against Sex or In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.


there isnt any

the instrument shouldnt be used in popular music


the music of Ted Curson

for you jazz catz


lmao

^^ I was just about to write this, sarcastically though.


Tell Me When My Light Turns Green

by Dexys

(at least I think its a trumpet)

or

Pink Carnations by Animals That Swim

Both pretty wonderful!


Dexy's had

2 saxes and a trombone (I think)

There might be a trumpet in there though.


Dexys= no trumpet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexys_Midnight_Runners

Almost anything by Animals that Swim as well- London Bridge is my fave...


Animals That Swim Reformation

Where do I sign?


:3

:)


landlocked blues

by bright eyes. the solo trumpet in the middle is beautiful.


^this

the Motion Sickness version beats the album version hands down though.


Beulah- Emma Blowgun's Last Stand

Is surely a great brassy song.


Hornkonzert K412

is about the only trumpet I can bear


Emma Blowgun

gets my vote too


First song i thought of

Dinosaur Jr - Im Insane


LAZARUS

BOO RADLEYS

so good it makes you type it in capitals for dramatic effect


Not sure if its a trumpet, it may be a trombone...

Reinstated by Shack

That's twice today I've bigged up that album.

Odd, must listen to it.


Holes - Mercury Rev

Got back into Deserters Songs recently.


The June Brides "Every Conversation"

Such an irrepressibly happy trumpet riff. Glorious stuff.


Bluetones - Home Fires Burning

there has to be a trumpet in that brass section somewhere.


Spinning Wheel

by Blood, Sweat and Tears! Several trumpets!


*shels

the conference of the birds. it's a beauty.


Barcelona

by Lincoln is magestical


Bah!

Trumpets in songs are so passé.

How about the best song with a Euphonium?

Louis Armstrong?

Jazz trumpet pioneer anyone?

Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine- Conga

Bender dancing to it when he becomes human in Futurama aids my love of this admittedly


Devotchka
