Re: Phil Smith Plays Haydn video

What's up my peeps? Huggy's here to make some sense of all this.

This kid (Phil) has some mad skillz, yo! Fo' Shizzle!!! We can all have different musical tastes....I like TSOP and ICP and the like.....Michael Sachs like Rush, Led Zeppelin and Hansen.....Mr. McCandless has even been know to have someone "whake him up, before he go, goes"....but you can't say this fly trumpet pimp is not a GREAT musician. I've heard people say this same sort of thing abotu Maurice Andre. Crazy! While it's true that "Pimp Daddy" Smith doens't play with the sort of sea sick phrasing that you might hear from a group like Synergy Brass, I'd argue that he takes more of a long view of shape and phrase. There's a famous violinist that's been accused of similar attribute of technical brilliance and musical abyss.....his name was Heifitz....ummm, that brotha' was pretty good!!! At least that's what my band director tells me.

Love you guys....
