I’ve heard him live many times with the Airmen of Note in performance and rehearsal/sound check. I’ve NEVER heard him miss anything - or play anything that wasn’t tasteful or appropriate.

Brian's lead sound has always "cut through" without sounding obnoxious. Just watching him his mechanics/technique look flawless. Center core airflow. The cat has it together....

I was very pleasantly surprised to see Brian MacDonald performing flawlessly as always, and likely one of the best lead players I've ever ever heard. Plus, I was glad not to see Allen Vizzutti performing. I know it sounds negative but Brian it's such a pleasure to listen to. Again, he might be one of the best lead-players around today.

That's a Conn Constellation small bore! Gosh I should have never traded mine for a Bach Strad in 1972! Brian certainly smokes lead trumpet! This is a great band!!! 🎺🎵🎶👍

So Many great high note players used Constellations, Maynard did for years, Cat Anderson, Al Stanwyck, and many others. I think Maynard sounded best when using his Constellations, but he was also in his prime at that time.

I agree that they should have gave Brian some credit. I think Allen Vizzutti was in the title to denote that this came from the same session as his recordings, so it was more about organization than anything else.

It was a tune originally recorded by Maynard Ferguson. The Vizzutti listing is an error, but this band does have several videos that were recorded in this same venue, with Vizzutti as a guest artist.
