“People think of [the flugelhorn] as a double for the trumpet,” says Matheny. “It’s a bigger instrument, you have to fill it with more air. To my ear, it’s just a better sound… Flugelhorn is to the trumpet like the viola is to the violin. The violinists get all the love, but the viola players really expand the sound.*”
John Stowell is one of the world’s great jazz-guitar masters, specializing in the intricate “chord-melody” style, which is perfectly adapted to Brazilian Jazz.
