PLEASE name the musicians in the trumpet section who play the opening theme. Too important to not reveal them.
Really true. Please tell which big band is playing here!
Without evidence I think it might be Louis Dowdesdell (trumpet)
Absolutely, who are these guys?
Or girls.
And hopefully footage of them recording this music.
Without evidence I think it might be Louis Dowdesdell (trumpet)
Who does the trumpet solo in the closing credits music. It’s over the top amazing. And where is it? I listened to 27. Don’t Look Up – End Credits Suite (2:29) but it’s not there.
Absolutely, who are these trumpet players? this is the best (jazz) trumpet section I’ve heard on a movie score in years. They are screaming and so tight and crisp.
With the internet being what it is these days, might as well email Louis directly and ask him to confirm.
Looks like it is Louis Dowdeswell according to IMDB Music Department Credits for “Don’t Look Up” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/fullcredits/music_department
