about

Instrumental to "I Miss the Old You" featuring Ethan Chilton on trumpet. Here's Ethan on his process arranging the horns for this special version of the song:

“I’ve made a few all-trumpet arrangements before, but never released them. It felt like a really fun challenge to take a song that was so warm and acoustic and rich and try to capture that on a cold piece of brass. Sean suggested that I look to Coltrane’s recording of ‘My Favorite Things’ for inspiration, and this was super helpful! Coltrane took a show tune from 'The Sound of Music' and turned it into a modal jazz masterpiece, stretching the phrases, ornamenting each syllable, and layering it with his own signature sound...The biggest challenge was getting my tone right on trumpet. There couldn’t be any brash or ‘spitty’ sounds. It had to channel as much soul as possible to make that bridge from my jazz background to Sean’s more acoustic/country sound.”

lyrics

*Sound of trumpet playing. (This is an instrumental.)
