The trumpet looming in the foreground before he grabbed it made me giggle
I can think of two reasons why this performance would have been better if he had never touched the trumpet.
- It would have been funny.
And we all know the second reason.

I don't want to watch this, not so much because it's Flea playing trumpet but because it's on Fallon

A muzak Frank Ocean cover is not the worst idea I could conceive of, but his trumpet playing is embarrassingly flat.

I don't think it's bad. Kind of endearing, playing Local on the 8's with band nerds.
It's not like he's blowing masterfully through changes or anything. But he's doing a thing that seems personal to him. God knows he could do a lot worse, like forming another shitty supergroup with LA douchebags.
His trumpet doesn't sound flat to me. Nice to see another trumpet playing bassist.
