Ban idiots, not guns

I liked it. It is a rather simple and solemn piece. I noticed her rather unorthodox playing technique of placing the horns mouthpiece just off center of hers. But, whatever it takes.

Good job!

Didn't Sachmo use the same technique?

Not that I know of. Louis was pretty well dead front. You can tell by te permanent indention on his lips.

The optimum placement of a trumpeter's lips on the mouthpiece is a
pretty complex issue. It's called the "embouchure" and it can be
different for different mouth shapes, teeth placement and facial
muscles. Beginners start with it centered, using more of the upper
lip than the bottom but in time and with practice the best placement
is determined, usually by finding the placement that provides the best
range of pitch. It's also very common to develop a callous or "lump"
on the upper lip after years of playing.

yep!
