You can tell by te permanent indention on his lips. http://static1.squarespace.com/stati...pg?format=750w 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. |

Couldn't handle trumpet My dad was a trombone player (as well as a pianist) who played in a dixieland band as an avocation for most of his life.

Funny thing is that a few years ago I really started to appreciate and like some of the old Big Band music and some of the old, light jazz tunes I had heard all my young life. I had the guitar shop at the time and was able to locate and buy a high end "jazz box" electric guitar along with an Evans jazz amp. But, the lack of formal training on the guitar became evident. Jazz is a unique style of playing on a guitar and try as I might, I couldn't get very good at it. The guitar was gorgeous sounding though. |

I think it was called popular music. And was most Y drums and guitar, instead of band where I played Brass. My good friend a year behind was in the class, and later he and 2 others from his class were known as CCR. In high school they were the Blue Velvets, and playing the Monkey Inn in Berkeley, where I met the wife, they were the Gollywogs. I think the reason I gave up brass, was both cars and girls. |

I got away from it when I joined the CG and got back into it a little later in life when my nephew had his garage band but I quickly turned that duty over to him. I was too old to be a "roadie". I've done the "sound" many times both at the performance venue I had and for local bands who have asked. Still do occasionally. Done it in halls, churches and full blown performance venues in Plymouth. The problem with it is that every performer has a certain sound that they want and they can be very demanding if they don't hear it. It's not so bad when a single band is doing a concert and you get everything dialed in at the sound checks. But when you have many people performing in an evening they are constantly requesting more lows, less lows, more on the monitors, less on the monitors, "can't hear myself", etc. Half the time I'll give a thumbs up without changing a thing and they'd say, "much better". The setup we had in the guitar shop was great for guitar sales though. It was a large shop with a big stage, complete with lights, sound system, etc. I had the mixing board way back in the rear along with some digital recording gear. If someone came in looking at guitars and they seemed right on the edge of buying it, I'd invite them to try it out on the stage to see how it would sound. I'd record them while they tried it out. When they stopped and came down from the stage I'd play back the recording as they walked over to me. Worked just about every time. They pulled out the credit card and bought the guitar. Here's one of the many concerts we had featuring local bands. The audio from this one was taken from a stereo microphone up on the ceiling rather than from the line out on the mixing board. I was using the line out to feed a computer that was sending live, streaming audio to a website on the Internet. People could go to the site and listen to the concert. This is a very good local blues band. If you like this stuff, check out the lead guitarist's solo starting at about 2:50. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQluTXiJaF4 |

He's much different playing 'classical' music. He's not up to Wynton's standards, but I like him. Listen to this from Wynton Marsalis, and then note the comment: "Brilliant. Having heard this many times, I've come to the conclusion that there are two trumpeters: Mr. Wynton and Mr. Marsalis! Alternatively, this man has three pairs of lips." The guy is phenomenal. If it drags too much at first, go to about 5:30 and listen to the rest. Three pair of lips might be an understatement -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
