Recording yourself during this lay off

Re: Staying in top playing shape post band shutdown
I kept up the practicing for a couple of months then things started to slide. I was able to get a couple of jazz gigs so I learned a few new tunes and practiced a lot for several weeks. The gigs went very well. Hard to stay motivated after that for sure. I do enjoy downloading play along tracks, importing them into my recording program, then recording myself on aa separate track. Started doing this a lot more since Covid and things have really improved, intonation, time, right notes!! etc. Fu=ind fun ways to try new things, you have lots of time...

I do the same thing myself. It is more fun for me and motivating, for sure. I am not a pro, nor do I have to answer to anyone who might tell me, “ you should be doing this, or that, or long tones, or short loud tones, or unpleasant tones”, you get my point, right? Here is a sample of a track. I added bass, guitar and light percussion with the use of GarageBand on my digital keyboard.

Great tone there, Wayne.

Non-trumpet recording but WTH... One of my lockdown projects has been trying to gain some comping skills on piano. Reading two lines of music along with lyrics has been a challenge, but I finally managed to play and sing all the way through a short tune. The piano was a fun project, it was terminally unable to hold its tune and the tone was lousy, so it's had a heart transplant - a Korg B1.

Today Chet Baker, tomorrow, the world.
Nice way to put your free time to use, tj.
