Listen to "jazz" trumpet players...it's all about learning the language- exactly like speaking.
We imitate and repeat...playing along with recordings is the first step. Chet Baker's ballads worked well for me.
Transcribing the solos is next- not necessary to write the notes down but I like to analyze which note choices he used.
Learning music harmony is also beneficial- connecting the scales and chords for specific songs.
@shifty Thanks man, this is perfect!! -Andy
I've read quite a bit about these Olds horns...currently researching differences between the Recording, Super, and Super Recording?
Anyone care to comment about this and/or playability?
thanks!
