@tmd said in WHY IS THIS BALLAD ....:
It's maybe not the best love song ever written. But it's one of the better "angry love songs".
It's one of my favorites, and a popular song in my jazz trio's regular lineup. Initially, we performed it as a ballad. It became a crowd-favorite after we switched over to a double-time feel, to give the song a bit more energy.

Mike, I would disagree. Nothing says love like "The Look of Love":
@Richard-III said in Could you have a metal allergy?:
You said: "A watch or ring worn continuously for weeks will eventually give me a rash."
This is because it takes hours to days to develop nickel contact dermatitis, as opposed to minutes to hours to develop a poison ivy contact dermatitis (as the plant's oils bring the allergen into the lipid layers of the skin much more quickly). So I am betting if you paste a nickle mouthpiece to your lips (disclaimer - I do not recommend this), you would likely develop this rash as well.
The lad in the post is a trumpet student, and I bet did spend hours a day on the horn, making him even more sensitive to developing a lip contact dermatitis to nickel.
Excellent tmd (the T in tmd obviously stands for Toots, yes?)

I would reach out to Dr. Bergman with any questions you might have. He is a personal friend of mine, a fine trumpeter and our next ITG President. I trust his word.
I am Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, was the President of the Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Association, have a National Teaching Award named after me (The Gary Onady Award) published Evidence-based Systematic Reviews on allergy reactions AND am a member of the American Federation of Musicians (very proud of that one). So what am I, chopped liver?
I see and have personally cared for and treated nickel allergies (more related to jewelry) for over 30 years in my medical practice. The case you posted is a clear presentation of long duration, repeat exposure to nickel which is commonly seen in a medical practice. So any individual can additionally reach out to me through this thread, as a member of TrumpetBoards. But I ask you to judge for yourselves if you feel my above discussions are on point.
Please do read our disclaimer. I do ask that you first reach out personally to your own physician and then have that physician contact me if they have additional questions. I will provide the background and medical recommendations that physicians' will need. I serve as a consultant to United Healthcare and the American College of Physicians to produce such educational materials for physicians and patients.
Two Main Rules:
Sight Read Often
Sing it before you play it, and if you're Rapier, sing it to yourself and all will be fine.

@GeorgeB said in Just Another "New" Discovery:
This reminds me of the rendition Chris Botti recorded.
So I played the two versions back to back, and had to pause every 12 bars or so on Chris Botti's version as he played a slightly faster tempo. One thing stood out so much more than the other (except for Blue Mitchell smoking a cigarette), was Chris plays behind the beat in many of his phrasings. That does change to feel a bet between the two.
I received an email question from a musician that I would like to share with this group. Here is the context and the question:
"[A] guitar player was grossly out of tune. The way I was positioned on the stage allowed one of my ears to be pointed toward a monitor and the other ear pointed toward the audience... The sensation in the ear that was pointed toward the monitor "felt different" than the ear that was pointing toward the audience. This makes me wonder if there is more of a biological/acoustical component to the headaches people get from listening to out of tune performances and its not just tension headaches. Could it be that the cilia react in a way that displeasing when exposed to frequencies that are dissonant? Is it the way the frequencies hit the eardrum?"
I have never experience such a complaint in my medical practice so I did a PubMed search and found no articles specific to musical intonation and headaches; however, I am sure band conductors can be driven to headaches though when members play out of tune during a performance.
With that said, I actually did find an article that did note that hearing differences related to tinnitus or sensorineural hearing impairment (difference between hearing quality of ears) is linked to headaches with a 12.2% increase in headaches in patients with this disorder compared to 5.5% in patients with headache without this disorder. I am providing the link below to that abstract. So it just may be possible that some individuals may be prone to headaches by a neurological trigger stimulated by listening to out of tune performers within an ensemble.
My request to readers of this thread is to please do let me know if any of you have experienced this effect.

In addition, I refer you to this article that gives a very good differential diagnosis of lip dysfunctions in which Dystonia, thankfully is not as prevalent as other treatable etiologies.
This Table give you a comparison of the various conditions and their symptoms to the differential cause of embouchure dysfunction:
Finally, here is the proportion of all causes of non-ED and ED (with the percentage of ED among instrument types):
HOPE THE ABOVE ARTICLES HAVE BEEN HELPFUL
I use to teach trumpet lessons (Buddy Rodgers Music, North College Hills) when I was a starving college student trying to make extra cash as a musician. That and my band paid my way through college. And I still perform today, 50 years later as a musician (and a card carrying AFM member to boot) but no longer teach trumpet. I now teach however, in my other chosen profession, health care. Wish I had the wisdom way back then, 50 years ago, that I have now as I would have been much more accomplished as a trumpet teacher.
Fast forward to today. I address my patients by putting them into the prospective that you (the patient) are my boss, and I am only your spiritual advisor. I then let them know it is my role in our relationship to provide them with the relevant clinical expertise centering around their needs, and then provide them several options. They choose the option they want (or sometimes even create an option I did not even bring forward to them). I will go with whatever direction they provide (as long as it does not harm them - "first do no harm"), but then follow them up shortly to take inventory as to where they are and if their goals are being achieved. If so, continue in the same direction, if not, try one of the other methods that I provided based on well documented evidence.
Key is, you got to get their trust to move forward and if you hear and work with each other, a successful outcome will be achieved.

How about this one for Uan Rasey?:
True 'nuff this was Uan's signature song. I believe played this on an Olds Recording. But while not Till's signature, his version seems to move me the most:
Songs the Pastor has chosen for next Sunday's Easter Service:
Christ the Lord has Risen Today; Alleluia! This is the C score I play from (as I typically prefer transposing) AND Pastor requested I play a Trumpet intro before the organ joins, so I have written in the Trumpet Intro at the bottom of the manuscript... AND that intro IS written for Bb horn. I have also scribbled in trumpet calls to complement the organist in the main manuscript.

Ah nurse I believe the problem is marked at the arrow.
