@Kehaulani said in CLEAN YOUR HORN!:
I cleaned out my trumpet once. Green slime came out of it. My range dropped a fourth!
My concern here was, did the range decline come from horn changes or the change in pulmonary airway from aerosolization of growth in the brass?

It was just announced, he died of pneumonia and his Covid-19 testing was positive.
Just found this song about my town, Dayton Ohio. It pretty much gives a good feeling of the peacefulness here. Got me thinking, if you are from a city that has a song that represents it, then please, post it here.
Anyway, here is Dayton Ohio, 1903 but Randy Newman
I remember when in medical school, I had heard that a trumpet player named Wynton Marsalis was up for two Grammy awards and was to play a concert earlier in that same week at Gilly's, a jazz club in Dayton Ohio. I knew I just had to see this up and coming musician. On the bill with Wynton was a brother named Branford, and their father Ellis. What an amazing treat. Ellis was so amazing of a leader, and quit a humor at introducing songs. He also stopped a song in mid-intro when the bass player was not putting down the lines quit right, apologized to the audience, gave a nurturing lecture to the bassist as to the line he intended, and restarted the song in perfect style. What an educator and professional.
Oh by the way, the price I paid for that ticket: $6.00! Later that week, Wynton won his first two Grammy awards, one in classical, the other in jazz. Price of tickets to see Wynton went up soon thereafter, for sure!
Ellis Marsalis has passed at the age of 85.

A great loss to the Jazz community. Youth may not be invincible, but he was hardly young at 59. Still too young to leave us, though. I got to play one of his horns once, closest I ever got to seeing him, but I think he has a newish album out?was planning on looking it up.
He does. It is a tribute album to Miles.
Holly $hit. This is just unbelievable! First Roy Hargrove, and now Wallace Roney. Youth is not invincible! And just when I had a theory that playing the trumpet would help be an asset to beating that disease. Man, this has really thrown me for a loop. Thanks Kehaulani for the update. Just blown away by this!
Thanks for the Roy Stevens summary Dr. Mark. Much easier to see his thoughts in this context.
I am going to request the administrator connect with you FrankinD as you are just becoming too confrontational to this thread and now you need to be reeled in.
@FranklinD said in Lifetime quest finally paying off!:
To be clear: I completely agree with the post of Rowuk about this subject, as well as about the mechanics, evolution instead of revolution, as well as about the (lack of) necessity of the extreme high register for different type of players.
Personally I would love to have an open and broad high register up to a high G, above high C. For me that's the regular range of a B-flat trumpet. But that will take some more time for me, I'm afraid, evolutions don't go fast. And I invest now mainly in articulation and above all my love for the trumpet is 100% based on my search for the purity of tone, that's my drive. And not the applause of a bunch of high school kids after another DHC.
FranklinD, lets agree to agree... together. I am with you on this, OK. Rowuk and Dr. Mark are on the right track. And yes it does take time to open and develop a broad higher register, and yes this takes time, when using suggestions by Rowuk and Dr. Mark. So keep reading on and absorb the amazing expertise of the aforementioned members here on TB, and please do not let your anger of the medical profession cloud your ability to learn here, and yes, physicians are fallible, and to think otherwise would be fallacy.
An innovator in many ways, beyond his performance tribute. His work in the recording industry in supporting up and coming artists is truly amazing. His venture into hip hop shows as well his forward thinking to constantly evolve, and clearly his age does not interfere with this process.
@FranklinD said in Lifetime quest finally paying off!:
So dr. Go, your whole discussion of the use of the tongue is senseless. That will go on in the yes-no mode forever. If this discussion can have any benefit it's about the extreme high register an sich, is it useful for??? Is it necessary for?? Is it reachable for??? Is it worth a lifetime quest?? Is it a trick or is it evolution??? and so on. That questions are interesting not the bragging things.
Ah... I believe Dr. Mark very nicely first started bringing up the tongue relevance (I refer you to post 20). I do not think Dr. Mark bringing this issue to light is the least bit senseless. My contribution to this ongoing discussion was to support his position with somne medical evidence. I do not think discussing the use of the tongue is senseless at all, as this discussion brings science, physiology and trumpet performance to a higher level, unless of course your above commentary as more tongue in cheek.

@Dr-Mark said in Julian Zimmermann has started a new series on the history of the trumpet:
@barliman2001
Here's strain.
I am just glade this was done in the DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA.
Again, getting back on tract, Sound-Advice, any supportive evidence you have in going through extreme registers without the use of his tongue? I am still baffled by this concept, in light of how the normal physiology of the oropharynx, motor coordination of the embouchure, and respiratory control would suggest otherwise.

Why a white horse? There would be more contrast against a dark background, yes?
Shows how we can make automatic assumptions based on our race. Who says she was white?
Not race based issue at all, more historically based. I assumed you were referring to the standard from your friend's quote.
In context; I believe this is the standard to which your friend referred:

"What will this mean to a nude lady riding a white horse ten years from now?".
It means she can sit upon her horse and still have both cheeks of her ass intact.
Does that define bareback?
