    • RE: What is this?

      @barliman2001 said in What is this?:

      @Kehaulani That's more or less a new take on that old Nazi German joke... a guy goes to his town hall and tells the civil servant he wants to change his name. "Well, let's hear your name to see whether a change is permissible." - "Adolf Shittyfuck" - "Oh yes, I can understand you don't want that name changed. But our Führer has made such a change possible. What would you like your new name to be?" - "Albert Shittyfuck".

      Hmm. I first heard it in an Air Force band back in the 60s.

      Yesterday is history the future is a mystery and today is a gift.

      Or as a woman friend used to say a little more bluntly, "If you've got one leg in yesterday and the other in tomorrow, you're p***ing on today".

    • RE: Could there be another Bix today

      Of course anyone can speculate, if they wish, maybe some find it fun. For me, that ship's already sailed. Vastly different eras, so my personal feedback is - doesn't apply.

    • RE: How to Listen to Classical Music: Expression and Emotion

      I read a quote from Stravinsky that implied that, for him, it didn't have a thing to do with emotion. That he was focused on extreme care with craft. . . only.

      And yet, his music resonated, emotionally, with me. At another tact, I've left concerts with two people, having heard the same music, were at opposite ends about what they had heard. And both equally qualified to have a well-informed opinion. Which implies to me a lot of it has to do with background, personal preferences and even how you are feeling that day.

    • RE: Håkan Hardenberger: How To Anticipate Pitch And Breathe

      @Dr-GO said in Håkan Hardenberger: How To Anticipate Pitch And Breathe:

      I trained under Eugene Blee at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. He encouraged me with developing my own voice. Never did he try to have me imitate him. He would ask me to sing it. But he would never sing or play a phrase from me to imitate. Giving a student to empower their own voice. Ah, that is the difference between a good and a great teacher.

      I think that's situational, wouldn't you say?

      If a student has a crappy sound, the teacher is a good role model. Kids and beginners are led to reach a certain point before they have the experience and taste to go it alone.

      On another note, regarding sound from a teacher. One of my teachers, who BTW had his Bachelor in Voice, would sing a little intermittingly when he wanted you to play something differently. That was pleasing and effective.

      But my first sax teacher, Sadao Watanabe, would give me a Charlie Parker transcription, have me play it faster and aster until I couldn't keep up and then he would be shouting, "You're fig up, you're fing up! Didn't really help.

    • RE: Getzen Club

      This is kind of an aside, but the above comment of including Eterna Piccolo reminded me that back in the 60s when Getzen put out a periodical newspaper - remember those days?.

      there was an American playing in an Eastern European orchestra, who would regularly report on his use of higher-pitched trumpets. These Getzens were evidently good enough to play in a major European orchestra.

    • RE: Playing risks in Covid-time

      And for the musicians' sake, rubbing elbows with audience members, even though you may have taken all precautions on stage, then puts you at greater risk off-stage. Point is that, even though you may take precautions on stage, as soon as you socialise with others at the venue, all bets are off.

    • RE: playing with a full lower de nture

      It depends on what kind of playing you want to do. If it's heavy-duty orchestral or big band lead playing, I can't help you. If it's Jazz combo playing, I would look to Chet Baker for inspiration and guidance.

      While recovering from getting his teeth bashed in, I know he specifically said playing long tomes. He alluded to "all the books". I assume he meant Arban, Williams and Clarke, etc.. But what I got out of his personal comments was a different approach to playing. He certainly could play with conviction but it was without the kind of aggressiveness of, say, a Lee Morgan.

      He learned how to get his trumpet to speak, with little pressure. Of course there's no playing with absolutely no pressure, but I would explore the writings of the "no pressure" advocates and take what works best for you. Playing with false teeth did have an effect, not only on his playing but on his endurance, that's one reason he mixed his sets up with both playing and singing. So, if you can sing, sing and give your chops a rest. If you can't, program an occasional tune featuring ne of your band mates and you laying out. If you're playing alone, this doesn't apply.

      I play with very little pressure and what helped me was a change in attitude about using an embouchure plus, using more embouchure and less pressure doing the Maggio exercises. n.b. I did not use Maggio's embouchure, just the exercises.

      If you're a combo player, listen to Chet in Tokyo and tell me if that's not good enough,

      @GeorgeB said in D is for Dynamics from TrumpetAtoZ by Brain Davis:

      When you practice at 5 am like I do you better play softly.

      5 am!? I thought that was when one was getting in not getting up! 😈

      BTW, I believe it's Bryan.

      Then there are the pentacostal scales.... or is that pentationic... doesn't matter, as I can play them in any tongue!

      That's the Paleontological Scale. It's played on the jawbone of as ass.

      He's right about Germany. And he's a pro with a lot of teaching experience. For you, this is a big opportunity. I wouldn't let it slip through my fingers.

      Anyone like Lake Street Dive?

      Very tasty. Yes, I've loved this group for a while. Tasty and soulful. I get a kick out of some of their more sparsely offerings, like:

    • RE: What is Your Definition of a Well Balanced Routine?

      I am going to answer this in two parts. I have had several strokes and am continuing to recover from that. Hence, the first routine is now and the next my routine pre-strokes.

      Now:
      Long Tones
      The Balanced Embouchure.
      A series of Schlossberg exercises passed on from L.A. Studio guys.
      (Can provide specifics if requested.)
      Horen, Lesen, Spielen - German book of easy exercises and melodies.

      Then:
      The Balanced Embouchure.
      An Integral Warmup - Laurie Frink.
      Maggio basic exercises.
      Flow Studies - Cichowicz.
      Concert/jam session literature as needed.
