Coltrane and Miles were talking about soloing thoughts and Trane said. "Sometimes I just don't I just don't know how to stop" and Miles said, "Why don't you take the ****ing horn out of your mouth".

LOL. Dr G, the horn doesn't have excellent intonation. You do.

Gee. Three times in taxes as many make in salary. I feel so inadequate.

Wanna quibble? The sign does not say "Trumpet" Parking, it says "Trumpet Player' parking and a trumpet player can play a cornet.

Maybe I'm talking out of school, but I get so tired of wading through polemical rants on the internet that have very little to do with the original question. The guy just wants to know what a good horn would be for, probably, community band playing. He's not going to be playing with Herbie Hancock, the Chicago Symphony or as an entering student to The Juilliard School. I feel sorry for what a cat has to wade through.

Ref. the new vs. used consideration, it's just like cars, which I'll spare you the hackneyed comparison, but you know what it is.

I've had them both. If you go used, the most important thing to me, are the security features. I.e. some sellers have a very fair return policy, so you may not be stuck with something that you don't like. OTOH, in principle it;s caveat emptor, all sales final. I wouldn't normally buy a used horn unconditionally.

With new you get a warrantee, return policy and a pretty good chance that it is error free. Right now, I have a cornet from 1929, a 70s trumpet and a brand new flugelhorn. Just don't buy in the dark and with good intentions. CYA.

Regarding phrasing and playing around the melody, learn the lyrics and play them. Tell the story.

Regarding patterns, I agree about the importance of melody and melodic improvisation but there's plenty of room for playing patterns (e.g. Woody Shaw), quotes (e.g. Dexter Gordon) and vertical playing (e.g. Coleman Hawkins). And traditional "classical" techniques are also put to good use, such as sequence (e.g. Paul Desmond).

Well, you've got a problem. boy.

I would give a stock answer and tell you play them all and get the one that rings your bell. You might find that, after you've made your choice, you say, "Maybe I should've gotten the , , , "

I can't speak to all, but I got a Bach 190-37. It was ideal. Had a beautiful, rich sound, played well and was meticulously made. I had to trade it for someting lighter. Know that this is not a negative. It is not a heavy horn. I have had two major strokes and am weak on my left side and just decided to get something lighter. And know that I I have never been a Bach product person, so this is really saying something about the horn.

BTAIM, back to my original suggestion. Take the ne you most well respomd to.

@rowuk said in How do I begin to learn "jazz trumpet?":Scales and chords should be memorized. Then Aebersol is much less daunting.

To that end, there , you can get free downloads on the Aebersold Site, particularly the Jazz Handbook and the Scale Syllabus.

Well, foremost one must know and constantly be reminded that Jazz is an aural art .Cruising the internet for answers, reading books and articles are all good. But they are a supplement, not the main focus.

First off, listen voraciously. If you don't have the feel ingrained in your consciousness and body, you've missed the joint. So listen endlessly to recordings. Sing along to them, shadowing the rhythms and style. This is very important. Go to as many live performances as you can. Things happen live that may not happen when something is recorded for "posterity". Support and meet local musicians. Don't live in a vacuum.

Practice with Jazz play-alongs like Band-in-a Box, Aebersold, Garage Band, etc.

Start learning improvisation the same way. Go to jam sessions and open-mic nights, Play in groups,

I would start with Aebersold Vols. 1, 2 and 54. Once you've got familiarity with those, I would add The Goal Note Approach by Sheldon Berg.

Read as you go along, Jazz Improvisation by Jerry Coker and How to Practice Jazz by the same author. Read Jazz Biographies. Read and absorb a, IMO, invaluable source of information, Lost Chords by Richard Sudhalter

When you've got the chops, add Jerry Coker's Patterns for Jazz, and Elements of the Jazz Language.

Don't be a stranger to your recorder. You get valuable feedback from it that listening when you play misses, somewhat.

Keep in mind. The aural aspects keep dominance over the written and the intuition has dominance over the analytical.

There's more but if this doesn't keep you occupied for a few years, I'd be surprised. Good luck. Have fun.

Looks like fun. Enjoy!
Played it, myself
"Bitte, ein Bit".

I used to go to Schladming (in the area) for sevral summers. The view of the surrounfing mountains was so stunning, I can remember having to look away. It was so beautiful, it hurt my eyes. Enjoy.

BTW, was walking in Salzburg one day and came across a "Smuck Alee", LOL. You and I know what it means, but I could just see the bewilderment in the eyes of American tourists,

Also came across a Fu King Chinese restaurant. Have fun with that one.

Thanks, George.

So, Ivan. That looks like Bavaria. Is that right? (Lucky dog.)
Say "Hi" to Kaiserscharrn for me.

"Good to hear from you. I hope all is well at your new home in Germany!"

Ivan, you relocated to Germany? Where?

IMO, this is not arbitrary as other topics' opinions might be. It's solidarity and compassion about what is clearly immoral and despicable.

Does a Hose Trumpet, fit any practice mute?
