You never know what you'll get in N.O. Once, I was at the Jazz Fair going between two venues and there were scattered "second choice" bands on just cheap platforms or kiosks between the major acts.

As we approached one such band - they were playing a burning version of the Flintstones theme - I told the girl who was with me, "Hear these guys? I've got no idea who they are, but they're absolutely world class. The music world is so unpredictable you may never hear from them . . . but world class."

After they were finished, we were talking to them and they invited us to a 02:00 jam session. They were Branford and Wynton Marsalis.

Hi Tobylou8,
> I wonder if Moscow Mitch will be on bass or keyboards (just kidding) we all know he does backup vocals for Kiss

I think he was barred from entering the bus, Toby.

Must be lonely out there on the South Forty.

Leonid & Friends

Oh, man. I love Leonid & Friends. Enjoy!

While there are still horn bands around, I personally hear them in retro contexts. Sad. It seems that kind of creativity ended with the 70s.

@Doc-Wannabe

One of my all-time favourites to play or to lead!

@FranklinD said in Music. What is It?:

I see almost all the threads here deteriorate in what you call 'humour'. It's a pity but you all seem to enjoy it but I can't figure out why. True, I am not a professional shrink. Must be something what we call in Dutch 'ouwejongenskrentebrood' (oldboyscurrantbread).
But enjoy, nobody will be harmed by silly plays on the schoolyard.

Perhaps it's not, at least for some, a situation that was answered early on. No need beating a dead horse.

Hey, thanks, folks!

Played better than a lot at North Texas, not as good as others.

Did you play in the One O'Clock Lab Band?

Hi Neal! I've been the in the hospital all week, sorry, just saw this. I did not play in the One O'Oclock, rather concentrating on composition and musical direction.

O.K. then, "how many countries are being represented here on TrumpetBoards", thanks.

U.S. here, officially. But functionally, also Japan and Germany. Hope this gives this better focus.

I'm not sure I understand the question but here are places lived. Does not include where I've just visited/worked.
Abilene, Lake Dallas, San Antonio, Dallas and Denton, Texas
Sioux City, Iowa
Omaha, Nebraska
Mt. Clemens, Michigan
Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan
Kailua, Hawai'i (Home)
Riverside, California
Ft. Meade and Tacoma Springs, Maryland
Arlington, Virginia
Macon, Georgia
Biloxi, Mississippi
Kaiserslautern and Otterbach, Germany

As far as work, most of the northern hemisphere, from Viet-Nam around to Russia, and Canada to Mexico.
. . . and places unknown, LOL.

Is Kenny G still considered the best jazz artist of all time?

I agree with tmd's answer (no) but I do know Kenny G holds the Guinness Book of Records for holding the longest note, I believe for 59 minutes.

AND word on the street is Kenny G is making a tribute album to Monk calling it:
Straight, No Changes.

As for me, my request for Kenny G would be to play "Long Ago and Far Away"

OK: Discuss

Quite a coincidence. In the music business and the military, alike, we keep having these "coincidences".

Probably the weirdest accent I heard, was a guy from Cuba who was raised in Alabama. I defied anyone to identify that one.

Course, there was the Arab who was raised in the Carolinas. That was pretty weird, too.

Who broke Rule #1 ?

Now we gotta ditch the site and start all over again in hiding.

What's rule 1? I allow account name changes.

Don't worry. Let's build a wall and have the offenders pay for it.

I thought the photos in Farkas' book at least half a century ago solved this. Geez.

Regarding vertical placement, a friend of mine, one of the state's four top trumpet players and who first got a space in the Air Force Academy Band and then, the Air Force Band in D.C., played off to the right, not centered.

I recently read that Yamaha used the Schilke B-7 as a model for its "Shew" trumpet. If so, how? Does anyone have any more verification of that than just this one bit of hearsay? Thanks.

That's not what she said!

Science aside, , I wonder if instrument makers don't use the bore sizes as matters of classifications, within their own relative results. That horns aren't built with certain characteristics that fall within the bore-size classifications. And these characteristics apply to these given classifications regardless of how it's done?

Man, that's hard to express what I want to say! My point is that, within a given make, do the terms include certain characteristics that show the results and not necessarily the how.

So, if I buy a medium-bore Getzen and a large-bore Getzen, and a medium-bore Schilke and a large-bore Schilke, will the medium-bore horns be have certain characteristics that separate them from their large-bore counterparts?

@Vulgano-Brother said in Do you see what I see??:

Reel-to-reel tape works great when you can slow it to half speed. You get to hear all the crap. Useful too for transcribing solos. (Had fun in college transcribing a Chase solo, then playing it down an octave with a trumpet mouthpiece on a valve trombone--sped up, it sounded a lot like Chase.) Doesn't help when tuning intervals, though. Experiencing resultant tones doesn't work through a speaker.

Let's not extol the virtues of playing at half-speed and down an octave lower too much. I was raised under that system. That's how I learned tunes/transcribed solos. Sucked compared to what you can do today. Ever try to transcribe a bass line an octave a complete octave LOWER?
