You steal cigarettes?

Martin Denny! Was weaned on his stuff.

Used to see his group on local (Honolulu) T.V.. His xylophone player, Arthur Lyman, branched off on his own group. He (Arthur) was actually a good jazz player. Used to hear him in jam sessions.

So, is a Burrito a small Burro?

When they want something, it's urgent, when you need something - crickets. But that's typical human nature.

I'm not sure that tendency isn't usually overcome by professionalism, though. This doesn't have to be that way, but I'm sorry if it is.

Now that's what I was looking for, thanks, rowuk!

So, basically, discussing vibrato performance practices are the same as a Kenny G, thread on Sax on the Web.

I've done gigs like that. Even played Bitburg, too.

Not only beer but Schnaps or Kirshwasser or Obstler. Dangerous stuff.

My policy was for the band to always stay one drink behind the crowd. That way they stay a little drunker than you. I think it worked. At least that's what I'm told.

I "think" that was the Paul Weston band of the early 50s. Sounds like a Harry James admirer but I don't think that was him.

Does the K stand for someone? If it does I think that I know who that would be.

Yeah, it stands for Kehaulani.

I am only aware of Models B, H, J, V and R. No K.

@mrhappy said in My First Complaint!:

Get yourself some bagpipes... play them for a few minutes, then when you switch to trumpet everyone will be so relieved and happy that they'll want you to keep playing, living in fear that you'll switch back!!

. . . or Harpsichord.

BTW, "bagpipes" come in sundry sounds and styles. What you are referring to are Highland Pipes. Check out Northumbrian pips.

@GeorgeB said in Maynard was no disciplinarian ?:

But we Canadians are known to be well mannered.

Canadians are not well-mannered. It's called passive-aggressive.

This is not a bash Maynard thread, but to give balance, I understand he was pretty stingy with wages.

Boy, communication 101.

Oh, man, how cool. Thanks, Shifty.

@FranklinD said in How do you feel about vibrato?:

Sorry, that's all there is...

Well, I don't believe there is. There must be historical commentaries on vibrato performance practices of their time. Assumingly, no one on this board knows about them. That ignorance (not meant condescendenly, I don't know, either) does not trump historical sources and research.

You folks are still using contemporary and personal preferences. I am asking for tangible, original sources.

Well, to me it's all about the music. Who cares what it looks like? It's a tool.

To contrast, I am a Martial Artist. The older and funkier your Black Belt looks, the more wear and tear it, and you, have had. I remember during a workshop once, even seeing a guy beating his belt on the sidewalk, to look older.

The musical circles I've hung with wear their worn instruments with pride, not as museum showcase pieces.

I read about instrumental vibrato imitating the human voice, but who's to say that the voice used little or copious vibrato?

What the human voice does is often put into the context of modern reflection. But who is to say that vibrato is natural to the human voice?

Here's a good example of alternate, cornet playing, Warren Vache.
