This was their first album. Love it. Probably more rock&roll than the band with David-Clayton Thomas (DCT).
On the other side of the spectrum, I also loved the band just after DCT.

How's this?

@Kehaulani I "right click" on the video and a menu pops up. I click "Copy Video url", then just paste.

Thanks, Tobylou.

@GeorgeB: George, I would suggest just that you find out what works best for you. Just to reiterate - you have to be ready for this. Incorporating it befopre you're ready for it just causes problems.

But to your question as to when. After playing this exercise, I had to do a little playing to refocus my sound and embouchure. If this is your last exercise of the day, I would suggest you do follow it with some quiet, focused playing as a warmdown. I personally, wouldn't do it right out of the gate, lest your embouchure is set for a different kind of playing than most of your other exercises are. If you do it in the middle, I would take a break before continuing and I would begin that session with some focus, controlled playing before continuing with your exercises.

p.s. Getting up at 5am, Hell no. Getting in at 5am? Oh yeah!

You show up on a gig with a horn that looks like that, you better play!

Ah, thanks. I was curious about it because my main teacher had studied with Schilke. Sure enough, that exercise is exactly the same one and played in the same manner that my teacher taught me. We used an exercise from Arban. I think we played p. 129, but the 16th notes were played as long as you could play them. Blastissimo, but without breaking up.

What is "Shilke Power", please? Thanks.

@Bay-Area-Brass - I don't understand you latest post. (Kehaulani?)

LOL. Well, I thought it was self-evident. I am saying that I don't hear a direct influence of Doc on Maynard.

@Bay-Area-Brass - I don't understand you latest post. (Kehaulani?)

Thanks. That notwithstanding, do you hear an influence? I don't. Thanks.

@Dr GO - are you sure of your remembrance of Maynard saying he's influenced by Doc? I don't hear it. Maynard's (earlier) improvisations were, IMO, much more sophisticated than Doc's; more, maybe to Brownie's.

(Of course, you can be influenced by someone and sound like someone else. I was really influenced on alto by Art Pepper but, on listening to a jazz recording, I sounded more like late Sonny Red, LOL.)

He makes no mention as to why Maynard or Doc Severinsen was omitted.

Although both have multitudes of admirers, could it be that McNeil doesn't find actual schools of influence from them?

Where does Cindy Bradley land in this tree?
On my lap?

I don't know how to add it, but doesn't Wadada Leo Smith deserve a mention? And where?

Rock & Roll with horns (that was the topic, right)? Electric Flag, album: A Long Time Comin'.
