@j-jericho

You hit the nail on the head. Yesterday, a good friend of mine, and fellow trumpet player from Miami, sent me this link to the Library of Congress’s “National JukeBox”
( https://www.loc.gov/collections/national-jukebox/about-this-collection/ ). One of the first recordings I stumbled across was Herbert L Clarke’s May 18, 2012 revording of “Southern Cross”.
Your prize for answering correctly is your own personal Sousa Band Concert recorded in the early 1900’s. The link to this, in the National Juke Box is immediately below. The specifics about the Herbert L Clarke recording is below the link.

I stumbled across this audio recording and thought many of you might find it interesting, as I did. I converted it into a video so it could be posted, accessed on YouTube, and put it in the form of a quiz. The soloist and composition may be obvious to some, but they were not to me. In approximately 72 hours I will post the answers, in the meanwhile, respond with your best educated answers or guesses.

@ssmith1226 It's "THE HIDDEN TIGER".

Bingo

@barliman2001
Your autographed trumpet case challenge reminded me of this jungle scene where your challenge is to find the “hidden tiger”.

@kehaulani
As a Doctorate level professional, your level of understanding music is infinitely higher and more complex than mine, as a rank amateur. I am not sure what you are asking, but I am guessing that the rhythm section was created on a program such as iRealPro, or a prerecorded background track.

I just stumbled across this Ukrainian Jazz Trumpet Player. Outstanding….

These are some of my guesses.

Or at least roast marshmallows…

I know that Trumpet playing is often described as “sizzling”. I saw this article and its embedded video of playing Trombone in a sizzling fashion. I thought that some of our group might find this concept interesting and educational.

Thanks!

Barliman and George,
Thanks for watching it as well as your kind comments. It was a fun project to put together!

"What the F**K do you know about trumpet playing" is what Miles stated as he kicked a 17 year old Eddie Henderson out of his Ferrari for critiquing his performance at a club.

Number 17
At least he had a pretty good day job later in life.

@kehaulani said in The 15 Best Miles Davis Quotes:

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".

Number 18

@j-jericho said in The 15 Best Miles Davis Quotes:

The one I remember the most is: "My daddy's rich, my mama's good lookin', I've never had a bad day in my life, and I can still play the blues."

Why don’t we assign “16” to that quote.

It might be interesting to list your five favorite, meaningful quotes and comment on them
