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.

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.

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 for watching it as well as your kind comments. It was a fun project to put together!

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

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".

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.

Or a Sears, Roebuck Catalog trumpet, as did I.
That’s because Mao wasn’t into making copies of American Musical Instruments.
