Jimmy Owens spoke in terms of Eastern and Western approaches instead of Jazz and Classical in a clinic I attended. This piece sounds Western to me, and therefore, in a classical style.

Back when Rowuk and I joined TM as moderators, there was a lot more trumpet talk. The lounge and the Cage were for other stuff.

@Kehaulani said in Today's crazy Maynard piece:

My list of his records that bring me the most pleasure are roughly from the late 50s to his M.F. series.

"Live at Jimmy's" belongs in the classic range in my opinion. "Chameleon" is where he started to lose it.

Slur two, tongue two is not Baroque. Slur two slur two comes closer.

Ansel.

Nickel balusters would indicate maybe an early Elkhardt?

I am a great Bible expert and even know the name of Noah's wife. It was Joan. Joan of Arc.

Thanks for the advice. It's the traditional type of march so probably 120+ but any march gives me trouble. I'm playing 1st, along with two others, and there are 3 playing 2nd/or 3rd.
I find the two bar intro tricky on the arrangement ( key of G ) we are using. First bar descending goes : G natural, F sharp, E natural, E flat, D natural, C Sharp, C natural, B natural.

The first run is almost, but not quite chromatic. Could this be adding to your problems?
