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.

RE: Today's crazy Maynard piece
@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.

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.

RE: Fast Tempo and old farts
@GeorgeB said in Fast Tempo and old farts:
@fels
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?

RE: Fast Tempo and old farts
It might be your fingers. Doing patterns slowly enough that we can play them perfectly builds muscle memory, and lets us "play" faster than we can read.
But only if the fingers cooperate.

I took lessons until I was good enough to teach myself.

RE: What Are You Doing New Years, New Years Eve
This year I'm watching the family friendly fireworks in the Park at 9:00pm.
Best New Year's gig ever was playing two Bach cantatas--one before midnight, the other after.

RE: Who did it better??
There will always be those that do it better. Only one can be the first.

RE: Brass instruments are not pneumatic circuits
We have D, half round, round, ovate and pretty much whatever shaped tuning slides, each promising (and delivering) something different.
Do fluid dynamics play any role?

RE: Which picc?
Sorry, as much as I love Getzen, their high horns aren't the best I've played.
