Wow, I play piano and trumpet and I suck at improvising on trumpet but I rock at improvising on piano, I have been playing trumpet for 2 1/2 years longer

Well done .... keep it up.. good to see that Jazz is alive and well....

[brofun]

hey...not bad at all..always wanted to learn to play a wind instrument..I play guitar and just got the 2010 biab...hope to learn alot..at 52

Keep it up kid...wish I was that good at his age. I like how he's concious of the changes and is aiming for the 3rds, 5ths and b7ths of each measure

small nugget of advice: use the blues scale sparingly...I used it a lot when first learning to improvise and it can quickly become a crutch because it's so easy and appropriate. try to flirt around the blues slace and not play it linearly

[missionimprovisation]

tHANKS FOR THE GREAT ADVICE. HE HAS RETIRED HIS TRUMPET AS THE BLUES SCALE IS ALL HE KNEW HOW TO PLAY ON IT, hIS TEACHER HAS HIM PLAYING ALL THE EXOTIC CHORDS ON THE SAX. bAND-IN-A BOX IS A TERRIFIC TOOL.

@missionimprovisation calm down on the caps

[chonypark]

[gregsobekofficial]

great!! keep it up kiddo!!

[ArtOfBlood]

That's not a trumpet sound.

[missionimprovisation]

we chose to have him play a vintage Elkhart trumpet because it sounds similar to his Conn sax. one of the best sounding saxes ever. If you choose to play a bright thin-sounding instrument, no body will stop you and nobody will stop him from playing his vintage instruments. At 14 he is well on his way to be a pro sax player. We just made this video to encourage young musicians since he pays the sax so well it intimidates other young players. Now go criticize someone else!

Good stuff

Thanks
