Jam session: trumpet solo at Vitoria Jazz Festival 06

sounds a bit like all blues by miles davis

i suppose it's four, isn't it???

thats what i hear....well at least in the changes and he make quotes in his solo on four

NOPE.,.. all blues is in 6/8 time for one thing..this is straight ahead 4/4 the tune is: FOUR ..done up tempo Miles did write that though

This is truly an inspiration!

ya thats true

good advice

notice how he stays in his blues progression for the most part. if you want to be a good trupet jazz improvizer like this guy practice and memmorize all 12 major scales. then do them all in a row without stopping. when you can do that then start skipping like do every other note in the scale in all twelve. by that time you will be able to improve well.

PS i jam at the blue room in 18th and vine often

I'm from Kansas and jam there too. Not only do you need to know all the scales - blues, major, minor, variations - in every key, but you have to know how they fit with certain chords. It's one thing to have the scales down, it's another thing to make them sound good :)

I usually go up there with my friends to watch the jam nights.

not a blues progression
